For some Helldivers 2 players, the fascist role-play has gone too far (www.polygon.com)

It took GantztheDemon 10 days to be able to play Helldivers 2 again. On Feb. 21, TikTok user AJGaming shared a video featuring Gantz killing them. The sequence went viral overnight, garnering 4.8 million views as of this writing. A subsection of the Helldivers 2 community, hung up on the politically charged satire theme of the online shooter, labeled the player as a “traitor” and began inciting others to shoot on sight. Alongside dozens of TikToks campaigning for a witch hunt, Gantz’s PlayStation account was temporarily banned after receiving hundreds of reports.

I've got 20 hours in and the only issue i have run into is getting kicked when joining a game.

It's good fun and i play by myself. I imagine if i had friends who played it would be an absolute riot

I think this about life a lot.

Assuming you're in Australia from the instance, so time zones might suck but I'm always down to play HD2 with others.
