Petition to stop Far Cry 5 - this is next level craziness.

It’s time to draw a line in the sand. We, the American gamers that make up the majority of your userbase, demand to you cancel this game, or alter it to be less offensive to your main player base. In these times, you must understand that there might be some violent repurcussions if you intend to follow through with your pointless criticism.

I love how they just proved Ubisoft's point with this.

Gaming - serious business ;D


The update goes on to attack the press too for mocking the petition


These people honestly think this is a battle they can win?
[snip]
They think calling us racist, mysoginistic, rape apologists is going to change us? We've been called worse things by prepubescent 10 year olds with a shitty head set. They picked a fight against a group that's already grown desensitized to their strategies and methods. Who enjoy the battle of attrition they've threatened us with. Who take it as a challange when they tell us we no longer matter. Our obsession with proving we can after being told we can't is so deeply ingrained from years of dealing with big brothers/sisters and friends laughing at how pathetic we used to be that proving you people wrong has become a very real need; a honed reflex.

Gamers are competative, hard core, by nature. We love a challange. The worst thing you did in all of this was to challange us. You're not special, you're not original, you're not the first; this is just another boss fight.

Wow, I haven't played a Farcry since 3 (dabbled in 4 and primal). Found the gameplay to be a re-skin of 3 (which I felt was a good game in its own right), just couldn't go through 2 more of those. I'm actually a bit interested in this now. Fuck those nutjobs.

Follow one of more of these and this game will be saved from PC hell and multicultural development. We Americans have so few games to call our own, and we’re tired of losing them to multi-cultural bullshit.

U mad, bro..?
 
This protest was completely expected. Ubisoft has got to be doing a good job if they're getting this kind of reaction.

My only disappointment is that there're apparently not enough alt-reich allusions in the game's villain.
 
So it's ok for games to be set in other places and allow gunning down of characters from other countries but because it's set in the US with American bad guys, the game should be cancelled ?

WTF are these people smoking ? They should get over themselves and also realise it's a video game, not real. I hope the game sells really well just to piss these idiots off even more.

Lol... I'm in the US and I know its supposed to be a parody, but it seems strangely familiar ;). Given some crazy circumstances I can definitely see some people acting just as crazy...

Maybe for some of those folks the joke is hitting too close to home ;).
