Helldiver’s 2’s former CEO, now CCO, made headlines earlier this week—including ours—by announcing he’d be on a sabbatical following years of hard work.

League of Legends players might spend countless hours brawling with each other, communicating through the ancient art of murder and mayhem, but what they can’t do is have a simple chat.
