Remember, Ubisoft said they want people to be comfortable with not owning their games. We're just giving them what they want by not buying their games.
Ubisoft is not entitled to our money. If they’re gonna refuse to listen to our criticisms and instead just insult their customers, we’re not going to buy their games.
Man it is crazy, They really dug themselves a hell of a hole with this one. They can't just remove Yasuke without essentially remaking the entire game now, they don't want to waste all the money they put into it thus far either. They are a desperate animal hoping to get us all to stop cornering them. If we refuse to buy this game, or any more of their games, they will either correct course or die. Gonna be interesting to see what they do when it all comes to a head.
@@shortwave737I don't think correcting course will save them.

Ubisoft is a shining example of what happens to a company overrun by activists. Activists can only see the world in two shades. "You either affirm and praise me, or you're the enemy."
My last Ubisoft's game I bough was black flag. (2013) I started to see what they were doing (that was mostly micro transaction and stuff at the time... and the lower quality in general) so I stopped to get their games, even as an Assassin's Creed fan at the time. I was right. I was just not expecting them to go so far. Holy s....

We hired political activists, taught our employees to hate our customers, then had them change our products to cater to people who aren't interested in the product category. Why do we keep failing? Our customers; obviously.
And they are trying to get more gamers to buy their games by pissing them off and alienating them even more 😂 I bet there is a woman behind that decision 😂
Noone of those people care about the company going under. They just go to the next company and get paid five figures for their destructive work. Companies get gaslighted and blackmailed into hiring dei commissars
attacking 99% of your player base just to please that 1% and when the game release only 0,1% of that 1% buying the game and instead of apologize ,double down on attacking the 99% and blame them for the game failure
Perhaps that Tolkien 'expert' should write a book themselves, with a black elf, and get it published and a movie made. You know, be creative rather than rewrite an already published story.
That's the only way they can get people to actually watch or play their DEI shit, rewriting existing stories.. or they would end like Concord and the other DEI shit they try to release.
Keep at it Ubisoft, keep at it. The more you blame people for your incompetence, the more you'll lose. I just don't understand this damn company, like at all.
Gamers: Can we have a game in Japan? DEI: Only if the main character is black Gamers: Can we have a game about war? DEI: Only if the main character is a woman Gamers: …Can we have a game with only aliens? DEI: Only if they’re all gay/lesbian Gamers: I’m not interested… DEI: Then you’re a bigot Gamers: … DEI: … Gamers: *Leaves* DEI: AYO?! WHY DID YOU LEAVE? THIS IS GOOD! WE NEED YOU! COME BACK!
To be honest, they don't give a fuck about us, in fact they hate us, they just want the money in our wallets because they feel entitled to it due to year after year of slop getting bank
To be fair i didnt see them asking anyone to come back, instead they create their own bot bubble telling themselves how good their game is while ubi stock is in free fall. That will save them surely
Having a non-japanese samurao is like having a non-westerm cowboy. Thats just a part of the culture, and if you wanna do it right, you use the people and culture its exclusive to. Nobody shows up for an african samurai in japan, and nobody would show up for an obviously russian or chinese cowboy surrounded by americans.

