Coincidentally, the tranny thing and the steam release started happening about the time that Toady One became engaged/married. Also note that Kitfox Games, the publisher for the Steam version, is a completely converged organization. It has people with the middle name "X", it has multiple Chinese employees, and they bragged to Kotaku that all of their employees had the same salary.

The last release before the contamination was 44.07, the march 2018 release, which is the version that I stopped updating the game at.
