TripWire Interactive CEO steps down after supporting Texas abortion law

The CEO of video game maker TripWire Interactive resigned from his job this week just days after backlash over a tweet in which he expressed support for Texas' new abortion law. 

TripWire chief John Gibson, who has been with the privately held video game publisher since its founding in 2005, took to Twitter on September 4 to praise the Supreme Court's decision earlier this month not to block the law. "As an entertainer I don't get political often," Gibson wrote. "Yet, with so many vocal peers on the other side of this issue, I felt it was important to go on the record as a pro-life game developer."
