Controversy section not implemented edit

Below is the controversy section (it can also be found in source editor on the article itself). I don't currently have the energy and passion to translate the quote that is in French. The sources are also provided (quite a bit so choose which would work), and if anyone wants to translate it please do so (and expand on it please! :))) StaringAtTheStars✉Talk 20:36, 22 March 2019 (UTC)Reply


Controversy
On 3 July 2012, in the "Summer Special" issue of that year, Kévin Bitterlin, a former journalist for Joystick, wrote in a review for the 2013 Tomb Raider game "Faire subir de tels supplices à l’une des figures les plus emblématiques du jeu vidéo, c’est tout simplement génial. Et si j’osais, je dirais même que c’est assez excitant." Many outraged reactions launched a debate on sexism in video games in France. [1][2][3][4][5]

Related to the US publication? edit

Is this connected to Joystick magazine that was in circulation in the early to mid 80s in the US? THX1136 (talk) 01:08, 16 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

Just answered my own question by looking at the issues I have. It's spelled differently - JoyStik and not related other than general subject matter.THX1136 (talk) 16:23, 17 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
