The “lib snowflake” screamers and “cancel culture” whiners crying about a game showing the KKK negatively is just too good.

Companies bowing down to fascist regimes, tale as old as 1933

Good call. The “facts don’t care about your feelings” crowd hate being reminded they lost.

It would have been garbage. Either they would have had to severely restrict the player in absurd ways to make sure that no one played the game “wrong,” and then posted edgy youtubes about it. Or they would have had to narrow the scope and strip so much context that it would be basically impossible to tell it was supposed to be the American civil war, other then seeing some union flag props around.

Given how tedious the American Revolution one was, essentially running on rails with your character inserted into key episodes, the Civil War episode would have sucked. Presumably you’d have been riding shotgun with Harriett Tubman and/or General Sherman in a succession of semi-interactive cut scenes, repeating until you shot/stabbed enough confederate NPCs to be rewarded with possibly a short break of open-world exploring as a treat.

i forgot assassins creed was still a thing
