Nikita's response has been shit. "I didn't say that!" Someone on the team important enough to be showing the whole game off at Gamescon said it. That's....better? The Battlestate Games response is a better apology than much of what Nikita has offered.
Okay? They still say the employee was not in a key position - likely only marketing, if he was at Gamescom - and was disciplined. There is no reason to keep dragging up 4 year old drama that they've already dealt with internally.
