The drama itself is arguably less significant than the community response to it, but let me sum up several videos and posts' worth of complaints here. Helldivers 2 community's favorite conspiracy theory shut down by Arrowhead CEO, who says Major Orders are not scripted and the devs are as clueless as players: "Our predictions are often wrong" Helldivers 2 players are blaming everything from bugs, to the other kind of bugs, to Arrowhead itself for them failing the latest Major Order: "The caves did things and it was not pretty" Helldivers 2 players were already getting obliterated, so now it just feels like game master Joel is taking their lunch money, kicking their teeth in, and spitting in their eyes Alongside this, a former propaganda commander, LtBuzzLitebeer, claims he was recently kicked out of the content creator program after refusing to censor a portion of a video at Arrowhead's request. I haven't seen him specify exactly which clip was targeted, but he says it was related to his video about the game's engine and performance, as well as rumors circling them. The backdrop to this is the official propaganda commanders feed in the Helldivers 2 Discord, which is currently filled with Arrowhead-nominated and crossposted folks lamenting the state of the game or declaring their exits from the Helldivers world. "Everyone is quitting the game," reckons Cloud Plays. "Creators are losing hope (and quitting)," adds DjChats in a short compilation of multiple people blasting or dropping the game. Arrowhead isn't required to accept anyone to its program regardless of how well-liked they may be, and it's not uncommon for content creators to face restrictions in exchange for the access that typically comes with this sort of program, but this whole mess has understandably left a sour taste in the mouths of many fans. Tens of thousands of angry Reddit upvotes, a chorus of "It's so over" comments, and more than a few "Justice for Eravin" negative Steam reviews later (Eravin specifically asked people to not harass or "witch hunt" anyone), Arrowhead CEO Shams Jorjani acknowledged the hubbub on Discord. Asked about "the Eravin drama," Jorjani said, "Honestly, I'm not super plugged into what's happening - focusing on other things." One Discord user followed up, saying Eravin was "saying how AH left him on ghost for a year and were quite unprofessional." In response, Jorjani said, "One thing I'll say is that we work with a partner for the propaganda commanders. So I'll have to check in there and see what's what." "The beaches will dry before the Helldivers do": Helldivers 2 players made Seyshel Beach the new Malevelon Creek, complete with propaganda and a stunned response from Arrowhead.
