Ubisoft's Saudi-funded Assassin's Creed DLC provokes staff unrest, but the publisher insists partnering with the controversial regime is A-OK

‘Talking with partners who do not share our democratic values does not mean abandoning them’

Yeah, and I only allow peeing in one corner of the pool.

In the Dlc you assassinate a journalist in an embassy.

The staff should refuse to contribute. Tell them no on religious grounds on account of chopping journalists into pieces being a big no-no.

Yummm tatses like hasbara propaganda

Is everything critical of Saudi Arabia Hasbara propaganda?

I hate Saudi Arabia’s leadership and brutal oppression of their people. Obviously, Kashoggi. Obviously, funding terrorism worldwide. Personally, a friend of mine witnessed a state beheading simply by being in the wrong place at the wrong time while he was working in SA (he was an Indian immigrant worker) - scarred him for life.

Hasbara are in the walls so I presume they saw me type that out and I’ll just patiently await my cheque.

Ugh. Cram your propaganda where the sun won’t shine. So glad to have not bought mirage yet. And now I surely won’t. Despite me liking the ubi games. Yeah I said it, now downvote me like hell for it

Why? Israel and Saudi Arabia get along pretty well. They are natural allies against Iran. The current war in Gaza is all that stands between Saudi Arabia entering the Abraham accords.

Yeah you’re probably right and I’m wrong, my hate of israel got the better of me

If you’d like to don your eyepatch and tricorn, a dev build (ie Denuvo-less) of v1.0.6 got leaked last November.

…the…partners you literally just joined with for this one specific deal? That’s called a client, not a partner, and it happens all the time.
