Video game CEO John Gibson stepped down from the helm of Tripwire Interactive after his support of the Texas abortion law created a firestorm.

Tripwire, which publishes games including “Chivalry 2,” said in a statement Monday that Gibson has stepped down and that his views don’t reflect those of the company.

“His comments disregarded the values of our whole team, our partners and much of our broader community,” the company said. “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.”
