Going undercover as a race car mechanic, a young mobster makes the mistake of falling in love with his target. Unable to quit his mission or his new romance, he is forced to choose between which truth he wants to live. Either could cost him his life.

idk if i would even trust ubi with reconstruction of all things. if they can't condemn the george floyd yasuke deepfakes, then they were never gonna be ready to take on one of the original sins of the united states

george washington carver would be your weapons merchant, harriet tubman would have been in the brotherhood (initiated by john brown), gotta protect booker t washington from a klan attack before he takes over at tuskegee, you'd have to convince a group of freedmen not to take revenge, etc etc

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

Scoop: Ubisoft cancelled a post-Civil War Assassin’s Creed last year

Company leadership deemed the project too controversial for the moment, sources tell Game File

They said we’re done with that DEI nonsense lol

Chris Kindred @chriskindred.com · 1d

lol it’s okay sometimes you use up all the good words at work

But also—coming into the profession there was an expectation that you’d be this kinda wanderer traveling between projects as they wrap up or wind down, but yeah that’s completely bottomed out

I couldn’t imagine being fresh out of college coming into the industry and seeing a hollowed out building

What’s funny is that games was my “go back to school” pivot from illustration, another notoriously stable industry

Rest of the jobs are lost in time like tears in the rain etc etc

My guess is that only senior roles have lateral movement rn

Chris Kindred @chriskindred.com · 1d

How many games writers have been able to find other games writing jobs after leaving their previous roles?

Part hypothetical part genuine question tbh

There's no need to individually address the conspiratorial thinkers and paranoid schizophrenics making wild claims about the game, the studio, devs, and its lead actor. But a clear statement deriding toxicity and wholeheartedly supporting your team would go a long way.
