The point made in the article is that this isn't supposed to some content that is released and over, like a TV episode. It's a live service game that's expected to be continuously played and generate income. This a huge drop is a mark against that model.

I do love helldivers, but I'm not exactly sad if live service games end up being not attractive to devs anymore.
