Does anyone know of any specific examples of people who got fired from their jobs (especially in the gaming industry) because some nutjob Twitter user went through their internet history and found that they posted something that goes against the liberal cult, possibly years prior? Things like if they said they voted Trump, didn't support trans people, etc. Bonus points if their employer made a public apology for hiring that person.

Not in gaming, but a good example nonetheless: Brendan Eich. $1k to Prop 8 in CA years prior, get fired from the Mozilla board as a direct result.
There are hundreds of other examples, of nobodies running afowl of scream mobs, but their names aren't remembered. As an example, most of the people who went on the Tiki torch march in Charloettsville were fired, the left made it a point to crowd source names to faces and went on a rampage to get them all fired. No one cared, no one remembered their names.
