Legendary my ass - nothing but ports. If he was still a he this would get no mention at all.

But because he became a she along with his “wife” who also has a trumped up and embellished history on his wiki, we wouldn’t hear a peep.

Thank you. Everybody on gaming discords was suddenly going on about this person like they did when Akira Toriyama died and i was afraid to ask why this person so was important because I felt like “trans” said it all.

I’ve never heard of this person until today.

His wiki page is flowery and gilded and he even gets separately noted on the interplay wiki for… coding a port. While 2 of the other 3 cofounders don’t even get a mention.

It seems to me his only true notoriety is that he was big in the tranny field.