Exactly, this will be the first AC i havnt bought. Has nothing to do with him being black but has everything to do with him not being Japanese. All emersion would be lost. The way they've gone about it is another red flag. History revision should be damn well illegal. Bye ubislop
I don't need to know who Yasuke is or who he was or whatever. If I play as a character in Feudal Japan, I wanna play as an actual Japanese person. Simple. It is as immersion breaking as playing as a Black Ezio or Black Altair.
It’s not just “obvious what they were going for”. If I remember correctly, they outright said that they chose Yasuke because they were looking for a “non-Japanese Samurai”
Its like Nokia blaming phone user for not buying their phone.. or McDonald blaming eaters for not going to McD. They think gamers HAVE to buy games. Nope, gamers only buy games that they wanted. It is $60 investment, games isn't cheap and they make it easy for gamers to save money.
Everyone is a samurai until its proven their not obviously. That's how nobility and caste systems work. Everyone is on the honor system to admit to being peasants and no one would ever lie about it.
There's actually a yutuber that supports this game and at most a dozen people in his comments section supporting it also. It doesn't take one to realize they're all alt-accounts parroting the same exact comment. And I wouldn't be surprised if it was the DEV CREW that posted those comments themselves. Literally no one likes this game. This is like that Taral Patel case who impersonated people, even a judge, just to further his poltical campaign. It's messed up on another scale.
@@chadgrimwell8380 😂that's like, people selling crap-looking food and smells like one, and then gaslighting you by saying "it doesn't taste like one, trust me~"
@@simonebernacchia5724 Funny thing was a lot of women owned their stocks, and said women are malding at the drop of share prices. You know what Al Bundy said, "Don't try to understand women, women understand women and they hate each other."
Altair was from the middle east, Ezio was from Italy, Bayek was from Egypt, Connor was from America, Alexios and Kassandra were Greek, Jacob and Evie were from the U.K., Edward Kenway was an English pirate. But Yasuke, a game set in Japan, the main character is African. Ask yourself why do you think that is when there is long established pattern of that NOT being how these games are made.
Don't forget that 3 started with Haytham, an English Colonist, and then transitioned into Connor as a Native American, covering both sides of the War of American Independance. And Edward being Welsh, which was one of the largest demographics making up pirates at the time. Shay? Irish, who were a massive immigrant group to the Americas. During the French Revolution who did we play? That's right, Arno, a Frenchman! During the viking invasions of England we played as a viking! And if we look at the Chronicals series we have a Chinese woman, a Russian man, and an Indian man in China, Russia, and India respectively. It's almost like every protagonist up to this point was of the most relevant cultural group to what was being explored, and that Yasuke is not a member of any relevant culture to Japan. If they wanted an "outsider" protagonist for Japan, then they should have chosen one of the few groups that were trading with Japan at the time. But it's not actually about that outsider perspective. It's about racism against the Japanese.
Slight correction, Yusuke wasn't African either. That's why adding hip hop music whenever he shows up is even more hilarious. We don't know his exact origin, but the actual Japanese historians say he was an islander. There's no evidence he had ever seen or visited Africa in his lifetime. So in an attempt to be inclusive they projected rap culture and African hairstyles onto his character just because he was black, without doing the most basic research to realize he had no ties to Africa.
@@Loserstakethebait Yasuke was said to wound up there from Portuguese Empire, no? It made sense of the timeline since at that time, the Portuguese and the Spanish practically infested the region and the Portuguese Empire DID have a good relationship with Japan at the time (Japan had this weird relationship with a lot of western colonizer, like, bro the fck you doing with the Portuguese and, later on, only opening yourself to the Dutch for trade? And let's not forget German and Italy later on cough!). He might be African by blood but he might as well had been brought to P.E as sl4ve? No one knows. P.E did rule the indian oceans and 'The Indies' around this time, he might have been bought from Africa or his parents bought from Africa to work in those colonies. If any, there should be a Spanish guitar accompanying him, that would be closer than hip-hop lmao.
Funny thing is, if they just made a "generic" AC with the proven formula, without being "bold and brave" with a bi sexual black samurai, and humbly listened to their CUSTOMER's feedback, they would have gotten a sure hit that would have give them lots of money. But no, they went full arrogant mentally handicapped and that will cost them dearly.
Yasuke is such a blank that they can pretty much make him whatever they want imo. I still don't think this whole uproar is deserved when we don't know what most of the game even IS. I don't see the "cultural disrespect" when we do not KNOW how the culture is being portrayed, or how much they deviate from history. Plus, alternate history narratives happen ALL THE TIME. AC has done it for ages.
Again, the issues is that they tried pushing Yasuke as a Samurai not as an alternative history thing but as a samurai in the real world Ubisoft is fucked and rightly so, because let's remember DEI is not why a game fails but it's the first sign of a failed game
@@elduro1205 Every other AC main character was from the region the game played in. But now that the game is set in Japan the main character is black, seems pretty racist to me.
As with Concord, we can't stop people who want to play the game from buying it. We can't "make" a game fail. If it fails it's because people didn't like what you were offering.
Not really, because any bot votes wouldn't show up in the third party "restore youtube dislike" database. The real ratio would be more in favor of Ubisoft in that case.
@@torrasque0151 lol so let me guess, you're insinuating that the dislikes are botted and nobody really dislikes the game, it's all just a conspiracy. Oh and apparently youtube dislike has its own personal database somehow.
@@Khalirei All I can say is :facepalm:. Dislike counts have been hidden by youtube for years, and the only way to see an approximation is through the "restore youtube dislike" chrome extension. Those aren't the real numbers and are skewed towards the "anti-woke" cultural side, if you've looked at the backend of a popular video. Only the creator can see the true numbers. And the extension has its own database, yes.
Imagine going to the grocery store and having a marketing guy throw a fit at you because you didn't put an item of his brand into your cart. That's pretty much what's happening with bad games and their developers.

