the moment editor comes in, you know something bad happened

It's worth noting that Pilestedt is still Chairman of Arrowhead and is still technically Shams boss.

[KrimsonStorm]

One thing I will say is Johan is still the chairman. While the CEO is in charge of all of the rest of the C suite, he's accountable to the chairman.

So in essence, Johan hired someone to do administrative work while keeping all major decisions in his exclusive hands. Smart strategy

Just to make it clear for people even though Johan isn't the CEO anymore he's still the owner of the company and he can still make himself CEO at the drop of a hat if he wants to because he owns the company they're private. He made himself creative director to steer the ship back to its proper course and fix all the balance issues that the current balance devs have caused. Keep in mind that as stated by himself he was a Dev before he became a CEO so him making himself creative director is a good sign for the game. Especially because he agrees with players that the current balance team has been nerfing anything that we find fun.
The point is if the current CEO doesn't live up to expectations and makes too many stupid decisions he can be fired by Johan and then he can appoint himself CEO again.

So it goes. Game gets big. They bring on a new CEO that pretends to care about Gaming. They squeeze every last drop out of the IP then move on to the next company.

Same thing Linus did for LMG. Arrowhead is NOT publicly traded.

So the owners stay the same and can keep the CEO from doing anything too bad. The former CEO who realistically is a Game Developer first and foremost is now solely focusing on creating the games which is their skill set. And someone else who seems like a friend of Pilestedt can focus on all of the top level admin duties.

As long as the ownership makes sure the CEO doesn't do anything too bad, there should be no issues with this. And the studio should technically be better off with the creative visionaries in creative roles, and someone for management inclined to take the admin/ceo role.

Whoever asmongolds editor. Fucking legend. Only reason I watch these videos is cause you.

The third alien race will be behind a $70 DLC wall for 3 new enemies, 2 new guns, and a new planet to fight over.

Its a 50/50, the next couple of months will show in what forge the game is molted.

If they put out banger updates and more content, this will be a revelation.

If they try to milk the players and drivel down the spiral of sell-out, this will be their downfall.

[balakehb]

Pilestead still primarily owns the company and is the Chairman, and the old CEO left before the editors included notes, most of Paradox's shortcomings came after he left. Fundamental misunderstanding of what a CEO actually does.

[auffy]

This "video editor" isn't a mere mortal, I am now convinced... He's a literal "wise wizard" whose lived through countless wars and regime changes throughout the centuries: during which, he sported the fancy of being known as an "advisor" for many Kings and Queens in the past. How else would he always have so much digestible context, on the ready, for us normal folk to absorb?

[howlingdin]

Arrowhead is a private company. The CEO can't do anything major without the approval of the owners, one of whom is Pilestedt.

[berserkerpride]

He got himself busted down back to private so he could join the war.

Helldivers 2: *strikes gold*

The seagulls of the gaming industry: "MINE"

[DeetTenebris]

I love how that channel is now as much about Asmon as it is about the editor

Narrator: "It was, in fact, not the perfect situation."

The vultures are coming for HD2. It was good while it lasted I guess.

[brokedudeforever]

180 countries still Trapped behind Enemy Lines

[ShaiVR]

According to the article that was a part of the post Pilestedt will still remain Chairman. So he should still have control over anything the CEO tries to push.
Hopefully that means we won't see any crazy monetization added in.
