It’s not only right for me, but it’s also right for the organisation.
Since Helldivers 2 took the world by storm, Johan Pilestedt has become a household name, with the Arrowhead CEO’s hands-on nature in terms of sharing updates on the game and openly interacting with its players having endeared him to a lot of Super Earth soldiers. Now, Pilestedt’s chosen to step down from being a CEO, staying on at the studio in a capacity that’s aimed to allow him to focus more heavily on the creative side of developing the game.
Yup, one of the very few CEOs you’ve ever been able to find responding to posts in a Reddit community – without coming off like either an annoying douche or that Steve Buscemi ‘how do you do, fellow kids’ meme – is gonna be getting to do more of what he seems to love most, working on Helldivers.
