Helldivers 2 - Machinery of Oppression / Comic Book Cover Art

And Automatons at last, these first 3 covers i've made has been comms, but i got some ideas of my own for more.

Basically a bunch of senators in some configuration. I've been thinking a lot about it and have a few ideas.

1: duct taped together basically. A bunch of senators just in one mass.

2: disposable senators in a backpack, similar to the c4 backpack.

3: senator minigun.

4: senator shotgun, like the double freedom but with single bullets.

5: senator dog drone.

6: a sentry like the rocket sentry, but with a senator in each hole. Slow firing.

7: Rotary senator rifle. Like a mini gun, except each barrel is only active while the senator has ammo. Has to cycle to the next one once it's out.

Some sketches i made while being stuck at an airport for 11 hours 💀

So for those who don't know

Helldivers 2's creative director went on a reddit ama about a month ago stating that they were stretched so thin that they couldn't afford to do anything but make new warbonds

Recent numbers put hd2 at 1.3 billion in gross revenue. Hd2 is also backed by Sony and has hired multiple studios to make content for them in the past.

And after a massive amount of backlash they have promised to start focusing on improving the game instead of just pushing more paid dlc

For the 4th time in this game's history

They've promised to stop making unannounced changes for the 40th time

They've promised to actually do beta testing

They've vowed to be in better contact with the community

What is want to know is why does it take a review bombing and massive community uproar for the devs to bother to fix their game for two months before thy go back to trashing it
