A Subnautica developer has reportedly been fired over controversial comments he previously posted to Twitter, with the game's sound designer Simon Chylinski tweeting that he has been ousted from his position at Unknown Worlds Entertainment.
Chylinski has come under fire recently after a number of recent comments he posted to Twitter were placed under the spotlight. The sound designer took to Twitter yesterday to post an update on his status with Unknown Worlds Entertainment, tweeting: "so. i just got fired.. :("
Isn't it illegal to fire someone for their political views in California? Unknown Worlds Entertainment may be in for one hell of an uncapped damages lawsuit.

It's an Enlightenment ideal. Don't worry though, the US no longer seems to be teaching those values. Progressive dogma seems dominant at the moment, opposed by 'conservatives'. Traditional liberal and libertarian ideals are thin on the ground, and the Enlightenment ideals get lip service then are treated like obstacles.
