People always say they'd be villains if they had powers, nah, they'd think they would bit as soon as they see a children's hospital on fire they're gonna be saving it
People are naturally inclined to be good unless youre either traumatized or a straight up psychopath. If the average guy somehow obtains superpowers, he certainly will do some underhanded stuff normal people couldnt to benefit himself, but he will also try to save anyone who ask for it. Some people think they could be Superman, while most think they would become Homelander, i personally think that they will become like Sonic instead. He is unambigously a good guy but he isnt above "victimless crimes"
This warms my heart as a gamer! To know that as a collective, the majority had heart to save a virtual hospital in a virtual war. To see how we were rewarded with the biggest morale booster ever. This is just amazing. Love this game and the community
The 30% who went for the mines, would have actually soaked up a massive force that could have reinforced the enemy attacking the children's planet. The consequences of a good stratagem extends out beyond individual engagements.
Thats honestly a great experiment. That proved humanity can be better. There was no reason to save the hospital. But we did it anyway. Its a video game, yet we still focused on the fictional children. Its awesome they donated. Im happy and proud to have been part of the divers there
The masculine urge to throw your lives against impossible odds like wet rags against a brick wall just for the slim chance to see the glimmer of hope in the eyes of one who had all but lost it
Legit, one of my friends who's hardcore into HD2 and the community told me the other day; apparently it's become a meme in itself to never take the mines. It's apparently been an option multiple times and people have always chosen the other option, so now even without any expected reward, most players decided that no reward was better than ending the bit and unlocking the mines. Luckily, it had a wholesome outcome as well, but it's still funny to me that something like that wasn't "cool IRL reward from selflessness" but rather "taking a joke so far that it becomes wholesome".
70% of soldiers were there to save the children, the other 30% gave there lives to make sure those clankers were distracted and unable to send back up.
I could imagine they could have a plot point about one of the kids from the hospital being a child prodigy who ends up making a lot of new weapons for the helldivers.
That 30% of those Helldivers weren't against saving the children. They knew they couldn't get out of there with at least one of them dying. They gave their lives so that the 70% could save all the children.

@@Pokemaster-wg9gxthat sounds like treason…
now imagine, you're a real child in real life, and a video game company that has made well over 200 million dollars (as of months ago) uses you as a prop to donate one weeks pay of a low paid devs salary to a charity that benefits you lmao
truly massive for getting 70% of a few million people to "save the children". Every dollar counts if the money is used properly, but it loses some of its meaning when you know with absolute certainty that the amount provided was skimped on lmao.
not doing some sort of silly little skin that proceeds to go the same charity to have the players chip in even, just fuckin 4k and a request for praise, holy.
I’m loving this community, they are an incredibly rare display of the true power of a community of gamer with a common goal, to have fun and to help others have fun as well. You won’t find an example of this in many other video game communities. The world needs more of this kindness.
Imagine being a sick child losing hope and all the sudden free bird starts playing from the sky
and then you also hear either "VULKAN LIVES!" or "FOR THOSE WE CHERISH, *_WE DIE IN GLORY!"_*

“Ohh..I can’t change..”
“Why don’t you fly? Fly? Free bird..”

Nothing brings a smile to my face more then this. I’m glad to be amongst the divers that chose to save the children.
❤ Speaking for everyone thanks, it means a lot ( I’m not one effected but I have meet and have in my family many people who have disorders and have heard of some who have died of cancer) so you have my upmost gratitude❤
There was never another option for me even if it was fictional children.
Unfortunately, I never read the brief, I just saw the thing saying to attack one of the two planets and picked Marfark at random. Now that I know this happened, I'll definitely pay more attention in the future
Cringe.
@@capybara9521 Your cringe

