Helldivers 2 advises players to wait before purchasing

The launch of Helldivers 2 faced unexpected challenges. Johan Pilestedt, the creative director and former CEO of Arrowhead Game Studios, advised players to wait before buying the game. He wanted to ensure that server issues were resolved first. This advice came as the community was excited about the new gameplay. Players flooded in, which overwhelmed the servers. During a panel at the Game Developers Conference, Pilestedt explained that he tweeted a message telling players without extra cash to hold off on the game. He acknowledged that while he wanted the game to succeed, he would feel terrible if someone spent their last money and encountered server problems. His comments caught the attention of Sony Interactive Entertainment, which quickly called him to express concern. They were surprised to hear a CEO suggest not purchasing a game. Despite ongoing efforts to address the problems, players are still encountering a funny bug that makes characters slide around unexpectedly. This issue has persisted even after the latest updates.
