Asmongold furious over Assassin\u2019s Creed Shadows and it\u2019s not because of Yasuke Twitch\/Asmongold\/UbisoftTwitch streamer Asmongold was not happy with Ubisoft\u2019s Assassin\u2019s Creed Shadows announcement, but not for reasons you might think. Assassin\u2019s Creed Shadows has already caused a rift in the gaming community over its decision to make Yasuke the main character and depicting him as a samurai. But while this argument rages on, Asmongold has pinpointed another problem with the next installment in the Assassin\u2019s Creed series and it has nothing to do with Yasuke at all. After checking out the pre-order page and was baffled at the pricing options for the game and how Ubisoft is charging over $100 for some versions of the game. \u201cEverybody\u2019s mad about the character. Maybe this is their strategy. Add in a main character for a game that\u2019s really controversial and that way it\u2019ll distract from the fact you\u2019re trying to get people to spend $130 for the f**king game.\u201d Shadows has a few versions listed. A $70 standard edition, a $110 Gold edition that includes a Season Pass and three days of early access, and a $130 Ultimate edition that comes with everything else plus an \u201cultimate pack.\u201d The Season Pass in particular rubbed Asmongold the wrong way, because those who buy the standard version won\u2019t even get everything the game has to offer such as day 1 DLC. \u201cWhy do people buy this sh*t?\u201d he asked. He also pointed to the Ubisoft+ subscription service, which offered the Ultimate edition for $18 a month, claiming that the game was priced this way to funnel new subscribers. \u201cI know this sounds crazy. They don\u2019t want you to buy this [the Ultimate edition],\u201d he added. \u201cThis is a lot worse. If they want to butcher Japanese history, that\u2019s not my problem, but this is a problem.\u201d This isn\u2019t the first time Asmongold has taken issue with Ubisoft\u2019s pricing methods. His comments on Assassin\u2019s Creed Shadows echo those he shared on Star Wars Outlaws where he labeled the $110 and $130 editions a \u201cnew low\u201d for the gaming industry. Unfortunately for the streamer, it seems like his original criticisms fell on deaf ears as the studio maintained the same pricing structure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
