That’s what I mean. Of course they would try to get him to resign, but in the end if he refused to do so, it would have been exceedingly difficult if not impossible for them to force him out depending on the percentage of ownership he held. So it was his choice to step down. You should never step down for the “good of the company” when the people in the company who are persuading you to leave are the ones who hate your guts. As can be seen by the statement put out by Tripwire, the new executives clearly have no affection towards Gibson.

Problem being he still had to work there, and he still needed them to work under him. When you are being obstinate and throwing your weight around like that, you basically shatter any chance of the company continuing to function beyond the bare minimum, or worse malicious compliance. Yes he could technically have done so, but it would have likely unraveled the company regardless.
Its really a rock and a hard place. You can't win when those closest to you turn on you like that, as its clear even his closest compatriot threw him out.
