Helldivers 2 Community's In-Game Choice Leads to Real-World Charity Donation

Players opted to save virtual children over gaining in-game rewards, prompting developer Arrowhead to donate to Save the Children.

Helldivers 2 players chose to save sick children in a recent in-game event instead of unlocking anti-tank mines.
Developer Arrowhead Game Studios donated $4,311 to Save the Children in response to the players' decision.
The donation was publicly shared by Arrowhead's creative director Johan Pilestedt on social media.
Some players followed Arrowhead's example and made their own donations to the charity.
The Helldivers 2 community has a history of advocating for positive changes within the game and beyond.
