Tripwire Interactive CEO John Gibson, writing messages in support of the abortion law that went into effect on September 1, texas, probably didn’t realize it would be a turning point for both his firm and himself. John Gibson’s comments drew a huge response from both the cast and partner studios.

Shipwright Studios, which has worked with Tripwire for more than three years, announced that it immediately cancelled all its contracts, announcing that it could not continue to work with Tripwire under these conditions.

Then Torn Banner Studio, the developer of Chivalry 2; These views are neither shared by our team nor reflected in the games you create. This statement is in stark contrast to our view on women’s rights” distance from Tripwire.

Gears of War creator Cliff Bleszinski and God of War director Cory Barlog were among those who reacted immediately.

Following these developments, tripwire’s board of directors met and terminated CEO Gibson:

“John Gibson’s comments are entirely his own opinions and do not reflect tripwire interactive’s views. His comments are completely contrary to the values of our team, partners and community. As tripwire’s leadership team, we are extremely sorry and united to take immediate action and create a more positive environment,” said Alan Wilson, current Vice President and co-founder, as Tripwire’s CEO.
