They should absolutely care, though, that they literally altered the digital renditions of real world statues and paintings to make them more "inclusive" (this happened in Origins. Not sure if it happens in Odyssey but my guess is yes).

It's one thing to rewrite history. It's another to alter works we can go view in real life without anyone's consent because "fuck it". Especially in a game that has a "museum mode" because they want it to be used as a tool in education to showcase historical locations.

Nothing that they modified actually exists in the real world, what the fuck are you talking about.

The striking point of the last photo one of an ancient kalpis from 5th century BCE featured in the British Museum in London, England, has a bit of dialogue describing its context in the game. The sub-header is called Inclusive Gameplay relating to how education in Alexandria was depicted within Assassins Creed: Origins. The text states

Here both girls and boys are shown attending a class given by one of the rhetoricians of the era.

The team made the choice to show both genders attending class within the context of the game world. Even though it is historically inaccurate, the team felt it was not necessary to prioritize historical sexism over inclusive gameplay.

E: Also literally no one would have even known or thought about it had Ubisoft not just straight up admitted to it.

Wait... are you still claiming nothing was modified, or are you officially moving the goalposts to "well yea stuff was modified, but nobody would have noticed anyway"?
