Assassin's Creed Shadows remains in the midst of controversy after Ubisoft spoke about the historical accuracy of the game and apologized to Japanese players for some details. Fan opinions remain divided, and discussions about Yasuke, one of the game's protagonists, continue to stir up commotion on social media and forums.
Members of the unofficial Assassin's Creed subreddit are fed up with these types of discussions about the historical fidelity of the new installment and whether or not Yasuke was a samurai. For this reason, the administrators will ban anyone who complains about the character.
Criticism of Yasuke tires the Assassin's Creed subreddit
Through a statement, the subreddit moderators of the franchise informed that, in recent days, several controversies related to Assassin's Creed Shadows and its protagonist have been discussed.
Some posts have already been closed, as community members do not want to hear any more about the topic. The moderators stated that the discussions are pointless, so they will sanction anyone who continues to talk about it.
"As we are all exhausted of this tedious discussion that has been endlessly talked to death, not to mention exacerbated by a recent official statement from Ubisoft, we would like to give a final reminder to those participating in these debates as to what exactly this franchise entails," reads the subreddit.
The moderators emphasized Ubisoft's statements that "Assassin's Creed is historical fiction," so some elements are based on reality but do not necessarily have detailed accuracy.
"It is a video game. You are not meant to use Assassin's Creed as a sourcebook for actual historical knowledge - it is meant to compel you to do your own external research after immersing you in a glimpse of authenticity. We are not here in this community to debate on historical record
"So if you are specifically here to leave comments about your displeasure about Yasuke's inclusion or various other inaccurate details that have been pointed out in Ubisoft's depiction of Feudal Japan, it is time to understand that this is not the place for this discussion and it never will be. Feel free to take your displeasures elsewhere, away from this franchise and its communities," the message concludes.
Part of the community was satisfied with the decision, believing that the discussions would not lead to anything fruitful and were also tired of the Yasuke controversy. On the other hand, it seems that some fans will not stop criticizing the title despite Ubisoft's statements and the players.
