    RIP Spitz. It was a ballsy move encouraging users to leave negative reviews in order to make our voices heard. Gotta respect it.

      Don’t do it for him, he was by far the worst CM I’ve ever seen. He was acting like a Reddit mod, he would hand out bans without any reasoning, would get into arguments with the players and was just overall antagonistic and apathetic towards the community. People would literally meme that Spitz is the Gollum and Twinbeard (who is actually a pretty good CM) is Samwise. Even his initial response to the PSN fiasco was along the lines of “It’s not the first game to require a third party account. If you can’t be bothered to make one then don’t complain here, go leave a negative review on Steam” and he kept antagonizing the community for quite a while before doing a 180 to side with the community. And while that was a good thing from the community perspective I don’t think that one example excuses all the prior shit he’s done.

      The comment he gave for the article (and the overall tone of the article itself) is just trying to whitewash the fact that he was a shit CM who deserved to be fired even before rallying people to ask for a refund.

    Really amusing seeing how many people are ready to pour one out for the fired CM just because he was fired, and don’t realize how friggin awful he was as a community manager. I bet y’all think Darth Vader was a good guy just because he did one last good thing before he died, too.
