Woof.
Update Update: Panic Art Studios has privated their Twitter account removing the apology from public view. Thankfully Mellow Online kept a copy.
So @panicartstudios have privated their Twitter along with the response Elias gave to the tweets he made yesterday.

Update: Panic Art Studios has released a statement from Elias Viglione through Twitter. It is not so much an apology as a justification for what was said.
As Elias decided to delete his social media accounts, here is his answer to your questions. pic.twitter.com/Q4Q7Vk2kDf

Original Story: Panic Art Studios CEO Elias Viglione has deleted his Twitter account after tweets began circulating of some unsavory comments (pictured below). Viglione’s Twitter account has been deleted but not before screenshots were taken for preservation of the tweets.
This isn’t the first time Viglione has gotten in hot water over his statements. Back in 2018, Viglione drew criticism over comments that women don’t have the interest or the capability of becoming CEOs of game developers. Panic Art Studios has not commented on the story.
Panic Art Studios is the developer of Hero Siege.
The CEO of @panicartstudios just tweeted that he wants to kill immigrants and get rid of all the “n words” in Finland. It’s always fun to check your Twitter feed and see stuff like this 😀 #esports #esportsfi #elämämnkovakolu #suomisuomalaisille pic.twitter.com/IGhGdt95AI
