The UN contacted Helldivers 2 studio about giving a talk on “psychological defense against manipulation”
Estimated reading time: 1 minute
Breaking news, folks: co-op bug basher Helldivers 2 is a satire on authoritarian regimes, and apparently such an effective one that the United Nations even contacted Arrowhead to ask if they’d give a talk about psychological manipulation. Speaking at GDC as part of a presentation named ‘Helldivers 2: Capturing Lightning in a Bottle,’ Chief Easily identifiable satire Officer Johan Pilestedt gave some insight into the game’s themes, then bragged about having the UN blowing his DMs constantly (said they got in contact once). Cheers, Percy Gamer.
