While the aforementioned fan petition can likely be disregarded as most AAA games' sales fall in the millions,
What a nonsense statement. Modern mega-budget AAA games have to sell 10+ million copies to even break even now, selling millions is not good enough.
Thank you for your attention to this matter!

The one who wrote that article also seems unaware that all those signed petitions are people who aren't buying the game, which will obviously subtract from the "sales that fall in the millions". lol

That's also tens of thousands of people that will tell their family, friends and acquaintances not to buy the game either.

To say nothing of the noise they'll be making online, which will further hurt the game's reception.

And that's all ignoring the simple fact that outside the West the vast majority of ethnicities hate ******* with a burning passion.

It will be the worst selling AssCreed in a while, you'll know this when they start promoting stuff like "most pre-ordered game on Amazon", "most downloads on the ubisoft store", etc, but nothing specific, just like Starfield. Not like it matters anyway, Canadian government already paid for the game.

Even Screenslant is getting nervous? Oh boy, this should be interesting. If the japanese government tells Ubishit to get ****** maybe then can get some actual japanese historians to tell them off too? I would love to see the bitching and moaning on Wikipedia as their historical revisionism gets erased.

When they marketed their previous Assassin's Creed game as historically accurate with a "museum mode" it set them up for this beating. Whatever objections they were going to encounter went through the roof after that.

It's not even about historical accuracy, people can tell when something is done out of malice.

This story is wild.
Turns out that a white guy at a Japanese university wrote a paper on the real historical figure Yasuke the Portuguese Jesuit slave, then figured he could profit off of a book about a mythical **** "samurai".
He was secretly, slowly rewriting Wikipedia using an alt, then using that to write that book, then re-editing it more to go further than the book.
It has all been exposed and he went into hiding.
Nihon university is likely going to terminate him and retract/disavow everything he made up (which is everything except a few details) and the Japanese parliament (the Diet) is now taking an interest.

AND THE FOOLS AT UBISOFT ARE CALLING JAPANESE THAT SPEAK OUT ABOUT IT RACIST BIGOTS!!!

LOLOLOLOL

But, of course, few on the left will ever learn this.
Because the media is ignoring the truth and maintaining the lies.
Just as with Kyle Rittenhouse, who the media deliberately lied about who he shot and why (they were all peaceful black dindonuffins that he viciously, racistly attacked for no reason) to the point where many people still don't know he shot white criminals attacking him, one with an illegal pistol.

Imagine spending $200million to make a game and finding out the source you were using to make it was just fabricating everything lmao

The sword they claimed niggersake used is actually stolen from some anime.

I can probably predict how this happened, and the sheer idiocy at play is breathtaking.

The cretins likely googled something along the lines of "Oda katana" and ended up with a picture of a katana from the manga One Piece by Eiichiro Oda, instead of a katana used by Oda Nobunaga, and without even bothering to doublecheck slapped that into the game. And this despite Ubisoft kvetching their game was historically accurate.

Just further proof that leftists are not humans.

This is something I just don't get about this.

They bragged about their historical accuracy. Constantly! Why the **** would you undermine one of your own selling points to please SJWs and DEI idiots? Why pick a person you know little about as your ******* protagonist?

I mean I know why they picked the only black guy, they wanted to pander to city bound screeching monkeys with an inferiority complex. And their majority white enablers.

Still, what a shitshow. How did no one raise their hand and say "Maybe we should pick someone easier to research"?

All of this could have been avoided if they had made Yasuke an NPC quest giver like they did with literally every historical person in all of their titles, but their addiction for black **** is too strong.

Not sure this was posted already with all the "Yasuke made up by some **** on wiki" discussion going on but:

Apparently they plagiarized a re-enactment group's flag design thinking it was a historically accurate one.
Ubisoft Japan apologized and said they removed it from the game - but they are still gonna ship the copyrighted images in their Collectors Edition DLC (cause the books are already printed)

The group they stole the flag from is ****** and likely planning to pursue legal action.

https://automaton-media.com/en/news/ubi ... n-artbook/


TL;DR - Ubisoft developers were getting all their historical iconography and facts from wiki articles and google images.. This entire game has zero historical value and is pure larp fantasy founded on lies just to pander "black man killing people with japan ping pong rap music playing"

This game looks like it was made by a weird weebo teenager who just picked random things from "Japan" on Google Images, this is so hilariously bad

According to Ubisoft 1st quarter report Ubisoft is actually doing well. And the amount of prepurchases of this **** is greater than expected.

I have to apologize to the Anglos in this community - for once you are not to blame.

Turns out Thomas Lockley, the disgraced historian, is actually a Jew. Go to the 47:00 minute mark.



They sure can't manage to avoid the stereotype - gentile-sounding surname, academic, distorting history to glorify ******* and shove them where they don't belong.

You don't hate these vermin nearly enough.
