Here's an example of serial deceiver Courtney Craven complaining to Ubisoft about ableist language and successfully making a software company grovel before her. But instead of making the world a better place what Ubisoft was really doing was giving a quick endorphin high that encourages these people to complain more and more - because it's an enormous ego boost to make these big companies change their products because of your petty, fake demands.
A description of a character who was badly burned as a child will be changed in an update.

"Courtney Craven, the founder of gaming accessibility site
Can I Play That?, found one troubling issue with the game, however: a description of a character who was badly burned as a child, and now lives in fear of people seeing her "disfigured face."
"I didn't include this in my Assassin's Creed Valhalla impressions piece but it's equally important to address. This is a character description in the game," they wrote. "It's absolutely unacceptable to talk about facial differences this way. Writers for games and otherwise need to do better."
Unfortunately, although not unexpectedly, the reaction to Craven's tweet was largely negative, leading them to protect their tweets.
Ubisoft took a more understanding approach, however."
In other words, regular Twitter users saw the absurdity of the whole thing and mocked her, but the asswipes at Ubisoft immediately caved in to the demands of a crazy person.