For years, we've had diverse characters. That was never the problem. The problem is these activists keep making diversity propaganda the main platform and then act surprised when no one wants to pay for that. When the PlayStation was on it's first generation, you had options like Burger King's Sneak King (2 million copies sold for $3.99 and a value meal) and Squaresoft's Final Fantasy VII. Sneak King was comically novel, but if you had to pick only one to add to your library, most people would probably pick the seventh "Final" Fantasy.
Hell, all the way since the first metroid game, Samus has been a female. Granted you only found this out by beating the game. And I think had to do something to unlock it.
@@thetiredbiker3652 How would you define forced diversity? What makes it forced? 90% of games based on real historical time periods wouldn't have black people at all, and that ratio gets even worse if you're talking about time periods before around 1,600. And then, since the vast majority of the fantasy genre is based around European or Asian history, they wouldn't 'organically' have black people either. How would you deal with the fact that only having 'organic' diversity would result in no black people being in any setting outside of the modern day, or sci fi?
They couldn't listen because they would have had to do some serious self-reflecting and reject some of their wokeness. That would have been heretical and they would have been banished from the group. Wokeness functions like a purity cult. They cannot change because they cannot admit fault. Either they get ostracised or they lose their will to live when their world-view implodes on them.

It really says a lot about Twitter as a whole when all it takes is for one native person to come out and claim that they're an expert and they all instantly believe that he is objectively correct on the account of his ethnicity.
Tolkien started the Lord of the Rings concept as a self-driven want for the English and British peoples to have their own mythology stories again and as a bed time story for his children. It was meant to be a direct criticism of Great Britain's past as the colonial ploy of mainland Europe. In a world where everyone was complaining about Great Britain spreading western values across the world, he released Lord of the Rings as a subtle reminder that the historical natives of the island were repeatedly conquered and controlled by European powers.
@@Rexhunterj Exactly. He was mad that he didn't have any folk tales of his own homeland to tell his kids, so he deliberately created his own to give to his culture. Elven was created as a self-test of etymology in the form of creating his own language from scratch. The Silmarillion was created in order to give his language a history. The Hobbit was created as a bed time story. Lord of the Rings was created in order to tie everything together as his own cultural gift to Britain.
@@ShaggyRogers1 It's mostly taken from Norse mythology though, even the world elf, and their description as beings off light and everything. And dwarfs too for that matter, he even used Norse runes for the dwarven language. Even his Moriquendi, dark elves, have origins in Norse mythology. So while it's a great story, the most British thing about it is the Hobbits and Wizards which are based on rural British communities and druids respectively, and druids were eventually intertwined with the myth of Merlin which grew much bigger than just the King Arthur story. So it's not like they had no stories of their own, King Arthur predates Lord of the Rings by nearly a thousand years and contains several mythological creatures. Sure, even back then it was mixed with Norse mythology since Vikings had a big influence there back then and had many colonies there, but it's still very much English. As for the druids, not a great deal is known about them since they transmitted their teaching orally so almost everything about them is from second hand sources like Romans. But they did have their whole own mythology, Epona for example is a Celtic Goddess. And Druids where basically the priest, as well as the law makers, executioners, teachers, healers, and the overall highest authority in Celtic traditions. Tolkiens wizards are very much based on them, especially the aesthetic of robes, long beards, and staffs.
Does Ubisoft realize they have to actually EARN our money? It's not just something they're owed or guaranteed from gamers. That's probably why they desperately want to switch to a subscription model to get guaranteed monthly income despite releasing nonstop flops and stinkers.
The woke weirdo ideology and Marxism/socialism/communism go hand in hand. That is where their belief in the forced redistribution of wealth part comes in and that gamers have excess money that should be given to them.
Just a few months ago, I was still a fan of Ubisoft games. Now, with all of these videos and controversies, I'm slowly starting to feel disappointed in them, especially when I see how little certain Ubisoft members care about their customers...

Welcome to the bright side. I had that moment shortly after Trump was elected in the US, made me look into the other side of the story to figure out why they would do that.

