Johan Pilestedt had very Disappointed Dad energy after devs and fans clashed over the game's latest patch
A new patch hit Helldivers 2 on March 6 that unfortunately didn’t go over well with the game’s community. In Discord servers and Reddit posts, folks argued with Arrowhead Game Studios staff over the changes that were made to the third-person live-service shooter and the comments some developers gave back to the criticism they were receiving. And now, CEO Johan Pilestedt has commented on the “horrible” behavior of his team. Helldivers 2's first update, patch 01.000.
But since I am a heavy subscriber of a communicative studio it means that I encourage developers to engage with the community. However this also exposes us to risks of miscommunication or heated arguments and it’s something that we actively discuss internally at the studio to improve on. While I understand that it reflects on the studio as a whole, it is not our intention that this should be the behavior from us.
