Assasin's Creed PC disclaimer

[the game]

So I'm starting to play Assasin's Creed and while the game is loading this disclaimer pops up. Are we really at the point where we need Political Correctness disclaimers? Why can't companies just make their games/movies/books the way they want.

[PC2]

Howcome they didn't mention merit?

Trigger warning?

It was on the very first one. 9 years ago.

Why does this bother you?

It's also on syndicate.

[Kuntantee]

It is same since the first game, released in 2007, so it's pretty old...probably older than the term "political correctness" was popular and OP knew about it.

The fact that it can trigger you so hard that you rushed here to create a topic about it is actually a bit funny.

[Damajin]

So what you're saying is don't buy Assassin's Creed, huh?

[Video Games]

It's your fault for playing western games. There are tons of women in japan who design games, but they don't shove it in your face.

Just sayin, hipster ubisoft. Trigger warnings before it was cool.

[shadowdasher]

What better way to unite people than to point out their differences.

Nah I'm pretty sure the original one only had '' multicultural team of various beliefs '', not '' gender identities and sexual orientations ''. I'm positive about this.

[PC2]

Is the game sexual or something? I don't understand why sexual orientation and gender are mentioned.

If you call Ezio and the other lady making out in clothes sexual, then yes.

Sentiment generally still holds. Though I do believe you're right about the specific wording.

[Mister Cheese]

It's been the disclaimer since 2007. but the Gender Identity thing was added in syndicate. They didn't start pushing it until Syndicate with Ned Wynert who is a trans woman.

[Paula Deen]

The Gender Identity stuff is new. Quit saying the message is old. It isn't.

I think it's just the same as at the end of movies, it is sometimes said, "No animals were harmed in the making of this movie". It is a way to send a message to people along with the product. Nobody is forced to use these disclaimers in their product, but it is considered a good style to do it. It is their game, they are free to fill it with any content, as long as it doesn't violate the law.

Good luck with AC, by the way. I bought the first game, played it for a couple of hours and quit - not my kind of game. Hopefully your experience is better.

Trigger warning?

Going to start needing trigger warnings for trigger warnings just so the anti-PC twits don't have a seizure.

So far I don't like it. The controls just feel sloppy to me.
