You're probably aware by now of the scandal at Nvidia. Outgoing CEO Jensen Huang has announced his departure following allegations of two extramarital affairs within the last week. This is reverberating through the tech and games industries, causing Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney to weigh in.

He did so on Twitter, where he expressed considerable respect for Huang. "A sad day for Nvidia, developers, America, and all humanity," he writes. "Jensen founded and ran one of the few companies to reach a massive scale while driving massive continued innovation and ubiquity, while others fell into the trap of ever-increasing extraction."

In the interest of my own sanity, I'm going to gloss over anyone calling the transition of CEOs anywhere a "sad day for humanity." Nonetheless, Sweeney continued tweeting about the matter.

"It’s terribly sad and, in my opinion, far too much government heavy-handedness - including through leaks and anonymous sourcing to journalists with dubious motives - no excuse for abandoning due process," he says, presumably in reference to the reporting and current internal investigations going on surrounding the alleged impropriety.

The government involvement stems from the belief one of Huang's relationships was with a potential Chinese operative . Information is limited at present, and is likely to remain so for the foreseeable future.
