CohhCarnage leads boycott of Tripwire titles after controversial Twitter thread CohhCarnage \/ TripwireTwitch streamer Ben \u2018CohhCarnage\u2019 Cassell is leading a boycott against Tripwire Interactive \u2014 the makers of Killing Floor and Maneater \u2014 after their president tweeted out in support of the new Texas abortion laws. Tripwire Interactive, the video game developers who made Killing Floor and Maneater and published Chivalry 2, have been thrown into the spotlight after their president, John Gibson, professed his support of the controversial new Texas laws banning abortion after six weeks. \u201cProud of the US Supreme Court affirming the Texas law banning abortion for babies with a heartbeat,\u201d he wrote. \u201cI don\u2019t 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.\u201d Proud of #USSupremeCourt affirming the Texas law banning abortion for babies with a heartbeat. As an entertainer I don\u2019t 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. \u2014 John Gibson (@RammJaeger) September 4, 2021 His post has blown up on the internet. And not only has the company been losing partners because of it, but CohhCarnage is leading a boycott against them. \u201cSo sorry for the folks at Tripwire Interaction who have to have this person as their leader. Doubly so for the people at Chivalry and Torn Banner Studios who chose to make someone like this their publisher,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019ll be stepping away from these games and won\u2019t support that company.\u201d Oh\u2026 oh wow. So sorry for the folks at @TripwireInt who have to have this person as their leader. Doubly so for people like @ChivalryGame & @TornBanner who choose to make someone like this their publisher. I’ll be stepping away from these games and won’t support that company. https:\/\/t.co\/t36KiJLEB0 \u2014 Cohh Carnage (@CohhCarnage) September 5, 2021 CohhCarnage followed it up with another tweet saying he believes their collaborators and partners have probably been \u201cblindsided\u201d by the president\u2019s tweet as much as anyone else. And it turned out to be true in not one but two instances. The president has since stepped down from the company. \u201cHis comments disregarded the values of our whole team, our partners, and much of our broader community,\u201d said a representative from Tripwire Interactive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
