What the controversy was all about.

See? these guys get it. This is what's it all about right here.

Pretty much. Just dog whistles.

Where's this '''success'' though? Not here. Only success is letting others get to you this much.

Dude just let it go.

The game didn't flop, it had the second most successful launch in Assassin's Creed history, behind only Valhalla (Which itself was an anomaly, as it released near the holidays, smack in the middle of the pandemic when everyone was on lockdown with nothing else to do. Where it not for those unique and nonreplicable circumstances, Shadows would have had the biggest launch in the series history).

Just take the L and move on.

On Steam as opposed to the publishers subscription service. Where you can play it all of the way through for eighteen bucks, or on consoles where you can buy a physical edition. Where you can lend, trade, or sell used. Those of us who bought and played here. Probably care too much about everything in one place or achievements.

That number is a testament to storefront loyalty. Not to whether the game is enjoying real success, and having played the game from beginning to end. I agree with the guys who put out that video. The game isn't woke you all are just racists. It take more then one character being black. For something to be woke let alone offensively woke.

Now that all the dust has settled, the whiners will probably move onto something else.

A lot of them already are. Their newest target is the upcoming fantastic four movie for having a female Silver Surfer (nevermind that she's a canon comic character that has been around since the 80s and appeared on the literal first comic of the surfer himself)

There's not much to the controversy. It's all down to credulous people who are only happy when they have something to be irrationally angry about listening and watching all the Youtube 'drama farmers' out there churning out fake outrage videos to get all the Likes and clicks for their seedy Sinfluencer, outrage-peddling social media channels.

Another person who think all video games are played on Steam. Probably thinks the world is flat also.

I require full 1000% historical accuracy in the game series that allows us to acquire the athletic abilities of our ancestors through our DNA via VR headsets to battle present-day Illuminati.

I miss when the series would desync you when you went to the edge of the city, or killed too many civilians.

That was REAL historical accuracy not this slop.

I personally don't care about playing as Yasuke at all. I do find it annoying that I can't play as a male ninja but whatever.
I really think that people are so annoyed with virtue signaling in media these days that they panic and make some stuff a bigger deal that it should be.
But devs like Bioware have really created this problem. The whole barv thing will go down in game history as the most cringe virtue signaling of all time.

Exactly. It's the devs that are the problem not the many Manosphere hate mongers riling up the neckbeards.
