After urging players to leave a negative review on Helldivers 2’s Steam store page, Arrowhead’s community manager, Spitz, has been let go from the company. Now, players want him back and have launched a change.org petition asking Arrowhead to restore Sptiz just as he “restored the faith of [its] community.”
And not only that. The petition, https://www.change.org/p/re-hire-the-legendary-community-manager-general-spitz on Tuesday, also calls for the “canonization of General Spitz in Helldivers lore.” Spitz was known as a controversial community manager who stirred up several heated discussions regarding the game, including asking players to review-bomb Helldivers 2 in an effort to curb Sony’s attempts at introducing a mandatory PSN sign-up.
