Nexus Mods, a popular mod database, has posted a strong word update about Spider-Man Remastered patch was created to remove the Pride flag in the game. The site’s administrator, Dark0ne, revealed that the mod was uploaded by a stocking puppet named “Mike Hawk.” They said the fact that it was added to the database by a sub-account shows the uploader’s trolling intent and demonstrates their understanding that it will not be allowed to appear on the database. As a result, the site decided to remove the patch from its repository and ban both the user’s main account and the sock puppet.
Spider-Man Remastered was released for PC a few days ago. It’s a refresh of the original title developed by Insomniac Games, since then purchased by Sony Interactiveand was released back in 2019. In the game, you’ll see Pride flags around New York as you swing around the city as Spider-Man, and some players seem offended by the outrage. their presence. The Mike Hawk mod released will replace those Pride flags with the US flag.
Dark0ne wrote in their post: “We are for inclusion, we are for diversity. They vow to do a better job of moderating their website and ensure that their policies are followed more closely in the future. The admin said the site will take action if someone uploads a file with the intention of intentionally going against inclusiveness and/or diversity. Based on how the site deals with this particular issue, it will likely issue future bans if they warrant it. Of course, Dark0ne and their team can only police what is uploaded on Nexus Mods. Still, billed as one of the biggest repositories around, its team’s stance can make an impact and help slow the spread of certain game modifications.