And as a centrist that hold many socialist beliefs I find it offensive to be associated with liberals as liberals are free market capitalists in the real world, as opposed to the Animal Farm the US has devolved into.
The last time Ubisoft stock was this low was Feb 2014. That's a decade of lost value. Factor in inflation, its much, much worse. Once AC Shadows fails, they won't be able to raise the capital to make another serious game.
I love that the current media crash has been having such a disasterous effect on these policies, with more and more companies realizing they cannot keep this up and are making VERY important decisions.
I mean it's not like they we're putting that money into the games themselves as of late, so honestly the quality won't exactly change much if they we're to try without the money.
@@Dregomz02 credit is exactly what raising capital means. Or at least, one of the methods of it. They won't be able to leverage stock value anymore and they are too big and too old for VC money. I cannot see a way they can get out of this mess without restructuring the whole company.
What's funny is that they have over 20000 employees worldwide while the company market cap is less than 2 billion USD. For comparison, Nintendo has a cap of 62 billion and only have around 7000 employees. Ubisoft is so bloated and messy, that if they appoint a new CEO for Ubisoft he'll have to fire majority of the staff to correct course.
Ubisoft died the year they fired their OG Montreal team. (For not wanting to change AC and then what rainbow six siege was “meant” to be, a pve siege game not a hero shooter)
I was just confused because for some random reason they decided to use a historical figure as the MC, which has never happened and then claimed that they did the same thing with every other assassins creed which is blatantly untrue. They literally disrespected a country whose whole culture is based on respect by cut and pasting a story that’s been done tons of times in different mediums rather than something original.
Oh, I can make up anything without evidence? What's to stop people from making up a story about Yasuke joining a circus and becoming a clown? There is no evidence to say he wasn't.
In Three Body Problem there is actually a pretty big story line revolving around the anti-science part of early socialism. But to be fair, there are plenty of people on both sides denying science and facts in favor of personal opinion so I don't think it's uniquely socialist, but it probably gets more dangerous when combined with the group think of socialism.
To be honest: This exactly shows why most gamers are dumb and this whole drama has no foundation. You guys are just mad to be mad triggered by clickbait content creators like bots. There are so many different historical figures that have been portrait in media in different ways. Some examples? Jean D'Arc, Robin Hood, Marco Polo, Julius Caesar etc. Do you actually think that every media is accurate? Do you actually think that Julius Caesar fought against Asterix and Obelix? You guys are so dumb in your argumentation that it hurts just to be part of the Anti-DEI movement. Assasins Creed was never a historical accurate media or proclaimed to be authentic. Same like a lot of other media. A good example is "Ragnar Lodbrok" from "Vikings". While it is based on a potential real person science is still not sure if this person ever existed. Imagine he would have been black and all of this would be an issue for guys like you.
Show some respect. Ubisoft is trying their best, and they are actually surprisingly good at it. Their any% bankruptcy speedrun is on another level, and should not be diminished

Sorry, but your comment makes no sense. What exactly is your definition of "wokeness"? "Being woke" actually only means "including all people" (dispite race/skin color/sexuality/gender) - so including people who exist in real life. Nothing more, nothing less. Everything beyond that has nothing to do with actual wokeness. The original term is more than 90 years old and related to black discrimination and inclusion. Gamers, content creators and media call every shit woke nowadays without having any idea what the term actually means. Even a Tomb Raider would be woke in gamers perspective nowadays (e.g. strong female protagonist). Don't get me wrong: I'm absolutely against that agressive DEI movements currently, but I do not think that the agrassive anti-DEI movement is any better with seeing DEI issues in everything or take it as a reason (e.g. Concord did not mainly fail because it had ugly characters; while Deadlock is successfull with ugly characters; typical cherrypicking). All this artificial drama shit coming from the U.S. is more than annoying. Can't wait for WW III so there is another topic going on.
God what happened to my.gaming industry that I grew up with. Splinter Cell, Gears of War, Halo. Where did we go wrong? Perhaps we should've gate kept more and not been so inclusive and diverse while letting these people in.

But, but, think of the diversity we gained?!
attacking 99% of your player base just to please that 1%
and when the game release only 0,1% of that 1% buying the game
and instead of apologize ,double down on attacking the 99% and blame them for the game failure
"If you don't like it, don't buy it" yeah.. sounds good to me.
No, why arent you buying our games, its all your fault
Perhaps that Tolkien 'expert' should write a book themselves, with a black elf, and get it published and a movie made. You know, be creative rather than rewrite an already published story.
That's the only way they can get people to actually watch or play their DEI shit, rewriting existing stories.. or they would end like Concord and the other DEI shit they try to release.

I'm not sure when developers decided that "subverting expectations" was a better goal than simply "meeting expectations".

Having a non-japanese samurao is like having a non-westerm cowboy.
Thats just a part of the culture, and if you wanna do it right, you use the people and culture its exclusive to.
Nobody shows up for an african samurai in japan, and nobody would show up for an obviously russian or chinese cowboy surrounded by americans.

There's actually a yutuber that supports this game and at most a dozen people in his comments section supporting it also.

