Mar 21 2025

  Former CEO and current creative director of "Jedi 2" studio Johan Pilestedt recently attended the GDC conference. During his tenacious style during his tenaciousness as CEO, he won the love of many players, but for publisher Sony, this style may not be a good thing.

  Johan Pilestedt recalled at the symposium: "After the release of "Jedi 2", a large number of players flocked to the game, spreading like wildfire." He mentioned that everyone recommended this game to friends, but the studio was crushed by this success - this refers to the connection problems faced by early servers.

Pilestedt said, "Things have developed to the point where I sent a tweet." The tweet was: "If you're a little tight, it's better to buy the game later. Although we made a good game, it's not too late to wait until the server can accommodate more players. As CEO, I certainly hope that the game can make more money, but if you spend the last money and get stuck in the queue screen, I will be heartbroken."

After this tweet was released, it immediately attracted widespread attention, and many media also followed up on the report.

Pilestedt revealed: "Less than 5 minutes after the tweet was sent, I received a call from the 'friendly person' over the PlayStation, asking me if he was so big? 'Don't tell others not to buy your game, this is the most basic common sense.'"

Of course, as players know, it did take some time to solve these problems, including new bugs caused by the update.
