This post
from Johan Pilestedt, creative director at Arrowhead Studios, gives a sales
estimate for
HELLDIVERS 2, the PC and PlayStation first-person shooter
homage to
Starship Troopers. Despite
some issues that are
still being
worked through, word is the game has sold "around" a million units since its
launch last Thursday (thanks
Reddit). In a
previous post,
Johan addresses the suggestion that the game is pay to win:
I'm partial
but we really applied ourselves to not make it p2w even though items are
functionally different. The only item that's p2w is the revolver - which will
win you any "cool gun" competition. Only (minor) problem is that it's not that
good. 🤷
