Orton's proclivity for insulting women reared its ugly snout once more when he took to Twitter in 2014 to deride a fan's appearance. Orton captioned a photo of himself posing alongside an admirer:

"Look! I met the Latino Ms. Piggy today at the gym!"

Unsurprisingly, the nasty comments quickly went viral.

Orton alleged that the fan pictured had been harassing his girlfriend via messages on the platform, to the extent that she was blocked. If true, Orton's personal animosity would be understandable, but his actions were inexcusable - especially as the public face of a company. Orton was again forced into an apology - one hardly dripping with sincerity:

"I apologise if any of my previous Tweets offended anyone. The answer to bullying isn't more bullying... "

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
