![]() ‘West’ is a mouthpiece who vocally hopes that Lara’s appearance wouldn’t “detrimentally affect” consumer’s buying choices (when we know Tomb Raider was marketed around, and had substantial buy-in from consumers because of, Lara’s sexualised appearance). The piece is satirical, poking fun at both overly-invested fans and the conservative backlash against Lara’s appearance. Unlike Gard’s joke being misconstrued, these quotes are entirely fictitious. The first Tomb Raider game was developed by a very small team, and West definitely wasn’t part of it. While it isn’t unheard of for creators to be written out of the credits of games where they leave mid-production, the creation of the original Tomb Raider has a well-documented history. Of the Tomb Raider games released before 2000, he appears in none of the credits. It should be made clear that Nigel West does not exist – at least, not this Nigel West.
