Will now be punished by being forced to live in the basement at the Alamo.
Tripwire Interactive CEO John Gibson has decided to step down from his role at the company following the fallout of his comments on the recent Texas six-week abortion ban. Notably, his comments caused the Chivalry 2 developers Torn Banner to distance themselves, and a few other teams to sever ties with the company.
Tripwire’s statement on Gibson’s departure:
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.
