Helldivers 2 CEO says you should thank Sony for the game's Xbox port even though "we were all in support," and "we get a lot of help from PlayStation" with bug fixing

The new Helldivers 2 Xbox port apparently would not exist without help from the angel on the shooter's shoulder, Sony – as in the maker of the PlayStation, which rumors suggest is eager to shift more of its exclusives to Microsoft's console. He recently told a fan on Discord who thanked him "for managing to get HD2 to Xbox, seems like a great game I can't wait to get my hands on" that, actually, maybe you should send a fruit basket to Sony instead. While there hasn't been any mega-official confirmation of this plan from Sony itself, Microsoft has repeatedly shown its commitment to stripping itself of exclusives after its Activision acquisition like a suddenly pious man does with his possessions; Gears of War comes to PS5 later this month, if you weren't already convinced.
