I'm willing to bet it's a bad game. A little controversy to fool idiot's into buying it without thinking usually works. It serves double duty as it keeps those who really want the best games out of the discussion.
Ubisoft has done it a few times.
Really ramp up the controversy through the marketing, and then release the most non-offensive milquetoast game ever.
Imagine the reality where they actually commit to it like Rockstar, and Far Cry 4-6 aren't just generic open worlds with simple window dressing.
Ubisoft has pushed the game back multiple times.
Ubisoft.
Ubisoft.
Look at all the shit they've sold. They wouldn't have minded selling you dogshit in a bag - hell, they would have added MTX if you want them to set it on fire.
And this game is still too shit for them.

Yeah Ubi💩 knows that a certain slice of the gaming population will defend this game to its grave no matter how shit it is. Simply because the right hates it so much for the diversity. Also saw it with that last Star Wars game.
