You’re seeing cancel culture in action. Anything that can be defined as „woke” gets review bombed and some video game salesmen („reviewers”) pander to that crowd because outrage sells too.
It’s so weird. Because it has a black protagonist and isn’t ‘historically accurate’? In a game series in which a fictional secret society of assassins controls the world?
I’ve seen some hate on Lemmy too. Is there a legit reason to hate Ubisoft or is it mostly just terminally online losers scared of ‘wokeness’?
There were some allegations of toxic work environment which seemed to be confirmed by couple of execs being arrested a year ago or so although I don’t think that kind of thing made gamers cancel anything.
If I had to guess why this happens on Lemmy then I’d bet on people not knowing that they get information from politically biased sources and those guys can be really good at hiding their true nature. After their opinion is formed the good old „stop liking things I don’t like” instinct kicks in and hence the downvotes. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t guilty of this, hence I can describe the process in detail. Took me way to long to realise.
I’m out of the loop here - why is this game getting so much hate? Reviews seem ok?
