One of my favorite video games was created by someone who later transed out.

M.U.L.E. on Commodore 64, from lead programmer Dan Bunten, later Danielle (Dani) Bunten. The game can likely never be re-released in its unaltered form because Bunten's birth name is on the title screen.

Bunten was a chain-smoker, and died in the 1990s of lung cancer.

One wonders how much he regretted his decisions.

Granted, video games--even capitalism simulators--aren't exactly important to keep the cogs of society turning. But someone was going to say it, especially since one of the game's biggest fans was a young man named Will Wright, who would be inspired to make SimCity and all the other Sim games, including of course, The Sims.