They blame gamers for not supporting their game after telling the gamers they do not care about them.
Weird, Weird.
Altair was from the middle east, Ezio was from Italy, Bayek was from Egypt, Connor was from America, Alexios and Kassandra were Greek, Jacob and Evie were from the U.K., Edward Kenway was an English pirate.
But Yasuke, a game set in Japan, the main character is African.
Ask yourself why do you think that is when there is long established pattern of that NOT being how these games are made.
Also all those characters are completely fictional, kind of odd Yasuke gets to be the first to break that pattern.
Don't forget that 3 started with Haytham, an English Colonist, and then transitioned into Connor as a Native American, covering both sides of the War of American Independance. And Edward being Welsh, which was one of the largest demographics making up pirates at the time. Shay? Irish, who were a massive immigrant group to the Americas. During the French Revolution who did we play? That's right, Arno, a Frenchman! During the viking invasions of England we played as a viking! And if we look at the Chronicals series we have a Chinese woman, a Russian man, and an Indian man in China, Russia, and India respectively. It's almost like every protagonist up to this point was of the most relevant cultural group to what was being explored, and that Yasuke is not a member of any relevant culture to Japan. If they wanted an "outsider" protagonist for Japan, then they should have chosen one of the few groups that were trading with Japan at the time.
But it's not actually about that outsider perspective. It's about racism against the Japanese.
Because when it comes to Asian men, their diversity initiatives apparently don’t matter anymore.
Slight correction, Yusuke wasn't African either. That's why adding hip hop music whenever he shows up is even more hilarious. We don't know his exact origin, but the actual Japanese historians say he was an islander. There's no evidence he had ever seen or visited Africa in his lifetime. So in an attempt to be inclusive they projected rap culture and African hairstyles onto his character just because he was black, without doing the most basic research to realize he had no ties to Africa.
@@Loserstakethebait Yasuke was said to wound up there from Portuguese Empire, no? It made sense of the timeline since at that time, the Portuguese and the Spanish practically infested the region and the Portuguese Empire DID have a good relationship with Japan at the time (Japan had this weird relationship with a lot of western colonizer, like, bro the fck you doing with the Portuguese and, later on, only opening yourself to the Dutch for trade? And let's not forget German and Italy later on cough!). He might be African by blood but he might as well had been brought to P.E as sl4ve? No one knows. P.E did rule the indian oceans and 'The Indies' around this time, he might have been bought from Africa or his parents bought from Africa to work in those colonies. If any, there should be a Spanish guitar accompanying him, that would be closer than hip-hop lmao.
AAA studios will do anything but take accountability for their inability to produce good games
Who else never takes accountability for their actions?
Oh right, feminists!
Studio full of women, doest take accountability, checks out
Funny thing is, if they just made a "generic" AC with the proven formula, without being "bold and brave" with a bi sexual black samurai, and humbly listened to their CUSTOMER's feedback, they would have gotten a sure hit that would have give them lots of money.
But no, they went full arrogant mentally handicapped and that will cost them dearly.
Yasuke is such a blank that they can pretty much make him whatever they want imo. I still don't think this whole uproar is deserved when we don't know what most of the game even IS. I don't see the "cultural disrespect" when we do not KNOW how the culture is being portrayed, or how much they deviate from history. Plus, alternate history narratives happen ALL THE TIME. AC has done it for ages.
Again, the issues is that they tried pushing Yasuke as a Samurai not as an alternative history thing but as a samurai in the real world
Ubisoft is fucked and rightly so, because let's remember DEI is not why a game fails but it's the first sign of a failed game
@@elduro1205 Every other AC main character was from the region the game played in. But now that the game is set in Japan the main character is black, seems pretty racist to me.
Wait yasuke is bi in the ac shadows? Isnt he like christian missionary or smth?
@@rotunel7677 I think he was a slave or servant of some missionaries.
Propping up yasuke as an actual samurai is like saying Elton John is a Templar. Just because Elton was Knighted doesn’t mean he has fighting skills.
Prime example of cultural appropriation
As with Concord, we can't stop people who want to play the game from buying it. We can't "make" a game fail. If it fails it's because people didn't like what you were offering.
Ubisoft's like/dislike ratio is even worse, in reality because they botted a lot of those likes.
Not really, because any bot votes wouldn't show up in the third party "restore youtube dislike" database. The real ratio would be more in favor of Ubisoft in that case.
@@torrasque0151 lol so let me guess, you're insinuating that the dislikes are botted and nobody really dislikes the game, it's all just a conspiracy. Oh and apparently youtube dislike has its own personal database somehow.
@@Khalirei All I can say is :facepalm:. Dislike counts have been hidden by youtube for years, and the only way to see an approximation is through the "restore youtube dislike" chrome extension. Those aren't the real numbers and are skewed towards the "anti-woke" cultural side, if you've looked at the backend of a popular video. Only the creator can see the true numbers. And the extension has its own database, yes.
Imagine going to the grocery store and having a marketing guy throw a fit at you because you didn't put an item of his brand into your cart.
That's pretty much what's happening with bad games and their developers.
Ain't no way they are acting like they didn't plagiarize everything and being bit racist
The trailer had so many issues with clipping, asset placement, weather effects on armor/clothing being consistent, so many issues. Shit game if this was the best they had to show us for a trailer, they have no right to be mad
For years, we've had diverse characters. That was never the problem. The problem is these activists keep making diversity propaganda the main platform and then act surprised when no one wants to pay for that.
When the PlayStation was on it's first generation, you had options like Burger King's Sneak King (2 million copies sold for $3.99 and a value meal) and Squaresoft's Final Fantasy VII. Sneak King was comically novel, but if you had to pick only one to add to your library, most people would probably pick the seventh "Final" Fantasy.
basically DEI isn't diversity, it's a poorly made facsimile in its image.
You cannot FORCE diversity. It only counts when it happens organically. Forced diversity is what we are railing against.
Hell, all the way since the first metroid game, Samus has been a female. Granted you only found this out by beating the game. And I think had to do something to unlock it.
they make the "game" just diversity and forget to include the actual game part
@@thetiredbiker3652 How would you define forced diversity? What makes it forced?
90% of games based on real historical time periods wouldn't have black people at all, and that ratio gets even worse if you're talking about time periods before around 1,600.
And then, since the vast majority of the fantasy genre is based around European or Asian history, they wouldn't 'organically' have black people either.
How would you deal with the fact that only having 'organic' diversity would result in no black people being in any setting outside of the modern day, or sci fi?
We all warned them and they didn't listen.
I TOLD YOU I WOULDNT BUY AND YOU DIDNT BELIEVE ME! WHY DIDNT YOU BELIEVE ME?
Now boys and girls, let’s try it again
They couldn't listen because they would have had to do some serious self-reflecting and reject some of their wokeness. That would have been heretical and they would have been banished from the group.

