Found this on Sham's LinkedIn profile, so it's not exactly hidden information.
Shams Jorjani hosts a podcast called The Business of Video Games. He's been interviewing Kim Nordström about his book Up, Down, Up and the 4 phases of video game companies. Startup, growth, maturity, and decline. This episode posted on August 10th was about "The Decline Phase". The irony of what's discussed is astounding.
1st stage of decline: "Hubris"
- Kim Nordström talking about blowing off the numbers out of arrogance and hubris.
- The podcast posted 4 days after Shams bragged about EoF's player count on Twitter.
- Shams briefly mentions news articles talking about HD2 losing 97% of it's players.
20:00 – 2nd stage of decline: "Undisciplined pursuit of more"
- Kim Nordström says: Protect your core business, stabilize the decline before expanding.
- Shams recently mentioned making connections with other companies at Gamescom for collaborations and such.
He ends mentioning at 38:30 "The CEO of a very successful company stepped down after 16 years and asked somebody else to come in and run the business….kudos to Johan Pilestedt."
It's like Arrowhead went against all the advice of the game development business veterans. It's funny to know Sham's makes a podcast about running video game companies while failing to run a video game company.
