    Okay, maybe I am interested a little bit. Private servers are always a welcome addition to a game, especially online only games. At least if official servers shut down, I can run my own server and keep playing.

      This game is developed by the same company that made Conan Exiles, which was a worthwhile purchase at $5 or even $20 for the Early Access but is a horrible buggy mess. They’re just there for a cash grab and it’ll be the same in this case as well.

        I actually got Conan for my dad, he enjoyed playing it, but now he is into Helldivers 2.

        It was an okay game, but not my cup of tea personally.

          I enjoyed it, too, about 200 hours worth with my wife on it. It had multiple crashes, BattlEye was forced with it, and the whole model was set up to make people rent servers from their affiliated server company for like 20$/mo. There were plenty of servers paid for by people to choose from beyond the official ones, but again it’s the same business model.

          Heard good things about Helldivers but I’ve been too busy to buy more games lately.

    I’m just surprised to hear a new game is releasing with the ability to create private servers baked in.
