Some delving shows that Penders is only partly to blame contrary to what most uninformed people think. Penders, due to his creation fo some characters (with questionable ones looking very similar to the source material *COUGH* ECHIDNA RECOLORS*COUGH*), he deserves his moral and legal right of ownership, thing is, he didn't have to act like d*** about it. Then we get to Archie and Sega for not taking Penders seriously, being too controlling and not paying him enough or crediting him after he left.

After some research I found out that a previous Archie Staff, Scott Shaw! Also went through a similar legal predicament, but I think things got sorted out quietly between him and everyone, which is why very little people heard about it. Unlike Penders of course, who is as subtle as an ice-cream truck.
