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.

    I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the one musing about whether it would be good to ban black people from competing with white people in sports is not about "nationality" or "religion."

    This would appear to be the comment you're referencing.

    "I was trolling. But now that I think about it, yes men will tend to do better. But black ppl tend to do better in running. So should we ban black ppl from competing against white ppl because of this?"

    And if so then it's fundamentally incorrect to claim this is racism, the subtext is clearly the exact opposite. Should we ban black people from athletic events that, statistically, black people do better at? He's not implying a yes here, but a no.
