I don't think he should have been forced out for tweeting the following:
"Proud of #USSupremeCourt affirming the Texas law banning abortion for babies with a heartbeat. As an entertainer I don’t get political often. 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."
The Left is now ascendant in many parts of the culture, but that may not always be the case.

- sterlind 5y agoThe tweet is also factually wrong. The Supreme Court did not affirm Texas law, they just ruled very narrowly that the plaintiffs didn't have standing to request that Texas judges be preemptively enjoined not to hear cases brought under the law. The law will hit the Supreme Court again, and either it or Roe will be overturned. But from a process perspective, the Court didn't say the law was constitutional.
