Helldivers 2 CEO Shams Jorjani responds after players voted to name the reconstructed city of Remembrance as Gun. This highlights how gamers often opt for comedic choices in polls.

Background

Following the recent events in Helldivers 2, the storyline centers on reconstructing the city of Remembrance. When Arrowhead Game Studios asked players to vote on a name, they were given choices including New Remembrance or Gun. Surprisingly, Gun received a majority with 72% of the over 85,000 votes.

In response to the unusual choice, Jorjani stated, “I really don’t know where we are with that. I personally hope we go the managed democracy route and pick something else.” He acknowledged the decision was overwhelmingly in favor of Gun, yet the studio might still consider alternative options as a means of maintaining the ongoing narrative.

As the game continues to thrive, keeping the community engaged through polls and discussions like this is crucial for its success.
