>what were ubisoft thinking?
When development for the game started or was in progress, a criminal druggie OD'd in proximity to a policeman after stealing from a store and getting arrested, and then for a whole two months, white dudes in balaclavas set fire to black owned businesses while blacks looted, raped and murdered other blacks and whites. They tried to kill latinos and arabs as well but those had plenty of guns and started shooting back, killing a lot of blacks. Whites with guns lined up outside their neighborhoods and prepared for civil war.
Ubisoft considered that this two month long event had to be cherished and remembered in gaming history, so they decided to kick out the Asian male protag in favor of a digital representation of the ODing criminal, George Floyd. Why?
Because they thought that the agitprop youths who were sent into the streets to celebrate black nationalism/supremacist sentiments constituted a big enough cultural movement/color revolution and Ubisoft didn't want to miss out on the attention bonanza, just like every other big corporation who gave money to BLM to virtue signal, money which ended up buying homes and luxury vehicles to a few privileged black figureheads of the movement, with very little to none ending up with the blacks whose livelihoods were destroyed.
It really was a full-on pedal to the metal shitshow which keeps on giving all these years later. The whole world watched aghast as large neighborhoods were set on fire, with the police twiddling their thumbs and doing nothing, that's where the "fiery but peaceful" meme comes from.
