Helldivers 2 made a donation to Save the Children to honor the altruism of the players
Helldivers 2 players voluntarily gave up a new Stratagem to save virtual children. Arrowhead honored their altruism with a donation to Save the Children.
With the latest Main Order of Helldivers 2, players were faced with a moral dilemma: save virtual children or immediately unlock a new Stratagem ? In the end, altruism triumphed and Arrowhead decided to honor the community’s decision by making a donation to Save the Children .
As you may remember, a few days ago Super Earth gave players the opportunity to choose whether to liberate the planet Vernen Wells, where there is a pediatric hospital with thousands of children , or Marfark in an operation that would guarantee the release of the MD-anti-tank mines 17. Obviously it was only possible to complete one of the two objectives and basically the players only had to gain by getting their hands on a new Stratagem, rather than saving virtual children with the prospect of not receiving any reward.
Propaganda on Reddit
This resulted in real propaganda in the Helldivers 2 subreddit, where players asked the community to join forces and free Vernen Wells. There are even those who have paid an artist to create a promotional image (you can find it below) to plead the cause.

"Dear Helldivers,
Thank you so much for saving us. They told us you made a lot of sacrifices (mines/lives) to help us. We'll always be grateful. Now, we can grow up to become Helldivers too.

Staying on topic, a few days ago Helldivers 2 received a substantial update , which seems to have unintentionally increased the difficulty .
