    Baskinator needs to go. Entire team needs a review. Spitz had a character development arc but he was the sacrificial lamb in the end. In the end tho this is what accountability looks like sometimes. He dropped the ball in his initial response to the whole thing and these things have consequences. It's just how life works. We tip our hats to him just the same.

      Most egregious was the fact that Sony were literally rewriting the ToS in their favour _after_ millions of players around the world had already accepted it.

      A community manager is supposed to manage the needs/wants of the Players For the Company; Spitz Managed Democracy For the Players, against the Company(ies , technically) and knowingly risked his job (and then lost it) because he stood on the side of the Players.
      Considering how immersed players get in Helldivers, and the content creators get about it... I think it only natural that Spitz be heralded as the martyr he became.

      ​@@CrazyLikeUhFox I'm just saying, even if he was an a-hole, he told the community the best way to be heard, was review bomb and refund.
      In one response I saw where he was antagonistic, he had said to the effect of , "didn't you say you were re-funding/uninstalling?"
      While he was definitely out of line, he still pressured the community to do what was effective, for the community - not the company/corporation(s) he was paid to represent.
      Do I know everything that transpired? Absolutely not - but I can still recognize that both his behavior and suggestion of action, intentional or (edit: nor) not (in regards to his behavior) had a positive effect for us players, and not Sony.
      Did I over-dramatize the reception I feel Spitz should be receiving without expressing in full, why I believe it? Yes.
      Is this even enough to justify it? NO.
      I'm some guy sitting at home with a keyboard on my down-time, chiming in for fun.
      If any of this is incorrect, or there is information you have that could change my stance, I'm happy to hear it.

      While you're probably right about the rest of... whatever you're thinking of - that I can't deny - this however isn't about Drama - this is an unfortunate repercussion built on mis-understandings and mis-communications (or hidden communications, depending on how you view the placement of important factors in a User-License Agreement) and how Sony knowingly sold Helldivers 2 to Countries with zero, or extremely limited access, to PSN accounts. Re-read that as many times as it takes : this isn't/wasn't drama, it is/was Scummy Company Decision-Making that the community fought against, and won, not for themselves, but for those who would have, essentially, been "robbed" by Sony.

    There was a lot of other things said by Spitz and other CMs that I just assumed you did not mention (if you are on the Helldivers 2 Discord) as you seemed to be focusing primarily on the issue of the PSN requirement. What Spitz said there at the end was what he should have remembered as a CM, to show some professionalism. It’s understood that being constantly bombarded as they were over the last few days would be trying, but he should have remembered that you have to hit a button to submit or transmit your text into the ether on the ‘net and maybe you should think about whether or not you should push that button to transmit or not.

He was clearly fired as an order from Sony as he said "there's nothing WE (from arrowhead) can do about it)". Think about it, no CM would be that dumb to say what he said if not with a purpose.

    If you see the PSN linking debacle as a Lawful evil choice by Sony, then I'd say that the choice to fire Spitz would be either Lawful neutral or true neutral.
    On one hand, Sony can not have their community managers declaring civil war against them; but on the other hand community managers are indeed supposed to be that all inportant link between the wider community and the larger corporation. They have a tough job, walking a fine line where they need to fight on the side of the community AND advocate on behalf of the corporation when the community gets too rowdy.
    In this matter, Spitz decided to fully take the side of the community and do what he believed was right for the players. Which i comend him for. However, i also understand why Sony felt the need to "purge" him from the company. At the end of the day, the score in this whole controversy ends in a 1-1 draw. Hopefully, both sides have newfound respect for each other and are willing to move forward together.

    I feel for Spitz, but he's also brought this on himself. Dealing with people can be exhausting but if, while I worked as a cashier at a grocery store, I told someone to fuck off or cry to corporate or whatever when someone got red in the face and yelled and insinuated my mother delivered favors for narcotics in alleyways because their two dollar bag of chips didn't ring up with the proper 30 cents off, I'd lose my job. But that's why I don't want to work as a community manager, and stopped working "front facing" positions, because I know one of these times I'm _not_ gonna hold back and it won't end well. So, while I commiserate that Spitz had to deal with whingy gamers (almost as insufferable as coupon-clippers) I cannot deny that someone in those positions has to rise above the provocations.
    Honestly, if Spitz hadn't made a name for himself with clapping back in this and other communities and had made the statements that the discord wasn't the effective place for the community to make their displeasure known more indirectly, instead of trying to dunk on people with it, he probably would've just gotten off with just a slap on the wrist. Hopefully he'll learn from this and when the abusive CMs are out he'll have proven he could be mistaken for an iceberg with how cool-headed he's become and can reassume the mantle. 💙💜

    I think it's bizarre how people are helping spin the narrative that Spitz fell on his sword for the HD community. For those who were fans of the series since the first game know that Spitz has had a rather arrogant and confronting stance when dealing with people. He nuked the OG HD1 discord for a very poor reason and has had multiple instances of antagonising the community. If the CEO needs to step in to de-escalate a situation then clearly he is not doing his job as a CM. People were also review-bombing on steam long before he told people to do so - this was not his plan. I believe he wanted people to move off the discord with their complaints as it was making his job harder. This outcome is not "strange" - it is simply a consequence of not doing their job properly as being an informed CM that bridges the gap between the developer and the community that supports them.

    review bombing will still be done regardless spitz mentioned it or not. he is not the instigator. good thing he was demoted.
    he will have more than 120 seconds to reflect on this

    the behavior of the community always banging on the gates of Arrowhead HQ with torches and pitchforks at a lot of decisions made and just knowing how that there are countless people actively trying to start drama with the Developers and Community managers with their "im always right because im the customer" attitude im very impressed with how spitz responded, i dont see how anyone could have kept it much more professional and still show passion for his job in the face of an angry mob

      Exactly. It seems like every fandom acts like trashy entitled babies sometimes

      I agree with this.. spitz was human.. against a bunch of spiteful gamers. He loved helldivers and arrowhead.. what happens when something you love is attacked? You fight back. Sorry to lose him.

    Oh, sorry about Spitz. He really contributed to our victory. It feels like he fell in the struggle for democracy. I think SONY influenced the decision to quit. Sad news! And I would really like an interview with Spitz. I really hope that he agrees to take part in it! Thanks for the content!✊

    As a CM he did not handle his job to AH's satisfaction and was fired. No sympathy from me.

    I see the topic in two ways: on the one hand, yes, he said that we should continue to do a lot of reviews, but on the other hand, he also said exactly that it was no problem to create an account in 2 minutes. So all in all, I personally find it difficult. In the end, everyone was under pressure and I can imagine that you would lose your composure, but I don't think he should emerge as the hero of this matter.

    Sounds like he knew he would be fired for all that. He really did jump on the grenade for us. He needs his own statue in front of the Wall of Martyrs
