SteamDB data shows that the recent large-scale update of "Helldivers 2" has failed to attract players to return, and even the number of active players on weekends has not fluctuated much.


Former World of Warcraft team lead @Grummz noted that players are angry about what he calls a "nerfing the fun" mentality in the game. "In my experience, nerfs like this are a common 'dev vs player' mentality that can stem from trying to force players to play the game a certain way, or because the designers feel they are in competition with the players ('They can't play my game this way!')."

"For PvE games, I think nerfs should give way to buffs. Yes, the developer's control will be reduced, but the results will be much better."


In addition, the official "condonation" of the proliferation of scripts is also a major reason why players quit the game.
