Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead has announced a crackdown on what it calls "suspicious super credit activity", targeting players or accounts that are acquiring the game's premium currency through illegitimate means. Super credits can be bought with real money but also earned in-game, which makes any large-scale or automated harvesting of them a concern for the studio's monetisation and fairness.

The PC Gamer piece pairs this enforcement news with a pointed critique: the writer argues that the underlying problem is how tedious and slow it is to earn super credits legitimately in the first place. The implication is that a grindy, unrewarding earning system pushes players towards exploits or third-party services, and that improving the standard way to gather premium currency would reduce the appeal of "suspicious" activity.
