On April 24, President Joe Biden signed a foreign aid package that also included a bill that could ban TikTok in the United States. This ban can only be averted if the China-based company that owns TikTok, ByteDance, sells off the popular social media app before the 270 day time limit is up.

Johan Pilestedt is also tired of removing the fun.
It feels like with each update that comes out for Helldivers 2 another weapon (or several) are given a new nerf. Hell, just this week developer Arrowhead released an update that nerfed the R-36 Eruptor.
Fans are getting a little tired of what feels like constant nerfs and an apparent lack of buffs for weapons. The nerfs are making the game "unfun" according to most of the complaints. A common argument against... -
