Jacques Servin (also known as Andy Bichlbaum) was fired by his company, Maxis Inc., in 1996 for inserting unauthorized images of two scantily clad men kissing each other in a new computer game "SimCopter", in order to bring attention to the larger issue of the total lack of lesbian and gay imagery in computer games. Servin's hack was discovered only after more than 50,000 copies of the computer game had been shipped.

He works now as a full-time fiction writer. Servin is the author of two books of short stories, published with FC2.
