Johan Pilestedt, CEO of Arrowhead Games, has suggested that fans hold out on buying Helldivers 2 until the ongoing server issue are fixed.
The game launched on February 8 for PS5 and PC, but has been plagued by a number of issues resulting in servers struggling to cope with demand. Arrowhead has been releasing a steady stream of updates to help combat these problems, but the studio has warned that “no single update will solve all the issues.”
Now, in response to a fan on Twitter, Pilestedt has said that it would probably be a good idea to hold off on buying Helldivers 2, although acknowledged that as CEO of its developer, he obviously wants to attract more players.
If you have no cash, get it later. While we made a really fun game it’s worth waiting until the servers can support the capacity. I mean, as a CEO I of course want the game to be as profitable as possible, but if you spent yr last $ and got stuck in server queues I’d be 💔
