The new CEO at Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead has wasted no time introducing himself to the game's community - heading over to Reddit to drop a bit of an essay. Naturally, some players have fairly taken this as an oppportunity to ask for his input on some of the current hot topics surrounding the game - one of these being the matter of transparency when it comes to the hard numbers behind gear.

And, as players wait to see whether the latest developments in the Galactic War are - as is being speculated - paving the way for the Illuminate to finally arrive, Jorjani's decided to say hello to them.
