One aspect of this that isn't clear in the OP (mentioned but not 100% clear) is that the twitter person quoted there, Deroir, is a partner of the game, and even has an NPC is the game named after him. Who he is doesn't really change how appropriate or inappropriate the comments are, but it made for really, really bad look to have a dev put him 'on blast', or whatever.
People have already stated this, but he pretty much backed down right away and didn't act entitled or anything at all.
Sad that they had to fire talented people because some "influencer" got their feelings hurt.
