A -created game modification — or mod — designed to replace in-game pride flags from the recently-released PC port of Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered, was reportedlt taken down by NexusMods and ModDB, two of the biggest online sites for PC game mods. Both sites have confirmed that the 'troll' mod, which was ed from a new , had been removed.

According to a Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered was ed to its site by a brand-new with no modding history, which the site's s suspect is a secondary for one of the site's s, or a 'sock puppet' .

The mod replaced the pride flags found around New York City with the US flag on Marvel's Spider Man Remastered. Along with removing the mod, both "the sock puppet and the 's main " have been banned by NexusMods.

"It was very clearly done deliberately to be a troll mod. The fact the needed to make a sock puppet like a coward to the mod showed their intent to troll and that they knew it would not be allowed," NexusMods stated.

"Had they not been a coward and had they used their main instead, we would have simply removed the mod and told them that we did not want to host it, only banning them if they re-ed it again after being fairly warned. The creation of the sock puppet removed any doubt and made it a very easy decision for us," they added.

ModDB, which hosts mods for PC games like NexusMods, also announced via a tweet that it had removed the mod. "ModDB is an inclusive environment for all and we do not permit targeting marginalized groups. Our content moderation is largely automated but when identified, we have a zero-tolerance policy for this kind of content," the website said in the tweet.
