This was blatantly more of a 'fuck you' challenge, and even top players would've struggled doing it.
I'm seeing it more of "would be nice of you to rework trash tier stuff that noone uses instead of launching 50more new warbounds". Its only a "fuck you challenge" idea because they themselve let the balancing go in that way.
 
Some additional missing context which makes the situation worse:

After Key_Complex_150 proposed the original challenge, another person made another post which upped the ante and offered another $1000, but only if the devs did the challenge with absolutely dogshit loadouts, and only if they could manage to fully clear an entire operation.
This was blatantly more of a 'fuck you' challenge, and even top players would've struggled doing it.

Now, because this new challenge was more of a troll challenge that would've just resulted in the devs being railed and suffering, and is 100% not possible for the devs who we already know aren't good at the game, some 'people' felt that it wasn't made in good faith.

They felt that the issuer of the challenge was basically trying to goad the devs into suffering for entertainment, because not taking the challenge would mean no charity money would be given.

This train of thought gave rise to the idea the the issuer was "holding the charity money hostage" just to fuck with the devs.

With the above in mind, these 'people' set out to dox and harass the issuer, calling his place of work and the like to screw him over. And here's the kicker: they doxed the first guy, not the person who made the additional challenge, meaning they doxed the wrong person for the wrong reason.
The second guy has actually made follow up posts specifically to clear things up and tell people that he's not the guy who got doxed and they're offering their sympathies to the wrong guy.

The reddit mods fucking deleted them, because they've now decided that discussing the controversy or challenges at all is haram and not allowed.

So now people are just getting more confused, the og harassers are basically getting off scott free, and the guy who did literally nothing wrong and with zero malice is completely fucked.
 
This has to be one of the most retarded things I've read on reddit and I have read polycule and tranny shit on the reg in the general threads. What is this mental illness? Is it catalogued yet? I feel like it's new, overreacting this much over nothing has to be a new thing.
 
This is what happens when you let Swedes out of the cage. All they had to do was not shut down any criticism and only listen to "erm skill issue, the game is perfect" posters that suck them off in their discord server, and get off their asses for more than one day a week to actually fix shit before releasing it.

All they had to do was listen to the people complaining about the game's problems instead of the glazers for 5 minutes.
The writing was on the wall for a long time. Arrowhead has long been a corpo semi-woke company that bragged few years ago how many women they hired in their studio fighting against the internalized misogyny.
If Arrowhead was a Polish company run by Polakchuds none of this shit would've happened.
No nationality is free from retardation, there are plenty of retarded devs in Poland as well. Just off the top of my head there was Superhot where devs removed the suicide ending because it was triggering someone's self-harm anxiety or something lol. Warsaw in particular feels nearly like California.

 
Corporatus dickrideitis.

The overwhelming desire to defend multimillion dollar companies even when they fuck up because you have no father and "the chuds" are criticizing them.

It never stops being relevant for fucking reddit :story:

Also, a bunch of HD2 youtubers (who themselves are not top-tier 1337 super gamers) managed to do the shit-gear loadout challenge themselves.

So it's 100% doable, just difficult because the equipment is super unbalanced and hasn't been fixed by the devs yet despite the playerbase telling them to for 2 years straight.
 
We need an final solution to the redditor question. I have never seen a positive thing about reddit and everything new I see just shows they are the fucking worst.

I haven't played HD2 in a little while because I refuse to pay for PS online unless it is on sale for at least 50% off, but I had fun in the game. Sad to hear it has gotten shittier. Although, now that I think about it, I stopped seeing memes of it on twitter for awhile. Should've known that memes disappearing means no ones playing.
 
Helldivers 2 is interesting because the product being sold isn’t really the game, as much as it is the experience of pretending to be in a galactic conflict alongside other people. This is a very fun idea that, unfortunately for Arrowhead, is doomed to suffer embarrassing incidents like this because pretending to do something important online stimulates the same autistic neural pathways in redditors that Black Lives Matter and Israel does. Hence the Super Earth horsefag fatwa.

You might think that a Community Manager’s job would be like a gardener’s, cultivating the community’s makeup and norms by being careful not to appeal to certain elements and not rewarding activist behavior — like, say, not adding a fan design cape based on bitching at you to fix your game. Unfortunately the redditor is also your greatest whale and shill, and business demands that your live service game attracts the people that will spend the most money.

I don’t expect this to improve. Any mainstream video game developed in the west that isn’t a shooter or has a ball in it measures its financial success on if you can get redditors to whale it. I am sure in Japan there is a comparatively retarded online community that Capcom or Tecmo-Koei are beholden to, but for the non-yellow man, the redditor is the tastemaker.
 
Is there any chance Reddit the company know how insufferable, insane, violent and vindictive the community they have built is? Do they see it or are they as bad as the people who use the site?

I would celebrate if most terminal redditors died. I think they are evil.
 
Should've known that memes disappearing means no ones playing.
Oh it's doing fine, numbers-wise. 100k concurrent is the standard now that Xbox is in the mix.

People are just getting more and more pissed at the devs not fixing shit and not listening to people, the game is still fun when it... y'know, works.

Are there any screenshots, links, or videos to back this up?

Deindividuation, only in this case it's combined with the retardation and approval-seeking faggotry of Redditors.
