I honestly can't believe Ubisoft would've made a game like this even without Trump in office without somehow both-sidesing it by making half the KKK black or something

They'd have Frederick Douglass lecture you about how violence isn't the answer and you're just making the KKK attack more black folks.

yeah that's way too much "something to say" for ubisoft considering how far cry 5 was

Meanwhile on reddit-logo when someone pointed out the same thing about FC5 in relation to this cancellation

No, that's a good thing. FC5 did a great job of making fictional extremists that wasn't one sided. A hippy drug addled religious zealot. If they tried to take a stand either way it would be worse. Doing a civil war AC would just need to be accurate and not try to act like a poor modernization to mirror a political opinion.

"accurate" dean-frown

why does a game that had a magical alien orb thing need to be "accurate"

Ubisoft is kinda funny in that it's a French company with a bunch of studios including the famous Ubisoft Montreal in Canada. So sometimes they dgaf. In Watch Dogs 2 there's a level where you break into an FBI office to steal from them, and they're an enemy faction you can fight. I cannot imagine any American company making the literal FBI an enemy faction (the other factions are the police and gangs).

AC4s DLC was quite literally one dude fighting against slavery. They could make this happen if they wanted to.
