Earlier immediately, Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead deployed the opening little bit of the sport’s first ever crossover. It is some gear impressed by dormant PlayStation shooter Killzone, however the costs gamers are being requested to pay for these items have prompted some backlash.
Principally, as we reported in our story this morning in regards to the deployment of this Helldivers X Killzone collab, the quantity of tremendous credit being charged individually for the brand new assault rifle and armour set that’ve been added to the superstore with this replace has drawn ire for not being that far off of the 1000 tremendous creds – that is HD2’s in-game foreign money – people are used to paying for a full Warbond containing a bunch of stuff.
Now, Arrowhead CEO Shams Jorjani has taken to the sport’s Discord Server to handle to this pricing criticism from Tremendous Earthers.
“Hey – fast touch upon the Helghast stuff,” he wrote in an preliminary submit, “Firstly – that is our first collaboration so we’ll be figuring it out as we go alongside. Tell us what you’d prefer to see sooner or later. Secondly it is optionally available – the extra of this we promote – the extra illuminate kind stuff we will maintain dropping without cost.”
Jorjani then did as Helldivers 2’s excessive profile devs typically do once they pop up on the server like this and responded on to some gamers replying to his message. “To be clear – that is not what we need to do,” he informed one accusing Arrowhead of “planting the seed of the potential for having to pay for non-collab/content material updates into peoples heads” with this gear, including: “However the higher the general enterprise does the larger/higher the continued free updates can be.”
Whereas sticking to the perspective that “if we monetize optionally available stuff we will cram in additional enjoyable core stuff”, the CEO did acknowledge the criticism and recommend the studio can be receptive to the “legitimate” unfavourable suggestions it is gotten on these costs. “Our intent was to attempt various things and see how gamers reply, how the stuff sells and enhance over time,” he wrote in one among his last posts throughout this little little bit of server chatter.