Tolkien started the Lord of the Rings concept as a self-driven want for the English and British peoples to have their own mythology stories again and as a bed time story for his children. It was meant to be a direct criticism of Great Britain's past as the colonial ploy of mainland Europe. In a world where everyone was complaining about Great Britain spreading western values across the world, he released Lord of the Rings as a subtle reminder that the historical natives of the island were repeatedly conquered and controlled by European powers.
And it was a more serious take on the setting he created in The Hobbit, which was a story he wrote for his kids.
@@Rexhunterj Exactly. He was mad that he didn't have any folk tales of his own homeland to tell his kids, so he deliberately created his own to give to his culture.
Elven was created as a self-test of etymology in the form of creating his own language from scratch. The Silmarillion was created in order to give his language a history. The Hobbit was created as a bed time story. Lord of the Rings was created in order to tie everything together as his own cultural gift to Britain.
@@ShaggyRogers1 It's mostly taken from Norse mythology though, even the world elf, and their description as beings off light and everything. And dwarfs too for that matter, he even used Norse runes for the dwarven language. Even his Moriquendi, dark elves, have origins in Norse mythology. So while it's a great story, the most British thing about it is the Hobbits and Wizards which are based on rural British communities and druids respectively, and druids were eventually intertwined with the myth of Merlin which grew much bigger than just the King Arthur story. So it's not like they had no stories of their own, King Arthur predates Lord of the Rings by nearly a thousand years and contains several mythological creatures. Sure, even back then it was mixed with Norse mythology since Vikings had a big influence there back then and had many colonies there, but it's still very much English. As for the druids, not a great deal is known about them since they transmitted their teaching orally so almost everything about them is from second hand sources like Romans. But they did have their whole own mythology, Epona for example is a Celtic Goddess. And Druids where basically the priest, as well as the law makers, executioners, teachers, healers, and the overall highest authority in Celtic traditions. Tolkiens wizards are very much based on them, especially the aesthetic of robes, long beards, and staffs.
Does Ubisoft realize they have to actually EARN our money? It's not just something they're owed or guaranteed from gamers.
That's probably why they desperately want to switch to a subscription model to get guaranteed monthly income despite releasing nonstop flops and stinkers.
If they actually realize that, they would have upgrade the game since Unity, not all of this down to the hole.
The woke weirdo ideology and Marxism/socialism/communism go hand in hand. That is where their belief in the forced redistribution of wealth part comes in and that gamers have excess money that should be given to them.

