I doubt the game will even function within 5 years without an engine swap.
No team that small and that constrained can keep up with both content development and engine maintenance
Valid, but I'd like to see them try.
Actually though..
I have literally had a 66% fps loss since launch with no settings change, not to mention stuttering now and other issues. Some of my friends still can't reliably play on Illuminate maps without cranking everything to absolute minimum.
Have fun with that. I'm over the gameplay loop and the constant rebalancing.
Alright guys, officermike is over it, let's shut down the entire game. :p

That's so sad, I was looking forward to Helldivers 2 Two

I’m still loving the game. I still pick it up when I have time and my mates on, which brings me to the only downside; missing out on events. Some of them are seemingly gone in the blink of an eye. If you’re not on everyday then it’s easy to miss out being a part of cool moments.
I thought I had FOMO until I realized I didn't really care, or need to care.
What a strange thing to “add” to the conversation. Imagine this was a spoken conversation and you said that, I’d hit you with the hard “O… K?” because it’s just just a weird sort of nihilism.
Like, why care at all, about anything, really. Corporations rule the world and even if they didn’t, nature doesn’t care about us or what we do. Anything we do leave as a “legacy” will eventually be lost to time or the heat-death of the universe so why try or care or see anything other than the encroaching darkness of death.
Alternatively, I’m going to enjoy my silly little video game and it’s a shame the story events pass me by because of the intricacies of life and obligations.
Kind of makes me nervous, honestly. Considering the game is on a no longer developed/supported game engine, and that over time the amount of horrific bugs, performance issues/crashes, and sheer storage size of the game already gets worse and worse and worse. It seems like they're perpetually taking on technical debt with every new feature patch, more than they can ever fix.
If they can keep the funding rolling through current means, cool. I love any game that can sustain itself through non-shitty means and provide me more gameplay.
That being said, I don't foresee myself giving them another dollar unless they release a legitimate DLC as the passes aren't worth their price and I only jump in for a couple hours every year at this point. It's fun, but they can't seem to make content and fix bugs and the systems/balance don't encourage experimentation with your builds.
no shit he'd like to milk a cash cow indefinitely...
I'd buy into that vision if there is a proper local area network or offline mode. Arrowhead's forever game promise is as good as Microsoft's "Windows 10 is the last Windows OS".
That comment was taken out of context, sadly, and they quickly clarified it. They never meant that Windows 10 would be the last operating system. They meant something like giving free upgrades if memory serves, but I would take that with a grain of salt because I don't want to make more misinformation.
"No more paying for your operating system, free upgrades for all- oh wait, it seems your uhhh rolls a die processor just can't handle a truly modern operating system so please buy a new computer whose manufacturer paid to have windows 11 pre-installed."
