I am curious how this is going to effect the number of active players. I know a lot of people who were trying to get me to play this saying it was here to stay and not a trend like a Lethal Company but I feel like this hurdle might be enough to get them to give up.

I definitely have a low level of tolerance for Russian nesting dolls of accounts and launchers.

Ive been waiting to get helldivers until I had a bit of spare cash.

Now I'm not gonna get it.

Just like I don't want 50 different streaming services, I dont want 15 different launchers open just to play a game.

There's no launcher as far as I know, just a linked account.
