Again I think you're missing the point. I would argue it is a product and a service. They are hosting us on their servers but they're also playing dungeon master. If you just want a shooter where you shoot bugs they have them but Helldiver's is more than that. You couldn't come close to emulating what the game accomplishes on a self hosted server with you and your friends. The point is you're playing with randos that you have to rely on to do their part so that you don't die and to complete the major orders.
