Current Events > Why do Assassin's Creed games open with a disclaimer about gender identities?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Mah Tetris was free of all that extra baggage.

Imagine not being able to see the obvious Soviet propaganda in Tetris.

Virtue Signaling

This is the correct answer. The games used to contain plot points that would offend muslims or christians but now it's just empty pandering. But on the upside, at least it makes people mad like CyricZ though. :)

Ok ?

Okay what? You don't remember something that was in the game, but it was there. That's why it was in the disclaimer
Is this the part where you get hostile for no reason?

ubi has become the ultimate SJW AAA dev. it's silly in games like r6 siege when they add women to very inclusive organizations such as Russian Spetsnaz and American Navy SEALs

Tbqh that sort of thing doesn't bother me for MP games. Player choice is preferable to historical accuracy in that context. It would be very silly in a campaign though

Complaining about this is just as dumb as the people who complained about how Odyssey forced you to have a kid.

Remember there are only two genders. Male and political.

Plus if they ever did include an lgbt character it wouldn't be presented in a provocative or controversial way, but in a patronizing and ass kissing way.

You can be gay in Odyssey.

It isnt pandering, but anything that breaks the nuclear family status quo is pandering to trolls like yourself.

You not remembering it really isn't of any concern to me, you have Google just like anyone else. The whole point is that the disclaimer was changed to fit the content of those games

The actual complaint on that one was that Odyssey took an rpg approach that allowed players to make choices as to what their character was like, but then the DLC railroaded you into having a kid regardless of the choices you made even in that DLC. It makes sense when you consider that the devs had a specific story they were trying to tell, but it felt incongruant with the rest of the experience

It's just some corporate mission statement, no need to get twisted up about it

Odyssey is a shut game, Origins is a classic

There was something like this at the beginning of Shadow of the Tomb Raider. It made me laugh.
