If you’ve been on Twitter recently, you’ll have seen the latest gaming controversy surrounding Assassin’s Creed Unity and misogyny. The issue is that the game doesn’t feature any female assassins, but the rest of the gaming media have unhelpfully put a misleading spin on the story. Talkingship clears up the media bias with a clear explainer: here’s why Ubisoft aren’t sexist, and why it makes perfect sense for AC Unity to only have male assassins.
Insider Gaming - "Ubisoft has cancelled yet another game, this time ending development on the Animal Crossing-inspired title Alterra."
HALIFAX (April 14, 2026) – Laid-off Ubisoft workers in Halifax have voted overwhelmingly in favour of a settlement with the video-game giant. The terms of the settlement, including the compensation employees will receive, is confidential.
I can't sit here and act like I know these workers financial situations. And I'm sure nobody wakes up WANTING to go to court. But for the sake of the industry, I wish some of these types of cases made it to trial.
Settlements allow companies to continue to do whatever abusive practices they do. While the trials (should the company lose) would actually force real changes for the better.
But again, I'm not in these workers shoes and I can understand them not wanting to risk it.
Two-day event includes exclusive reveals, trailers and playable games on show floor.
The whole reason why they aren't women are because they are portraits of the main character , who is a male. It is similiar to watch dogs where everyone is Aiden but you see others as random people. In the E3 live interview they even said this.
Ubisoft hates women. You know it. I know it.
No female protagonist(s) -> therefore hates women.
Love this kind of logic.
I think it's kinda sad that people are accusing Ubisoft of hating women just because you can't play as one in one of their games. Aisha briefed their whole pressed, they also include women in their previews of games, and many have large roles. It silly and stupid. Also why should people rage over if you can't play as one? It doesn't mean they hate women, it doesn't mean they want to oppress women, it doesn't mean they want to only appeal to men, it just means they didn't put any women.
Rambo hates you.