Welcome to the bright side. I had that moment shortly after Trump was elected in the US, made me look into the other side of the story to figure out why they would do that. And so I learned about crazy US "liberals" can be. I put liberal in quotation marks here because a lot of them seem to be version of socialist which is anti liberal. And as a centrist that hold many socialist beliefs I find it offensive to be associated with liberals as liberals are free market capitalists in the real world, as opposed to the Animal Farm the US has devolved into.
Props to the shareholders for investing on a genre that they don't give a fuck about.
The last time Ubisoft stock was this low was Feb 2014. That's a decade of lost value. Factor in inflation, its much, much worse.
Once AC Shadows fails, they won't be able to raise the capital to make another serious game.
I love that the current media crash has been having such a disasterous effect on these policies, with more and more companies realizing they cannot keep this up and are making VERY important decisions.
I mean it's not like they we're putting that money into the games themselves as of late, so honestly the quality won't exactly change much if they we're to try without the money.
They were made on a credit anyway. They had debt of 2 billion usd since 2020 they are going to die at this rate.
@@Dregomz02 credit is exactly what raising capital means. Or at least, one of the methods of it. They won't be able to leverage stock value anymore and they are too big and too old for VC money.
I cannot see a way they can get out of this mess without restructuring the whole company.
What's funny is that they have over 20000 employees worldwide while the company market cap is less than 2 billion USD.
For comparison, Nintendo has a cap of 62 billion and only have around 7000 employees. Ubisoft is so bloated and messy, that if they appoint a new CEO for Ubisoft he'll have to fire majority of the staff to correct course.
Ubisoft died the year they fired their OG Montreal team. (For not wanting to change AC and then what rainbow six siege was “meant” to be, a pve siege game not a hero shooter)
Imagine McDonald blame diners of their burgers 😂😂😂. Great move Ubisoft
"Jump on them like the secret service" 😂😂😂😂 the secret service can't even do that.
Ubisoft should be happy going bankrupt as we are happy not owning their garbage.
Good.
Now it’s up to strike and steal the IP Licenses from Ubisoft so they’ll no longer make games anymore.
Do they seriously not realize that gamers are their LIFE BLOOD?!
I was just confused because for some random reason they decided to use a historical figure as the MC, which has never happened and then claimed that they did the same thing with every other assassins creed which is blatantly untrue. They literally disrespected a country whose whole culture is based on respect by cut and pasting a story that’s been done tons of times in different mediums rather than something original.
Oh, I can make up anything without evidence? What's to stop people from making up a story about Yasuke joining a circus and becoming a clown? There is no evidence to say he wasn't.
In Three Body Problem there is actually a pretty big story line revolving around the anti-science part of early socialism. But to be fair, there are plenty of people on both sides denying science and facts in favor of personal opinion so I don't think it's uniquely socialist, but it probably gets more dangerous when combined with the group think of socialism.
To be honest: This exactly shows why most gamers are dumb and this whole drama has no foundation. You guys are just mad to be mad triggered by clickbait content creators like bots. There are so many different historical figures that have been portrait in media in different ways. Some examples? Jean D'Arc, Robin Hood, Marco Polo, Julius Caesar etc. Do you actually think that every media is accurate? Do you actually think that Julius Caesar fought against Asterix and Obelix? You guys are so dumb in your argumentation that it hurts just to be part of the Anti-DEI movement. Assasins Creed was never a historical accurate media or proclaimed to be authentic. Same like a lot of other media. A good example is "Ragnar Lodbrok" from "Vikings". While it is based on a potential real person science is still not sure if this person ever existed. Imagine he would have been black and all of this would be an issue for guys like you.
Show some respect. Ubisoft is trying their best, and they are actually surprisingly good at it.
Their any% bankruptcy speedrun is on another level, and should not be diminished
It is our "fault." We chose to not play/buy/support it. But Ubisoft has forgotten the customer is always right.
Too bad they chose their customers poorly
@@emdo.unlimited555 They chose the non-existent modern gamers.
Anyone else just tired of waiting for this company to shut down already ? It could happen any day now they gotta speed things up man come on.
They are way too big to die quickly-
I've been waiting since the 1990s for EA to die. It hasn't yet, it simply figured out how best to let shit blow over before it tries again, these other companies triple, quadruple and quintuple down on it, then wonder why they are failing.
@@darkmantlestudios I'm all for pulling the rug.
I don't understand..
Why they attacking their own costumers?
It's like suicide!!
In alternative timeline, KCD and KCD 2 have black character as main character
It's called Star Wars Outlaw because its low quality is a crime.
What is specifically bad about it? I legitimately didn't see any gameplay of it. Did you play it?
@@2yoyoyo1Unplugged It's so poorly programmed, it's hilarious. Also you can just run to the goal in most stealth missions.
Isn't it absolutely fascinating how western creators of ALL types of media in recent years behave absolutely exactly the same, as if they are same people? it's like they have same program, same software in their tiny digital brains...
Hmmm. I wonder what group owns most of these media companies?
Almost all of them are owned by six companies or Media Groups
@@elduro1205 and those, by one tribe. It's hardly just an issue in media or gaming either... pick any major issue in the west, follow it back far enough... all roads lead to pizzrayel and that group.
@@larion2336 I say 10 more years, 10 more years of generational decline, because it's all recorded. :/
Of course they’ll blame the customers before taking responsibility themselves
I can't believe they are still trying to Parrot this grift.
They're doing what they know, and what's worked until now
Imagine you go to another Grocery Store and your old one blames you for the losses.
Whatever they say, day of truth will come inevitably when sales start.
I love how they call it "woke" when it’s just, you know, including people who exist in real life
@@JustinkFleming756 really? You believe that African-Americans existed “in real life” in Feudal Japan?
That is a vibrant and creative fantasy world you inhabit, my friend.
Black samurais didn't exist in real life.... it's woke because they're ignoring history, to fit their race baiting agenda.
Black samurais didn't exist in real life. Changing history to fit an agenda is why it's woke.
Sorry, but your comment makes no sense. What exactly is your definition of "wokeness"? "Being woke" actually only means "including all people" (dispite race/skin color/sexuality/gender) - so including people who exist in real life. Nothing more, nothing less. Everything beyond that has nothing to do with actual wokeness. The original term is more than 90 years old and related to black discrimination and inclusion. Gamers, content creators and media call every shit woke nowadays without having any idea what the term actually means. Even a Tomb Raider would be woke in gamers perspective nowadays (e.g. strong female protagonist). Don't get me wrong: I'm absolutely against that agressive DEI movements currently, but I do not think that the agrassive anti-DEI movement is any better with seeing DEI issues in everything or take it as a reason (e.g. Concord did not mainly fail because it had ugly characters; while Deadlock is successfull with ugly characters; typical cherrypicking). All this artificial drama shit coming from the U.S. is more than annoying. Can't wait for WW III so there is another topic going on.
Damn, bots are coming strong
Can't spell Ubisoft without "soft" ...
Ouch.
So Fromsoft is soft, are they? XD
@@Leavinsies Yeah they are. If they had balls they would've made a controller that drains my blood everytime I died.
It can't be spelled without vagina
@@Leavinsies Fromsoft does have Body Type 1 and Body Type 2 😂 but atleast they back it up with gameplay and world building taht goes "hard".
Ubisoft: "Have you lost your mind?"
Gamers: "No. You lost your balls!"
So can a company be sued for claiming advertisement revenue that's mostly self created bots?🤔
In fact yes, they can.
The pride these people have for their sins and failings is infecting the gaming industry like a cancer.
1:06 they only have one bullet left in the chamber unfortunately they're playing russian roulette
With a semi automatic pistol
God what happened to my.gaming industry that I grew up with. Splinter Cell, Gears of War, Halo. Where did we go wrong? Perhaps we should've gate kept more and not been so inclusive and diverse while letting these people in.
Anita Sarkesian That is the lynch pin that started this shit.
A little something called feminism which you should have dropped.
@@ShadowBaofu I'm all for feminism but this isn't even feminism anymore. This is just straight up superiority complex now.
It was already happening back then.
@@rahat2345 Amen to that.
“It’s your fault that no one wants to buy the super mega deluxe edition of a game that probably insults Japanese culture and history!!!”
Sure.

