Why have this the Name Watch Dogs?

[Shard]

Is like GTA (and no, not a GTA Clone), you can hack a lot of Things and is a little like AC. But why Ubisoft has given the name Watch Dogs?

[Grimminski]

Because a Watch Dog is somebody who looks out for, and protects, other people. It has nothing to do with the type of game it is.

OP is all like "wtf, where are all the dogs?"

The term watchdog journalism is strongly related to the practice of investigative journalism. A watchdog is defined as "a person or group of persons that acts as a protector or guardian against inefficiency, illegal practices, etc." by the Collins English Dictionary.

[1] In news journalism, a watchdog journalist also fulfills this function of being a guardian. To perform in an investigative manner, the journalist is in the "role" of a watchdog. [2] Watchdog journalism cannot be defined by the amount of investigation alone, however, but is used in many different contexts. It also is stated "contingent on the existing social, political, and economic conditions and a reflection as much of the historical moment as it is of pre‐existing structures and media cultures".

[3] Watchdog journalism can be located in a variety of news media, such as radio, television, Internet, and print media where it may be seen as "a unique strength of newspapers",[4] and additional new media and concepts such as weblogs and citizen journalism. Watchdog journalists also are called "watchmen",[5] "agents of social control", or "moral guardians".[6]

Play it to the end and listen to the narrative from DedSec who describe themselves as the Watch_dogs. Then think back to the beginning and Aiden's clear and definite links to DedSec...

In this case I am terrible at this game. My reputation is as negative as the game seems to allow and I never go to any crimes. xD
It's a good thing crimes insta-heal your rep though. Stopping one crime seems to do the same damage as killing 10 people, but in reverse.
