"I hear what you're saying" Helldivers 2 dev Arrowhead responds to backlash from players against the high prices of their new Killzone co-op gear

Earlier today, Helldivers 2 download developer Arrowhead used the first opening sequence of the first game ever. It's a bit of gear inspired by an idle PlayStation shooter Killzonebut the prices that players are being asked to pay for this stuff has prompted some backlash.

Basically, like us reported in our story this morning about the use of this Helldivers X Killzone cooperation, the amount of large credits that are spent alone for the new assault rifle and weapon set added to the superstore with this update has drawn out for not being so far away from the 1000 super credits – which is HD2's in-game currency – people are used to paying for a whole Warbond that has a bunch of stuff.

Now, Arrowhead CEO Shams Jorjani has gone to the game's Discord server to address this price criticism from Super Earthers.

“Hey – a quick comment on the Helghast stuff,” he wrote in the first post, “First off – this is our first collaboration so we'll figure it out as we go. Tell us what you to see it there Second it's optional – the more of this we sell – the clearer we can keep free falling.”

Jorjani then did what high-profile Helldivers 2 devs often do when they appear on the server like this and he responded directly to some players responding to his message. “To be clear – that's not what we want to do,” he told one accusing Arrowhead of “planting the seed with the possibility that we will have to pay for non-collaborative updates / content in people's heads” with this gear, saying: “But the better the overall business does the more/better the continuous free updates .”

While sticking to the idea that “if we make money on optional stuff we can cram in more fun core stuff”, the CEO acknowledged the criticism and suggested that the studio accept the “legitimate” negative feedback he received on these prices. “Our intention was to try different things and see how players respond, how the material sells and develops over time,” he wrote in one of his last posts. in this little server chat.
