Sony and Arrowheadchanged their mind about thatafter player backlash in the form of 100,000+ negative reviews on Steam.
Community manager “Spitz” was low-key encouraging players to continue the review bombing.
This doesn’t seem to have gone down well internally.
It’s a bit of a messy series of events.
Many started leaving negative reviews on Steam, with some asking for refunds.
Meanwhile, in theHelldiversDiscord, community manager Spitz was firefighting this displeasure from fans.
“Players making their displeasure known through reviews, refunds, etc.
gives us more pull in discussions with Sony,” he said in a post captured bya Twitter user.
Within a couple of days, the planned requirement to link accountswas dropped.
This might have been the time when the rocky drama levelled out.
Except for one thing.
Arrowhead have not themselves stated a reason for the dismissal.
It is also unclear if the fired employee actually wants the job back or not.
I wouldn’t want to re-enter an office after a souring debacle like this.
“I stand by it.
It was my job to represent the community, that’s what I did.”
