On Twitter, developers Arrowhead’s CEO John Pilestedt responded to the disappointed fans of Helldivers 2, clarifying that the developers are working on improving the server capacity 24/7.

This is one of the rare and appreciable instances in which the CEO of the developing company takes responsibility and interacts with the fans directly to ensure all grievances are addressed.

Staying accountable is one of the things that the big developers forget to do regularly, let alone have direct conversations with the company’s CEO.

John Pilestedt has responded to the fans’ grievances on Twitter, promising that the server capacity will be improved. His replies are lightly peppered with humor, with replies to tweets saying that the server issue will be resolved when the CEO replies.

In a move that proves his dedication and care for the fanbase, John Pilestedt has advised fans against buying the title now if they are short on cash, as the game is currently unplayable.

On another front, a new development has seen fans requesting that Helldivers 2 be ported to Xbox. Right now, it’s unlikely, but once the servers are up and running, that might be a conversation John might be having with his team.
