Speedrunners are some of the most dedicated people in gaming, devoting hours upon hours to mastering their respective games and achieving excellence—but when it comes to raising money for charity, they're often completely unhinged for a good cause.
As you may have noticed, Helldivers 2 got really popular real fast—and has been suffering under the weight of success for a week and change. Reviews lamenting server problems caused it to dip into 'mixed' territory on Steam, and a harsh 15-minute AFK timer had to be implemented to curb server squatters.
Patch 6 of Baldur's Gate 3 released recently, and it came with its fair share of bugs and issues, most of which are getting fixed in short order. One thing that had modders' hackles raised, however, was a double-tap that busted the game's script extender (required to run the lion's share of mods) twice: One expected breakage when the patch dropped, and a second less-anticipated break from a hotfix.
Helldivers 2 is a co-op game, and its mechanics are designed around that. All the samples, super credits, and medals you pick up get shared among your teammates at the end of a mission. Yet for some inexplicable reason, some players say randoms are gunning them down to swipe their goods—or yelling at them for impossible resource hogging.
The team over at Arrowhead Games has been wildly busy with Helldivers 2—which is to be expected. After a meteoric rise in concurrent players that forced a raised cap to 700,000, the game's playerbase has swelled to near-unmanageable levels which, as you might imagine, would keep a community manager very busy.
New Blood is getting pretty old, huh? The developer (which is behind several indie hits of the past decade) is having a 10 year anniversary sale to celebrate the occasion, aptly titled «We love you, we hate money».
Helldiver's 2's latest patch bumped the concurrent user cap from around 450,000 to 700,000 which (alongside an AFK kick timer of around 15 minutes) should make Arrowhead Games' triumphant horde shooter actually playable for the majority of divers.
As announced earlier this month, SpecialEffect—a charity we're proud to have teamed up with before—is running a special stream to help raise money for physically disabled gamers.
