Unfortunately, some Helldivers do not understand or appreciate the satire.
Which is WILD to me because it’s so on the nose, it’s like it’s not trying to be subtle at all
Most critics in the 90s missed the satire of Starship Troopers and it’s hard to get much more obvious than that.
And Helldivers is an obvious homage to Starship Troopers. So much so I’m kind of surprised they haven’t used "would you like to know more? ".