Now this is how companies should interact with players/gaming community and at the same time you promote your game and help people IRL.
A better marketing strategy
Is a giga chad strategy.
Win-win? Nah, let's put another win in there.
Great pr move
I believe those who participated in the saving of the hospital need the special cape with that drawing. I would be honoured to the deepest side of my heart to wear and bear such cape, such sign.
Yes
That would be the coolest most wholesome thing ever
YES
SOMEBODY SEND THIS COMMENT TO ARROWHEAD I SUPPORT IT 1000%. I would wear this cape indefinitely!
The over 70% of players must've been like: Sacrifices must be made.
And my mom used to say i wouldn't achieve nothing by playing videogames
Guess u proved your mom wrong then.
"Video games make people violent!" ppl when Helldivers do the right thing:
"wouldn't achieve nothing" double negative, so you COULD achieve something, clearly she believed in you
considering that's a double negative *your mom was right*
@@nugget6820 🧐 did you just edit your comment after reading my comment... because I swear the comment above *did not* mention the double negative or else I wouldn't have bothered making a comment about it. Oh well... "Beter goed gestolen dan slecht verzonnen, zeggen we dan"
The drop pods are just blaring “WE DIVE TOGETHER OR NOT AT ALL, WE DIVE TOGETHER AGAINST THE FALL” and the children seeing thousands of divers coming to protect them, warms the cockles of my heart
That’s why we should value morals over big booms no AAA gaming company can replicate the stuff arrowhead cooks up this is the true reason helldivers is such a good game they show us the importance of human life over simple material possessions thank you arrowhead
Warhorse studios definitely does the same
This is the only nice thing they've done in months. Helldivers is sadly going to hell at a diving speed.
No amount of fire power is worth losing future patriots of Super Earth for!
And the update. dont forget@@-Triumph

Bro that children’s note made me fucking cry tears of pure democracy and patriotism
All jokes aside, those children are going to become the greatest HellDivers

@@Captain-flamingo874 Thank you.
I was worried about the lack of managed democracy!😁
'We stopped and visited some of the kids. Handed out empty shell casings, took some victory pose photos, and S2 even let them sit in their Patriot.
It was fun but we kept it brief. The jump coordinates for Marfark were already plotted.
C'mon Helldiver. Who wants to live forever!'
God please someone make a animation of this
Just like the Startrooper commercial in doing their part...
I remember how livid some of the divers were that arrowhead gave money to a children’s hospital instead of getting the anti tank mines 😂
This is why we love this company and fun ideas like one of the drawings could actually be like a cape
A cape supporting future Helldivers is an epic idea!
imagine if we put the drawing on the cryro pod doors, like hanging a kids drawing on a fridge
@@LinWarai Yes please.
There was a reward, and that reward was the smile on the children's faces.
If you say so
@@gilgameshthetreasurehunter2750 what do you mean by that.
@@NexisBhe was probably forced to save the children and he wanted the new
Whatever it was
@@JodaroKujo looks like somebody isn't a patriot.
Cringe.
Mad respect this is such a good way of doing charity in games honestly.
Yeah so much PR for just 4K donation, the people at Sony are already writing bonus checks in tens of thousands for themselves for job well done.
@@Resmundthe helldiver dev team didn’t donate, just that one guy.
@@Resmund Sony didn’t do it it was one guy in the helldivers team
When your player base is Humanity first.
This is the kinda thing I like to believe is common, where even without obvious or even any reward, most people will choose to help someone else, especially someone innocent, rather than accept some other reward for not doing so
i had discussions about this with a friend over the Responders faction in fallout 76. in the event of an apocalypse or any disaster, people are more likely to band together and help each other out over raiding and pillaging
@@gusty7153Cringe raiding and pillaging vs The good Rebuild together
@@gusty7153and then there is the real chads the ones who want to rebuild the old world and hate the mutants on surface. God bless the enclave
It's not common in _some_ places, which is why it's all the more special.
@@gusty7153 Raiders in Fallout games are unrealistic not because people are good and prefer peaceful cooperation, but because the raider to non-raider ratio is wildly unsustainable.

