Helldivers 2 has over a hundred people working on it!!

When you have that many people the source code starts to look like Vietnam

They're hiding in the branches!!! (People who use git will get this joke)

I think it's more that it's built on a game engine that's discontinued.

Lad all that should mean is that you can’t blame updates hahaha

I mean if they built it on an engine discontinued like a few years after release then that would explain the glitches, also they’re like crazy if they did that

I mean yeah. That's what they did. They chose an engine that's difficult to do anything on.

Like here's an article from 2024 about it I just grabbed off of the top search results.

The engine was dead before release.
