re: Japanese people are targeting the historian Ubisoft relied on for their black samurai

Satoshi Hamada, a member of the House of Councillors, stated that he is considering having the government look into the game's negative reaction to its historical inaccuracies.

what i posted earlier

quote:

Sankei reports that NHK Party representative Satoshi Hamada formally asked Japanese government ministries to comment on Assassin's Creed Shadows. Hamada reportedly cited concerns over historical inaccuracies featured in the new Ubisoft game.

Responding, the Japanese foreign ministry said it simply wasn't their concern

What's more, the NHK Party is so small it's virtually insignificant in the grand scheme of Japanese politics - the group's status as a political party was revoked earlier this year in January when the Otsu wing of the National Diet expelled two members.

---

As per the tweets I also posted, Hamada's request was more or less grandstanding, not an actual effort to see something done.

Keep telling yourself that comforting lie. Do you do it like the journalist who say the same thing and then wonder why 1000s of people lose their jobs and studios go under at never before seen rates. A lot of this can be hidden because most of these companies are held by bigger companies but it’s absolutely not a small number of people; it is CRUSHING their revenue, the DEI hires are the first ones chucked out the door when lay offs come, and venture capital is getting more and more stingy in this economy so you have to like actually sell something people want.

If you truly believe you’re in the majority of people who want progressive politics or woke shite in video games you’re a naive fool. It’s overwhelmingly unpopular. The numbers bear this out.

I can’t have a serious conversation with someone who thinks the injection of “woke” being timed with constant shite games, so many studios closing, setting records for lay offs in development, but thinks it’s making money and wants me to present him some pie chart breakdown of how much injected capital has to make up their enormous windfall in losses.

God damn stop slobbing on ubis cock. Regardless of fiction/alt history they're doing w/ the game its going to be dogshit like all ubisoft games so idk why you're even bothering to keep this long arse argument going with everyone.




FYI, there are tons of cool black manga/anime characters everyone loves. Let people be critical of obvious dogshit woke garbage. The game will blow arse regardless of how many critics praise it.

When you think about how many copies this will sell, kind of is.


Look, I'm doing you guys a favor. A big part of growing up is being able to interact with people you don't necessarily agree with. Most of you are failing. Nappy and I can have a discussion, no problem.

This is practice

I'm not jumping into this one but you already know we disagree haha we could disagree over some beers any day.

I’d probably care more if I was Japanese.

It will sell a lot of copies.

It won't sell enough.

They are clearly in damage control mode otherwise they wouldn’t have put out a 4 page apology

It's an apology that says nothing and, honestly, they shouldn't have bothered with. It's just pandering to people who aren't going to change their mind anyways.

You're at least right about this point. Their statement contradicts itself multiple times and shows that they know they screwed up. They made the whole thing worse.

They have to stand by it now

Ubisoft as a company has put themselves into such an awful financial situation they’re essentially going all in at the roulette table in Outlaws and Shadows. Outlaws is hard to predict to me because people love Star Wars shite still and we are coming off the last two Star Wars brand games by respawn being really good but it looks like shite Shadows however I’m extremely confident in saying it won’t even come close to what they usually expect and get from AC. Worst case I’d say 50% Valhalla cash. I think they’re fricked.
