One of my professors was the designers of the Scarlet Spider.
When the video games offered that costume option, my professor was never informed, despite being owed royalties. He had to chase Marvel down.
He died the same year Scarlet Spider was in Spider-Verse. They had to crowdfund his funeral.

Kudos for these women for standing up and doing the right thing but they're trying to ban trans women from e-sports now? Absolutely ridiculous.

While we can see the success that Horses is having, after chatting with the developer, it still may not be enough to save the studio.
