Same peeps also made Maneater, which hurts more because I really enjoyed that one.

There's always Jaws Unleashed. Which confuses me, because I don't think a leash would fit around a shark's neck. It's kind of a smooth transition from the head to the torso.

Shows you how long it's been since I've watched it. (Really? A shark on a leash? That happened? You're screwin' with me, right?)
I don't really have anything important to add to the topic at hand... obviously. I toyed with the idea of playing Maneater, but I heard it was kind of janky, and that turned me off. Knowing the CEO of the company is supporting that dumb Texas law doesn't exactly sweeten the deal.
Pitting Texas against half of its citizens doesn't sound like a morally justifiable idea, or even a realistically enforceable one. It sounds like people are flooding the hotline with prank calls, as they did with Giuliani's voter fraud nonsense from earlier this year. That coupled with the bad publicity might make Greg Abbot think twice about keeping this bill on the books.
EDIT: You'll find more information on this story here. Cliff Notes: Partner Shipwright is breaking ties with Tripwire, Torn Banner seems to be considering a split, Cliffy B. and Cory Barlog have no direct ties with the company but are not pleased.

Chivalry 2 developer condemns Tripwire over company president's support for abortion ban
The statement already saw one co-development partner end its contracts with the Killing Floor and Maneater creator.

I didn't realize this was the people who made Chivalry 2:
I doubt they have a lot of real options to break away from their publisher for a game that came out a few months ago... Seems like a bad situation.

Holy mother of Mike Richards, that WAS quick! Maybe Abbott should take the hint.

It’s too bad that the Supreme Court Justices who opened the door to all this aren’t vulnerable to free market forces like boycotts and stock prices.
Well, now I can go back to playing Maneater guilt free
Good question. "Stepping down" usually means a voluntary self-demotion or departure rather than a firing. Depending on his ownership stakes in the company, this might be sort of cosmetic as far as whether he's getting cashflow from game purchases?
It can also mean the exact opposite of that (i.e. "stepping down" means he is not getting paid anything), in the situation where being let go comes with some sort of severance and voluntarily leaving does not.
It's just impossible to say without more information.
