You cannot, however, purchase a game (or otherwise consume or promote the media) without funding whatever the author chooses to do with their income.

And what would you do about it? Restrict what a person can spend their income on? If you don't approve of what a person does you are free to not buy the game; but seeking ideological purity will result in you finding every game developer 'unacceptable' eventually. I disapprove of China and refuse to buy games I know have a link to the CCP but I would never even consider for a second saying they should stop making games. If you dislike what he does with the money you're free to not buy the games; but the people harassing him to the point where he quit... Unacceptable. Plain and simple.

At this point, I don't even know of anything within the franchise that was coming down the pipes that has been scuttled by this decision to retire, let alone anything that gaming as a whole is truly worse off for not having. The market is huge: any void left will be filled so instantly that nobody will even notice.

It's unlikely the company will let the franchise die simply because the creator is gone. FNAF will likely see a similar outcome to what happened to the Sims after EA bought them or Metal Gear. That is to say they'll likely churn out a bunch of schlocky corporate-mandated sequels to milk the fanbase and, if the franchise is lucky, it will either have such a bombastic failing or a slow withering death and be left inert. If it's unlucky you can expect them to try and scrub the past away then release a 'new and LGBT friendly' version that will be utterly devoid of anything of substinance and feel like it was made by a chart as they slap whatever new stuff on literally everything they can in a fit of mass-market spending.