🐍 no step on snek!🇭🇰🇺🇸
Why are people already piling on at just "probably" though? What if the assumptions here are wrong?
this is where phrase "the customer is always right" is applied.
it doesnt mean that the market can do whatever they want like karens
it means you create your product based on what the costumer needs
So many companies forgot about it.
Their job is to make products we want.
Not doing politic message or fighting for equality and stuff.
especially when you use the full version "The customer is always right in matters of taste"
@@bobbobber4810 mainstream, yes.
Niche, nope.
Bentley and Rolls-Royce are two exemples.
Their cars are very niche, they barely sell 50 units a month, you can put options to make it unique and different from the few others that are sold.
BMW, Mercedes and Audi cannot do that as even their flagship ( A8, Series 7/i7, S class ) are not on par with a Bentley Flying Spur hybrid or a Rolls-Royce Phantom, they are the mainstream side of the Luxury sedan market, you will see a BMW series 7 more often than a Bentley Flying Spur hybrid or a Rolls-Royce Phantom.
The most racist part is that they ignored the real single black samurai who sadly passed away around 30 years ago (we even got photos of him) who was given the samurai title after a life of training and working making high quality katanas and helping a lot of people during bad times
There isn't a black samurai. That's just propaganda made to make the case of yasuke
Homie Im sorry... Thats ai shi they tried to drop on normies.
@@RobzdaBlade my man, ai didn't exited at that time and I saw it on a book like 15 years ago
Imagine if this was a restaurant and the restaurant owner blames customers for its failed food menus.
