Tripwire CEO Steps Down Amid Controversy [Sep 07, 2021, 11:03 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
The controversy over
a tweet by
John Gibson supporting the anti-abortion law that recently took effect in
Texas has quickly boiled over. Yesterday it was reported that
developers Shipwright Studios cut ties with the publisher and developer Torn
Banner Studios distanced itself from Gibson's remarks. Now Tripwire itself is
also created its own distance,
announcing that Gibson has "stepped down" (presumably after some coaxing),
and has been replaced by interim CEO Alan Wilson. Tripwire says Gibson's
remarks do not reflect the opinions of the company:
The comments given by John Gibson are of his own opinion, and do not reflect those of Tripwire Interactive as a company. His comments disregarded the values of our whole team, our partners and much of our broader community. Our leadership team at Tripwire are deeply sorry and are unified in our commitment to take swift action and to foster a more positive environment.
Effective immediately, John Gibson has stepped down as CEO of Tripwire Interactive. Co-founding member and current Vice President, Alan Wilson, will take over as interim CEO. Alan has been with the company since its formation in 2005 and is an active lead in both the studio’s business and developmental affairs. Alan will work with the rest of the Tripwire leadership team to take steps with employees and partners to address their concerns including executing a company-wide town hall meeting and promoting open dialogue with Tripwire leadership and all employees. His understanding of both the company’s culture and the creative vision of our games will carry the team through this transition, with full support from the other Tripwire leaders.

If I was you I’d be more angry that somebody thought you were American.
The trolling part is a far second.
Seriously, not a all RedEye9 !
Even with today's political craziness and capitalistic excesses, I know what countries I would like to lead in the world's stage.
A Merkel's Germany -goodbye Angela
-, a healed democratic USA, ...(I think that matriarchal governments could be generally way better than patriarchal ones, a la Jacinda Ardern).
China ? Haha, no, thanks. Let's not even mention historically rogue Russia.
Note: England ? Dumbasses brexited their way out of world relevancy, and with exactly the same arguments, opened wide the Scotland and Ireland exit window.
