I was just chilling playing DRG when I came across this video by youtuber Ratatoskr, titled, "Why Is There Constant Conflict In The Helldivers 2 Community." I think it explains very well the reasoning behind why AH acts the way it does, with the monkey's paw style patches, the lies, and the broken promises.

He brought up how in the early days of helldivers 2, when the devs and moderators can act without any restraint, when they were actively fighting the community without any of the fancy PR wording. This is like during the first major railgun nerf days. We got Evil-Bosse, who acknowledges that HR wouldn't like his way of mocking the player base (customers) but did it anyway. We got moderators that banning players for not liking his furry art. This is who AH really is deep down, this is the unfiltered version of AH.

These types of people are the same people that are still at AH, they are just more "under controlled" by Sony, who is now their boss and doesn't like massive backlashes from players. The devs have always hated the player base for not going along with their vision of the game, the so-called "grunt fantasy". This is why the devs promise to not nerf the coyote but did it still in a roundabout way. This is why the devs hide all the undocumented changes. This is why the devs are actively lying to the community and not fulfilling the promises made almost 2 years ago. Sony is breathing down their neck, that's why they did the 60 day patch. AH can't do any of these shenanigans openly anymore, so they resort to these petty tactics. They have always been this same narrow minded bunch.

I’ve heard and seen people say there is organized brigading and deliberate misinformation being spread…. Are there ring leaders?? For some reason people think YouTubers are involved? I get this sub have some unfavourable opinions and grating means of communication but is it harmful?? I don’t think so?

I don't really engage with the community unless for commisarkai, all this review bombing was about the lack of transparency of AH ,lack of progression or the Ap4 nest guard?

I would hop right back on HD2 if it were able to get the SPTarkov treatment. Is anyone working on a project that would put the live-service backend in the hands of players?

Is this just a safe place for y’all to wine bitch and bully, arrowhead, and other people? Because that’s all I’ve seen and yeah some of y’all have some valid criticisms but I’m not going to agree with those criticisms when you’re being an ass people would agree with you more if you weren’t a dickhead y’all are actively adding fuel to the fire to what feels like a community civil war so get your heads out of your fucking asses and start acting like normal human beings with basic respect and not Reddit loser Chuds we’re all in the same community here and we should all work together to get what we want but in a kind and respectful way i’m not saying your criticisms number invalid. I’m just saying the way you’re giving that criticism is.
