Ubisoft’s senior PR manager, Stone Chin, has responded to PETA’s claim that Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag endorses the unnecessary hunting and killing of whales. Chin reiterated that Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag is purely a work of fiction that tries to depict the golden era of the pirates and isn’t meant to cause upset.
“History is our playground in Assassin’s Creed. Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag is a work of fiction that depicts the real events during the golden era of pirates. We do not condone illegal whaling, just as we don’t condone a pirate lifestyle of poor hygiene, plundering, hijacking ships, and over-the legal-limit drunken debauchery.”
U tell them Uisoft!! 8D
I know! PETA got owned by Ubisoft !
JOKES ON YOU UBISOFT!!!!!HAHAHAHAHA
i meant its what PETA’s respond after this will be..lol
indeed!
But they do condone killing people, ,, they didn’t mention it,
lol
Hi there! This kind of posting could not be pisulbhed any better! Here post reminds me of my previous room mate! I adore finding sites of which view the valuation on providing a good source for nothing. In truth the blogging is releasing its wings quickly. Your formulate is a great one than it. I was studying some of your posts on this website and i also conceive this site is actually informative.
You know what i don’t get? Why they are targeting AC4 and did nothing about AC3…when you hunted animals in the forest and killed them, skinned them alive and sold them for money. Or in Tomb Raider when you hunt animals and eat them…or like in Sly Cooper when you play as a raccoon who goes around beating up other animals and shit…FUCK PETA! Their a bunch a sensative dick weeds who bitch and moan about the littlest things that involve animals -_- Just for that I’m gonna hunt the shit out of whales on AC4 Good job PETA you just made your argument worse
Exactly what I was thinking too…. AC3 is worse than the 4th one. You skin animal alive and shit my dad coulnd’t take it lol.
Yo PETA, Who The Hell Cares About What You Say! It’s Happening Whether You Like It or Not! The Game Involves History, Deal With It!
You’ve said it man. Bravo!
You are a clever boy, Chin
I love how they don’t try to deny or sugar foot around it.
They’re pretty much just saying “it’s not real, so calm your tits”.
Peta should deal with issues that actually happen, not in video games
PETA is all about attention.
It’s much easier to gain attention by attacking something popular in the media, like video games.
If you’d notice, that’s pretty much all they’ve been attacking lately.
PETA is an attention whore. While I am all for the ethical treatment of animals and people that abuse animals should be punished severely this is a BS complaint. This game is depicting historical events and from what I am told does a decent job with historical accuracy of the time periods it is set in.
PETA is also the organization that made a horrific web based game attacking Super Mario because of the Tanooki suit. The game was excessively violent and made PETA look like the hypocrites that they are.
They also did something similar with Pokemon. Next it will be Monster Hunter before you know it.
LOL Ethical Treatment of Fictional Monsters.
Clever response from the Ubisoftian…
PETA, suck it
peta is fucking stupid!
I argee. Peta should leave Ubisoft alone. They aren’t the ones making the game, Ubisoft is. Besides to the fact that it’s only a game and not reality.
Hahaha xD nicely put Ubi
Expect to see angry parents demanding Congress to ban these games due to Cutlass wielding criminals committing crimes in all Ports.
PETA don’t care about those things, they just want to save the virtual whales from the 18th century.
Time for PETA Trek 4: The Voyage Home.
LOL!
Comments est. 200
He’s not gunnagedduway with this!
Haha, Ubisoft told THEM! xD Instead of making accusations, why dont they actually HELP animals instead of blaming anything they could.
That would be too much like work. PETA are made up of lazy bastards sitting around looking for people to blame. They need to be careful who they blame or they might have to actually get off thier fat ass’s and make an appearance somewhere making digital animals in video games a perfect target.
Now that’s what I call a good shot – nicely done Ubi!
The last word of the Ubisoft quote made me think of only one thing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOOzF4VLTE0
Back on topic, good job Ubisoft!!!!!!!!!!!!
