It took GantztheDemon 10 days to be able to play Helldivers 2 again. On Feb. 21, TikTok user AJGaming shared a video featuring Gantz killing them. The sequence went viral overnight, garnering 4.8 million views as of this writing. A subsection of the Helldivers 2 community, hung up on the politically charged satire theme of the online shooter, labeled the player as a “traitor” and began inciting others to shoot on sight. Alongside dozens of TikToks campaigning for a witch hunt, Gantz’s PlayStation account was temporarily banned after receiving hundreds of reports.
Yeah this is why I don’t really play online anymore. It’s more drama or tech issues than fun, I don’t need the headache.
People suck, but people online suck much more.
Yeah but that aside its still a fun game to play, maybe the wink nod of the satire needs to be a little louder.
Because there are always extremes in any group, but that shouldn’t ruin the fun for everyone.
