"too long"? The game is 4 months old.

Hot take, don't buy any games which were only released in the last 12 months. Matured games are far more stable

I remember when people on this site were saying Helldivers was already GOTY back on release week, hilarious.

If it wins after this situation, it's definitely not the players choice.

I'd agree with this statement for most games, but the best way to enjoy Helldivers 2 specifically is to play it when the playerbase and the hype is at its peak. The gameplay will still be just as good a year from now, sure, but you'd miss the emergent story being built right now

I won't miss out on any gameplay story by waiting a year. I have a core set of friends, we'll do just fine in a years time.

The only thing I'm missing out on is this dramatic period of instability

Sure, not trying to tell you how to enjoy your games at all! I was just explaining why people would want to play this specific game closer to launch rather than later

Agreed! I was just mostly showing my gratitude to the people fighting Sony and my relief that I can get a chance to play, didn't mean for my message to be taken literal on the "too long" part lol.

That being said, my reasoning for wanting to play it soon is that I've got a few friends who are all now interested in picking it up... I'd rather enjoy the time to play with them now then not be able to play it with them in a year when they've moved onto something else.
