Not a game creator, but the same issue: I think I would find it just about impossible to disregard the fact that Roman Polanski is a child rapist, and has been a fugitive from justice for 40 years. There's a lot of art in the world. As such, I see no reason to specifically engage with the works of Roman Polanski, when I could easily watch, support, and discuss the works of artists who haven't evaded justice for heinous crimes.
A lot of art that was produced in the past was produced by awful people. I think you can make that separation between art and artist for the dead (though never fully), but I don't think you really can for the living.
