I agree with the sentiment, but I don’t know Helldivers 2 – what basic launch features were/are missing?

There’s a strong argument that the server architecture needed to be better at launch, but then the game sold more than an order of magnitude better than it was expected to, so no one would have noticed that it scaled badly had the player count been in line with their design and testing.
