Every Ubisoft game will have a white male protagonist.  Not just games
from the Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, Prince of Persia, Tom Clancy's Rainbow
Six, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon, Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell, Tom Clancy's
The Division, Watch Dogs and The Crew franchises.  Only Elon Musk can
ensure that any new Avatar, Anno, Beyond Good and Evil, Just Dance, Might
and Magic, Rabbids, Rayman, Rocksmith and The Settlers games are free
of any trace of DEI and only have white male protagonists as God intended!

Why do radicals (regardless of left or right wing) always lose their
shit and go on emotional tirades like this as the smallest disturbance
of their comfort zone?  Some side effect of the med shortage or
something?

I fully support games that target or favor specific demographics (all
genders / races / sexual orientation etc).  The problem exists when a
game vendor forces this into Every.Single.Title.

So, watching them get theirs is just as satisfying as watching all
these companies that found out DEI policy is a fast track to
unprofitability go down the tubes.

Like I said, chickens coming home to roost.
