As you already know, Helldivers 2 It has gone through a lot of controversy in recent days. Because players are required to link their Steam profile to a PlayStation Network account, Arrowhead Games’ work has received negative reviews, with many demanding a refund on PC. To everyone’s surprise, One of those in favor was the studio’s community manager, who was fired in the last few hours.
According to GamesRadar+, a user known as Spitzer took on the role of community manager at Arrowhead some time ago, with the goal of building a healthy community. Helldivers 2. But a few days ago during the entire disaster Dr. This person took the public’s side, and encouraged users to leave negative reviews on Steam and demand refunds. While this was loved by players, it wasn’t something that Arrowhead and Sony appreciated. Thus, Spitzer was declared dismissed from his post. Here’s what he said about it:
“It’s generally not a good idea to ask people to refund and leave negative reviews when you’re a community manager TIL I appreciate all the support and I appreciate even more that everyone can play again without limitations. I knew I was taking a risk with what I said about refunds and review changes. This I keep. My job was to represent the community, that’s what I did
I wanted to work for Arrowhead because it’s my all-time favorite studio. I had that chance. I am grateful for that opportunity. I would gladly continue working for them if I had the choice, but that’s not up to me or anyone else here. “I can be happy and I don’t want anyone to cause problems for me, especially those I still have a lot of love and respect for.”
At this point, there has been no official statement from Arrowhead regarding Spitzer’s departure, and their message indicates that His decisions during this controversy affected his position within the company.. We can only wait to see what the future holds for the Community Manager position. On a related note, you can learn more about this case here. Similarly, Helldivers 2 May come to Xbox.
Author’s Note:
It’s a shame. As Spitzer points out, his job was to support the community, but this coercion seems to have gone too far. At the end of the day, they are all employees, and attacking your own company can be seen as a very bad thing, and on this occasion the consequences were not long in coming.
