The new CEO at Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead has wasted no time introducing himself to the game’s community – heading over to Reddit to drop a bit of an essay. Naturally, some players have fairly taken this as an oppportunity to ask for his input on some of the current hot topics surrounding the game – one of these being the matter of transparency when it comes to the hard numbers behind gear.
If you missed it, Arrowhead’s recently been busy faciliating a CEO switch from Johan Pilestedt to Shams Jorjani, with the aim of letting the former focus more heavily on helping develop Helldivers 2. And, as players wait to see whether the latest developments in the Galactic War are – as is being speculated – paving the way for the Illuminate to finally arrive, Jorjani’s decided to say hello to them.
In a pretty lengthy post on the Helldivers subreddit, Jorjani provided a lot of background on himself and his friendship with Pilestedt and emphasised that “the ship will stay on the same course, despite the change in captain”, with its former Jack Sparrow taking on the role of “being the Obi-wan to many ‘Lukes’ in our studio”. Basically, Pilestedt’ll be helping advise and consult with the developers as they enact tweaks or create new stuff.
