Despite turmoil in the gaming industry, layoffs, and studio closures, this year started off like a blast. Several hit games were released, capturing the minds and time of millions of gamers. And according to SteamDB activity charts, Helldivers 2 even began to surpass Palworld in terms of concurrent players.

However, one game's gain in activity means a loss for another. Amidst the popularity of Helldivers 2, the community raised a question — which game did you hastily abandon to dedicate yourself entirely to spread galactic democracy?

Player killstorm114573 shared that after the release of Helldivers 2, they dropped Call of Duty. According to the gamer, Activision's shooter feels boring and repetitive compared to the cooperative war against space bugs and automatons.

Here's a list of other games and activities that gamers dropped to play Helldivers:
