Scott Cawthon, creator of "Five Night's At Freddy's" is now retiring from game development according to an image on his website. However, according to Cawthon, the series will continue with a developer of his choice. Cawthon was recently caught donating to controversial politicians such as Mitch McConnell, Donald Trump for the past few years on OpenSecrets. Cawthon received backlash and later responded to the backlash on Reddit claiming he would not apologize for supporting political candidates who he believed were best for the country. The LGBTQ community had also give Cawthon backlash for supporting Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell, however, Cawthon claims he does not have hate for the LGBTQ community and he respects them. He also thanks the LGBTQ members who supported him.

I'm glad his ass was cancelled, but I don't condone the doxxing or the death threats, that's going too far. At least this era of cringe has come to a close.

To Scott Cawthon, I have this message to you:

Your commentary doesn't make you any better.

So, apparently, you can't support people differently than others, or else they will cancel you because good riddance to free will.
Strange times, these...

He was actively funding the Republican party with tens of thousands of dollars, of which the Republican party hates the LGBTQ+ community, which is what most of Scott's fanbase is. That's a direct attack on his fanbase. They're completely in the right to cancel his ass.

Did you read his post on Reddit? He donated to Republicans, so what? That makes him an homophobe by osmose?

What the hell is wrong with you? You've changed...

Seriously, there's a billion more important things going on in the world then a gamedev supporting Trump...

And yet your you're wasting your time on a forum focused on video games. Let people make their own decision what they find important. And, picture this, people can even pay attention to multiple things with varying degrees of importance. Technology truly is incredible!

Yes.

Pretty much. But people are bored so they must rage about something.

Speaking of:
Scott Cawthon said:
I'd like to think that the last seven years would have given me the benefit of the doubt in regards to how I try to treat people, but there I was, trending on twitter for being a homophobe, getting doxed, with people threatening to come to my house. My wife is six weeks pregnant and she spent last night in fear because of what was being said online. She has already been struggling with her pregnancy so seeing her so afraid really scared me.
Not. Cool.

Honestly, he was on his way out for a while.
True, but there's a difference between someone retiring by themselves and others making him retire.

Jesus Christ, people being pissed about politics made one of the most influential indie devs of the 2010s retire? What the hell?
All of this because of some wack-ass politics ruining everything for everyone yet again.
Let the man live his life and stop riding that much dick you attention-seeking boring life having ass bitches
Sorta-but-not-really. Scott considered retirement for quite a while, even having multiple "final" FNAF games before then - he also contemplated in the letter on how he's "turning 40 and is missing out on a lot of things". It's just that the whole drama acted as a good excuse to do just that; I think Scott retiring from the industry was a matter of time regardless of politics.
