Assassin's Creed Shadows - Yasuke confirmed Samurai, cope and seethe - coming March 20th

[I eat frozen vegetables]

Ah yes, great launch date to release an already controversial video game on.

You need to have serious steel balls to release a game that can be described as cultural defilement on the 30th anniversary of a terrorist attack. The American equivalent would be releasing a flight simulator on 9/11.

At this point I'm convinced someone at Ubisoft is deliberately sabotaging the game, or engineering it to be an insult to Japan.

First the controversy about that one collectible special edition statuette that had a half-torii gate on it. When torii gates are sacred in Japanese culture, and they'd never build a one-legged torii... the only one in existence is one that was damaged by a fucking nuke. So of course the Japanese considered that an insult.

And now the game's release date was set not just to the day of the worst terrorist attack on Japanese soil, but the 30th anniversary of that attack.

There's no way you keep falling from blunder to blunder like that by accident.
It must be deliberate.

Lets not kid ourselves here, the March 20th thing is obviously not a big deal. Sure, it's funny to the autists on here but it's entirely possible most Japanese people themselves only barely recall the attack.

The broken Torii statue is a legitimate fuck-up, that *is* 9/11 tier insensitive, but not March 20th. Evidently, other Japanese devs are releasing games that day.

Yes, but Ass Creed Shadows is a game that has offended Japanese sensibilities multiple times before.
Putting the release date on that day in particular is just adding more insult to the mix.

It's not just any game, after all.
It's a game about beating up Japanese people as a nigger.

The consequences of nigger worship cannot be understated.
