You can partly attribute the success of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Helldivers 2 to the relationship developer Arrowhead Game Studios has built with fans, who have greatly appreciated creative director and former CEO Johan Pilestedt's straight-talking attitude. But when Pilestedt suggested that cash-strapped players hold off on buying the game until the servers were stable, well, that talk was a little too straight for some of the folks at publisher 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Sony Interactive Entertainment.

Around the time of the Helldivers 2 launch, "the community was super excited about the gameplay that we put up, and everybody flocked in, and it became wildfire," Pilestedt said in a Game Developers Conference panel attended by GamesRadar+. "Everybody told everybody that you need to play this game, and it crushed us under success," he said, referring to the game's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:early server issues.

: "'If you have no cash, get the game later. While we made a really fun game, it's worth waiting until the servers can support ca⭕pacity. I mean, as CEO, I would, of coꦅurse, want the game to be as profitable as possible, but if you spent your last dollars and got stuck in server queues I'd be heartbroken.'"

The idea of a CEO suggesting players not buy their game generated headlines ✱at the time, and Pilestedt said it "took 5 minutes until I got a call from the friendly people over at PlayStation a♏sking what the fuck I was smoking. 'Don't recommend that people do not buy your games' - it's incredibly conventional wisdom."

Despite Arrowhead trying to fix it twice, Helldivers 2 still features a chaotic bug that lets you slide around like a snake, and "it's even more hilarious" after the latest update.