Helldiver community:
All our moms going crazy
They understood the assignment.
Not many things make a man cry, but this... this is one of them.
Yes
i'm actually too worried to ask what would've happened if the players chose the other option
Those children could be future helldivers, we can’t leave them behind.
yeah that's the rewards The Future Next Generation of Helldivers!
Helldivers 2 is always doing sum wholesome bro I swear I wish I could’ve been fighting for sick children like I was in ‘nam against robots
Because games that seem violent are actually just stress relievers like doom, their community is so chill it's the calm looking games like Stardue Valley with the scary community
@@MichaelGonzalez-el8orWhat's happening with the Stardew Valley community?
Things like this give me a tiny bit of hope for Humanity.
Same. The small candle to illuminate the vast darkness.
Humans are by nature meant to be selfless. If the overwhelming majority of what I can only assume is a community of millions chose human lives over technology, then the other 30% are probably going to hell when they die.
Nothing heals sickness better than FREEDOM
This is enough to make a grow man crying
Honestly I did when I saw the high command message. As he said we didn't have a clue while dropping cause we felt it was right that humanity chose lives over material.
And that's okay... You go right on ahead tear...
The last drawing actually got me *almost* teared up. Has to be AT LEAST nominated for GOTY, as even excluding this, it's an awesome game!
It isnt winning it after sony drove away 170+ countries from being able to play it and heavily pissing off the playerbase. Is it game of the year. Yes. Is it game of the decade. YES. Will it win it though. I hate to say it but sony pulled defeat from the jaws of victory. And lost over 7 billion dollars because of this action. Alot of investors pulled out because of this. And alot of players still refuse to play it until all countries are not blacklisted anymore "WE DIVE TOGETHER OR WE DONT DIVE AT ALL"
@@jasonwowhero8147 7 billion? That's crazy. But yes, the blacklist should be removed from all countries, so that we can all squash bugs and liquidate automatons!
@@justanicemelon9963 they lost 10% of their entire stock the moment they started pulling that cuz they lost all the money from over 170 countries. Sooo. The refunds didnt kill em. It was the investors saying "wtf" saw the publics massive backlash and they pulled out.
@@jasonwowhero8147 thanks for specifying!
Whats funny is that he donated $4311 because its a reference to the word HELL 😅
That should have been 4377, except the other way 7734
Pretty sure it is the same amount of children that were saved in game
@@mkcane yes
@@bartegexe8182 it's in l33t speak though. The version you said is a way to write it on a calculator

I won't lie, I shed a drop of democracy to that picture
Sitting in you're room crying, fearing that it might be the end. Until you hear thousands of pods slam into the ground. Outcome helldivers ready to risk it all to save you. God i love being a gamer sometimes
“I want grew up to be a helldiver” oh god what have we done 😂
That's more recruits, worth way more than some mines.
We need them so we can Respond
We’ve made a adult that will save a future child

YEAAA
I do wish more companies would do this...
Dude, if EA ran this game each strategem would be a micro transaction. And I'm not talking about acquiring them, I'm talking about USING them.
@@connman8d617 “if you sign up for the premium plus warbond membership, you can get a dollar off every strategem and free reinforcements” i would fucking murder my teammates if i had to pay for reinforces lol, arrowhead games is a breath of air from today’s video game company bullshit
If helldivers is an EA games the slogan would be "for communism" instead of "for democracy"
For the thing they've been doing from the past 10 years EA will never redeem themselves amongst players and will keep getting ridiculed by players
I hung up my cape long ago, escaping the horrors of the battlefield. But this, this was a reason to come back
Welcome back friend.
Great!......
Can the children make anti-tank mines?
They yearn for the mines
Good idea 😂
no strat will boost my effectiveness in my dives as much as that cute drawing will
no but they become future Hell Divers
Mine is gonna be shit. Let's be real here, we would run into our own mines and die during combat.
Children are the future soldiers, was the correct choice to protect freedom!
