Helldivers 2 seems to accuse its own creative director of "dissident concealment" as the cover-up ends and flying bugs are confirmed real

There's been some alarming news on the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Helldivers 2 warfront. It turns out 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Helldivers 2's Shriekers, the flying bugs quite literally making the rounds, are indeed very real, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:despite repeated denials from folks like creative director Johan Pilestedt, who's also CEO of developer Arrowhead and who may well have put himself in the hot seat of the Galactౠic War's high command.

A new in-game dispatch confirms: "A new strain of flying Terminids has suddenly appeared across all Terminid planets, with no prior warning or indication of any kind. While the Ministry of Intelligence has always known this was a possibility, the abrupt𒉰ness of the evolution indicates a high possibility of dissident concealment."

Yes, if only there had been 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:some prior warning or 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:indication of any kind. Now, I'm not a lawyer, nor have I studied intergalactic media law very close✤ly (read: at all), but it sounds to me like the brave flying bug whistleblowers have been vindicated, while Shrieker deniers like Pilestedt have some explaining to do. I'm sure the director will say he was only containing panic while awaiting definitive confirmation of this new threat to provide the best possible directives for the good of Super Earth, but I'm not fully convinced of that excuse I just wrote myself. For good measure, I need to see a picture of Pilestedt posing with a slain Shrieker like a fisherman showing off a bluefin tuna. 

The dispatch continues: "The deployment of Termicide was fortuitously timed – doubtlessly, it averted an even worse evolution. Helldivers are advised to exterminate these mutatio🐻ns whenever encountered."

Oh yes, doubtlessly. Surely planet-wide deployment of Space Cockroach Agent Orange had nothing to do with the appearance of a dangerous breed of mutant bug, and surely this is the only time that'll happen. I'm really starting to hope players are actually wrong about the perceived signs of a Bile Titan-beating 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:superbug that may soon rear its ugly head

Pilestedt asked players how to fight serial kickers, and the community's got one surefire way to humble toxic hosts: throw their samples in the abyss
