    Until Ubisoft, normal people didn’t have to worry about their game libraries being ‘updated’ into obscurity.

    Now? If there is an opportunity to attack Ubisoft I take it. Until they die or change course to being pro gamer I will not stop for they have assaulted what I love, gaming, in the name of greed and control.

      How does this relate to the article, or the situation with the streamer? Sure, dunk on Ubisoft, but maybe not about a black historical figure being black.

        Because I want Ubisoft done with I am tired of hearing their cries.

        Yes, if you really wanna go there Ubisoft does deserve shit for putting a black man in a Japanese creed when every other AC game featured historically unknown natives to the lands (main characters, not the overall cast) they were in and having him fuck the empress is incredibly disrespectful to Japan. Not to mention it’s a bit weird and specific that Ubisoft keeps including the fantasy of cucking the king in their games.

        This wouldn’t matter if Ubisoft wasn’t so disrespectful and shitty. Playing Yasuke in a samurai game is an interesting premise but making that an AC game feels wrong and so does letting him fuck the empress. Ubisoft choose to be edgy and disrespectful instead of good and with this game and their reputation is only getting worse.

          This complaint feels manufactured. No one complained about the romance-able historical figures in previous Japanese games, and a quick look at social media and Japanese news shows no outrage. Also, every other game features historically unknown natives? What? We have multiple characters that are children of royalty, at least two that are military warlords, and a Viking raider for fuck’s sake. The only game I can think of that has a native of the region not connected to the powers that be is 3, where you play a Native American. You’re often just playing essentially a secret police for the state of the country you’re in. Why not have a black samurai, a notable historical figure, be the main character. That’s super interesting. It’s not like Japanese culture is being erased. Your outrage feels misplaced and racially motivated, and I doubt we’d be seeing so much manufactured discontent if it was a white samurai (and there were several).

      I’m guessing by “normal people” you exclusively mean white cis dudes.

          So not only are you racist but you’re homophobic.

          Cool.

              I’m neither and you’re slandering me now.

              Your other 2-paragraph comment bitching about the black guy in Japan being somehow disrespectful despite being a real person proved that you are, in fact, racist, bud

                Then why is Yasuke the only AC character I have issue with and not the other popular non white assassins like Altair, Bayek, Aya, or Basim?

                Fuck off creeper.
