Yes. As an American I can’t help but think of how difficult and expensive the war on terror was to wage and how not only did we lose but we may have inadvertently help start a global jihad in the future we pissed off the Iranians so bad.

Not to mention how Germany failed to get the UK in WW2 and how without the literal mafia we’d have not taken Sicily and gained a solid foothold in Europe. Even China is hesitant to invade Taiwan and they wrote the fucking art of war.

I think a lot of tyrants like the idea of invasion until they realize how fucking expensive it is to move war equipment across water and that unless you have the actual Mandate of heaven and earth behind you so to speak, you won’t have competent people with you. Trump doesn’t have that, he didn’t win the popular vote or by a large margin which is what the mandate requires, half his voters hate Musk, and he’s driving away more smart people than attracting. Doesn’t matter how effective and coercive your spy network is, takes hearts and minds to win long term.

Yeah. A lot of folks I’ve met view it as fiscally conservative though.

Is it by magical means? Then name calling, mostly to watch Trump deal with it.

I’ve heard it more the exact opposite way. “I vote Democrat but I am really tired liberals doing nothing to curb government corruption or tax the rich more.”

Fair but if they did a random Japanese samurai and not Yasuke this would’ve gone over a lot better for them. This aside, until Ubisoft expresses gamers should own games I won’t buy or play any Ubisoft titles on principle and I don’t think anyone else should either. That the people who’d play this anyway and defend Ubisoft are just supporting a company whose death would benefit all gamers.

Then why Yasuke and not Musashi or someone who was more interesting and significant to Japanese history? They couldn’t have chosen a more DEI Samurai.

That said, putting it that way does feel more racist than I like even though it’s a funny way to put it.

Technically you have a kidnapping not a lynching. Lynching leave more evidence.

Edit: Why am I getting downvoted? Lynchings end in hanging for all to see it’s what defines them. Am I wrong?

It is and I’d like to thank Ubisoft for that.

Not just AC 3. Eivor is Norwegian. Arno is French. Ezio is Italian. Bayek is Egyptian. Literally none of these MCs are well known historical figures until Yasuke. I can go on. All of them are either natives or local enough to fit in the setting.

I don’t disagree it’d be interesting to have a Yasuke game but the concept doesn’t fit AC like it would in a sequel to ghost of Tsushima or a Samurai Champloo game. It feels unnatural and forced to use him in AC because he’s a foreigner in Japan. It’s a dumb choice not the smart one more than anything else. Like if in the last AC we played Eivor as the apprentice to Bayek in Baghdad not just played Bayek. If the Samurai was white I’d complain about that too just to have an excuse to shit on Ubisoft for being anti consumer.

Also to be very fucking clear, this attack is not racially motivated. It’s motivated by the fact I am a gamer with a stupid amount of hours into this hobby and I have been treated as a cash cow to be put out to slaughter by this particular game company. That when I buy a game I should own it and it should work. That an update shouldn’t be able to delete full screen mode from the menu just to invalidate enhancement mods and push sales of a fucking remake.

I would agree that my outrage is misplaced if I didn’t see most people as cowards unwilling to take down bad companies for the greater good because they trade independence and privacy for convenience and money.

When you make education expensive standards slip everywhere.

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.

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.

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

Cool.

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.

They’re legally strong-arming their way into dominating vr and enshitifying it for profit. The future of VR technology that is actually good is not Anerican.

I’m using an outdated Samsung headset with the windows mixed reality portal. It’s UI is so far superior to Oculus I have I may repair it for another decade rather than upgrade.

I see. I’ll be more careful running epic.

Noted.
