“I was expecting shrinkage after the sale, because that always happens, but not immediately, and honestly not myself because RPS doesn't have an editor at the moment, so without [me] it just won't have editorial leadership. More fool me, eh?”

Sounds kinda like Deathspank, which was awesome.

Helldivers II sales top 12 million in c/games@sh.itjust.works

[–] khab@kbin.social 5 points 6 months ago

Arrowhead has less than 100 employees. Helldivers 1 sold much, much less than 2. It has an all-time peak of 6,744 players, and that was seven years ago.

These were the conditions going in. I’m sure they’re trying to scale up and meet the insane demand for bug fixes and content, but that ain’t done in two months. In most respects this is a small developer who hasn’t planned for this kind of popularity.

Helldivers 2 CEO Says Arrowhead Must Fix the Game and Add to It at the Same Time ‘To Stay Relevant’ in c/games@sh.itjust.works

Weird. I have like three crashes total in 66 hours since I bought the game in late march. Did you clear the shader cache, update drivers and all that jazz?

Microsoft has ‘let Blizzard be Blizzard’ following its acquisition, studio says in c/games@sh.itjust.works

[–] khab@kbin.social 7 points 7 months ago

MS has been doing that for over 20 years, no news there. The reason for acquiring is to deny acquisition to others, and to ensure MS’s ecosystems have software, I imagine.
