I'll add that once on a stream he showed one passahal (easter egg) in his game and said that there are a lot of them and the game is very variable, yes, so much so that some of its secrets are unlikely to be discovered, and that's why the development of the game takes so many years.
It's also worth saying why the reaction to his mistake was so strong - he had an impeccable, like a clean sheet, reputation: he formed a corporation to supposedly pay his modders a salary, because he thought it was wrong to use their labor for free; he became for many people a mentor, a counselor, a mental support, a person to whom you can turn for advice and a kind word.
In general, if an ordinary man sins, no one will care, but if a saint sins, he will be trampled on, pounded and watched on a hill for his execution and it no longer matters whether he is really guilty or has been talked down - he will be brought down, because if everyone is brought down, no one is brought down.
Sacrifice his reputation. Moral - don't show that you are better than others, even if you really are.
