Despite this, most Helldivers have the machinations ofthe notorious Game Master Joelfirmly in mind. Some players are even concerned thatJoel may turn their victories into new horrors.
Despite these fears, some Helldivers 2 fans just can’t resist rubbing their mostly peaceful galaxy in Joel’s face. X usermalphiertook to the platform to brag about the defenders of Super Earth’s recent performance but more wary players have begged them not to antagonize the infamous Game Master.

The player’s post almost reads like a direct challenge to the man behind the ebbs and flows of the Galactic War. “I guess Joel isn’t all that after all,” they teased.
They aren’t the only player celebrating. “Looks like this Galactic War will be over before my birthday,” one player speculated. Another posited that they’d be home with their families by “Super Christmas”.
Not everyone is so confident and they’re warning @malphier and others not to get ahead of themselves. “For the love of all that is democratic, don’t p**s off space god!” a more cautious Helldiver urged.
“Why would you tempt fate like that?” another player asked. Many more gave messages of temperance in the face of Joel’s potential backlash.

For our money, we think tempting Joel is unwise given the unfathomable power he wields over the outcomes of Helldivers 2’s Galactic War.
We’ll have to wait and see if this gloating has drawn his ire and, if so, what horrors he might unleash on players for their hubris.
