Arrowhead CEO Johan Pilestedt is just a little bit reluctant about embracing the live service label.

    Well, he’s an executive, so of course his word means jack shit.

      Sure he’s an exec. He’s also one of the devs who started Arrowhead 15 years ago to make Magicka. Given his track record, I would give his word more credence than those of the likes of Yves “quadruple-A” Guillemot or Bobby “packaged goods” Kotick. His comms when the servers were on fire felt genuine.

        That does bode well. Hopefully the temptation doesn’t win in the end.

      From what I’ve seen, he seems pretty alright. May be wrong.
