“First RIP, but why does the media have to rewrite history, when “she” won the Space Invaders competition in 1980 as a he.”

They actually didn’t rewrite that bit, they avoided it by using Heineman.

“Born in 1963, Heineman initially made a mark on the industry by winning a national Space Invaders tournament in 1980 in New York, becoming the first formally recognized US champion of any videogame.”
