== Controversies ==
On June 10, 2021, Cawthon's political donations were leaked on Twitter, showcasing donations to certain political candidates including Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell. Scott would later confirm these leaks, and establish how his religious beliefs influence his political positions, including being pro-life and pro-military intervention. He would later announce his retirement from game development and directing after a dox attack, and multiple threats of violence. As of late, Cawthon has become a controversial figure among the Five Nights at Freddy's community.
Sly did not take these news lightly as he has been a vocal critic of Trump, and expressed his pro-choice and anti-military beliefs in the Sly Army Podcast. He further distanced himself from the Five Nights at Freddy's series more than he already did before for seven months until after the release of Security Breach, but condemned the doxxing and threats of violence made towards Scott. To this day, Sly doubles down on how he feels about Scott, but has regained his appreciation for the survival horror series despite the creator's beliefs.
