Assassin’s Creed Diversity Disclaimer Screens

[› Furin]

All Assassin’s Creed games have featured a "diversity disclaimer" as one of the opening screens. There have been two versions thus far:

The original: http://i863.photobucket.com/albums/ab194/frankgbosmanroosje/ac-unity_zpsygl2uxde.jpg

The new version (first seen in Assassin's Creed® Syndicate): http://i863.photobucket.com/albums/ab194/frankgbosmanroosje/ac-syndicate_zps90brbe87.jpg

Shouldn't this be subtle? Also, it's probably in most Ubisoft games.

I don't think it's very subtle.

It's a clear virtue signal - they even use the word "multicultural."

The newer version also includes LGBTQ+ propaganda. That change in and of itself seems very telling to me.

Why would a developer put this in a video game at all? Is there any other purpose it could serve aside from political propaganda?

You can find the same language used on corporate DEI pages.

Alright, that's true. Never liked these disclaimers.

As a matter of housekeeping, I'll go ahead and note that there are already other discussions for specific Assassin's Creed games.

Those will supersede this discussion (I'll post a link to this discussion in each of them) and any additional points raised in those discussions will also be mentioned in those games' reviews.

If anyone has game-specific information you'd like to make others aware of, please do so in a dedicated Game Discussion for that specific game. Thank you.
