'We have an actual person with the title of Game Master': A single Helldivers 2 dev named Joel is pulling the strings on its galactic war like an all-powerful D&D dungeon master, war will become 'more and more sophisticated over time'

Arrowhead has noticed the "attachments" players have to planets and will make them more of a character in the future.

Arrowhead has been curating the game with a Game Master named Joel. Everyone thank Joel for giving our missions that human touch.

    I agree with you and everyone trying to downplay the significance of Anti Cheat kernal access is misinformed to not think its concerning. My solution is, I only have games on my PC that don’t use anti cheat all the anti cheat games I have on a ps5 where you have no web browser to spy on.

      Thats pretty much it - dont buy it, or have a specific machine with no personal info on it thats only used for video games. It’s incredible how readily people give up full access to their OS and hardware control and just trust an arbitrary company. Have we not been spied on enough? How many times does this lesson need to be taught? Gee wizz, I sure hope “Joel” can’t manipulate anything beyond the game itself and this company is trustworthy.
