The letter read,
“I had heard of them before. Helldivers.
Defenders of freedom across the galaxy. Harbingers of divine justice, like a blade of pure light shining bright in a world of darkness.
Or so they told themselves.
Their righteous crusade had spread like wildfire and gained thousands, millions of followers. But to the followers, it was more simple than that. Players in a game, looking to have fun.
It was awe-inspiring, and impressive, what the Helldivers had achieved. Even in the Dark Place, such a feat would require a paralyzing amount of planning and masterful skill.
Congratulations were in order.
May Managed Democracy spread across the galaxy.“

The letter also touched on real-world events and further testified to the explosive success ofHelldivers 2. One of the major reasons for the game’s success is that it is just plain no-strings-attached fun. Additionally, the forever war-waged setting in the name of Managed Democracy adds to the thrill.
Notably, the thermos is a collectible in Alan Wake. The post has sparked a lot of speculation among fans if this could possibly mean a potential collaboration between the two superhit games. Some even speculate it to be some kind of easter egg, and expect the thermoses to be lying around the Helldivers universe.
