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.
Miles Morales co-creator Sara Pichelli says she does not get any royalties from the ‘Spider-Verse’ films, Insomniac games, or merch

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.

i am going completely insane watching gamers make up shit about horses and interrogating every single thing the devs have said for inconsistencies and then deciding well it probably had cp in it. this is the easy mode version of the kinds of censorship that are to come and you're failing like babies

Horses' only sin is that its broad themes don't entirely pay off its loaded imagery. Otherwise, it's an effectively uncomfortable games that turns life's mundane humiliations into surreal horror. If anything, its bans fill in its thematic gaps for it. My review. www.polygon.com/horses-banne...
