Spitz isn't a dev, they're a Community Manager, and a tone deaf one at that.

Community manager or not,he still has a Vested interest in the games success. I think this is pretty clearly a Sony being shitty thing. I hope they are trying to find a better answer because I like Helldivers but I'm also not willing to deal with Sonys bullshit.

My saying they're a CM isn't my giving them a pass. But dev vs CM is an important distinction regardless. A CM should know how to address people publicly and not incite even more rage by belittling people's concerns. The only apology they gave so far was the most non-apology you could imagine too.

[–] EchoCT@lemmy.ml 9 points 6 months ago

I don't disagree, but they also can't give a real apology without pissing off the publisher who can shut it all down period. They're damned if the do and damned if they don't.

Could you please whine another paragraph about something if possible even more trivial?

What is with tone deaf users named sp.*z?

[–] Static_Rocket@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Ha, gotta add this regex to my spam filters now that you've pointed it out

No more space zone? Spaghetti, ziti, etc.?

/ Greedy regex is greedy

Imagine being a Community Manager and having no idea how the bullshit your publisher wants to pull off affects your community but still initially siding with them lol

Must be a fucking easy job.
