For fuck's sake, the creator of M.U.L.E was Danielle Bunten. You'd think a site focused on video game history would do the research on this.
Eventually, yes. But it's the same as with Sophie Wilson (designer of ARM processor instruction set, formerly Roger) - is it a historical account, therefore use their name/gender at the time of the event, or a retrospective where their name/current gender overrides that historical fact? Tough call.

It seems to be that the current 'style' for this is to use their name as of now. See the reporting about Chelsea Manning.
Maybe, but it doesn't make the alternative any less "correct". Also, "Dan" is a diminutive of both possible names, so I guess they went for the middle?