TROLL PARTY!!
Invited:
Aeolus
Bill
Mother Hen
Ness
(anyone ellse invited)
Don’t be bait for the trolls
Some of them aren’t trolls.
Am I invited? : D
NO
lol
The Petanians clearly lost alot from their original ways…
Which must make us Nintendos appreciate and support our own cause even more…
PETA will retaliate with a flash game, it’s only a matter of time.
Their weaponry is inferior to our own, it won’t be any problem…
Perfect response! Zing!
He forgot to mention that they also don’t condone really killing people by assassination.
Ubisoft PR is dope.
This reminds me of when they were having a fit over Super Mario 3D Land saying that Mario wears a skinned tanuki fur and promotes the killing of animals for fur lol They even made a game for it on their website. Super Tanooki 2D Skin. Its rather disturbing. These are also the very same blokes who tried to petition for a roadside memorial for a truck carrying fish that crashed releasing them floundering about on a highway. Blooming fish. I find PETA unnerving much like cults.
I will purchase two copies for twice the whaling.
Lmao!
pretty good response
Have to love how an organization makes a scene over a mission in a game that is less than 1% of the total content when the entire game is about the plotting over world domination and the torture and killing of people (in graphic detail by the way).
News flash: we’re animals too and I don’t see them fighting to save us from violence. Perhaps they should join forces with conservation societies and really make a difference in the world’s ecosystem than fighting over a stupid video game.
I have as much desire to go whaling as I do parachuting off buildings, shooting 12 year olds in the face or jumping on turtles’ shells.
PETA- People Eagerly Trying for Attention
Secret of the maiyans solved.
This really isn’t a “burn” or “you tell them Ubisoft”, it’s a statement that everyone, even the people at PETA, know and understand. They were simply responding to PETA’s statement. So you should all just calm your tits. It’s a game, it’s fake, we all know it. Even PETA.
We must conduct psychological tests on some Petanians to verify that…
We must conduct psychological test on people who call others “Petanians” to verify their intelligence.
I don’t need one realmless one…
I’m sorry the lack of intelligence from that comment confused me.
Try again?
Yes. No.
Choose wisely.
PETA sucks! Nice job Ubisoft!
i know that peta is concerned about the whales in the world, but WTF i don’t think that every player of AC have a whale hunter ship at home, well done ubisoft.
Own3d
What Ubisoft said was exactly what I would of said to PETA.
PETA + Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot = DUMB MOTHERFUCKERS!
Change your name to N-Scrub Humiliation!!! Bahahahahaha!!!
Do you support PETA?
Mop that bitch!!!
PETA sucks! PETA sucks!
People
Eating
Tasty
Animals
Silence fool.
Never.
While I am all for what PETA stands for, I despise them and their way of doing things. When something is a complete work of fiction, animals are NOT being harmed. It’s fake. It’s not even live action, it’s an animated game. They do this type of crap so often. The don’t seem to understand that it gives them a bad reputation and really just takes away from real problems involving cruelty and wrongful death to animals.
It took PETA to get me to be on Ubisoft’s side. They put it perfectly.
LOL I love ubisoft!
Woah! I’m really linvog the template/theme of this website. It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s tough to get that perfect balance between user friendliness and visual appeal. I must say you have done a great job with this. Also, the blog loads very fast for me on Opera. Superb Blog!
Haha, screw PETA. Nothing but a bunch of business assholes trying to get money.
Burn heal, PETA?
Ubisoft uses Reason
it didn’t affect PETA
next they will target xenoblade chronicles, monster hunter and any other game involving “promotion of killing animals” when they themselves kill animals and that is what i call irony at its finest
i hope nintendo and all gaming companies join forces to close all of peta’s works and whatnot and we can all live happily ever after
I like this response. It is very mature unlike Peta’s illogical complaint.
I really do not care for PETA. They have shown themselves as an organization that does not truly care for animals. Or else they would care about the ones that are REAL and not fake…
At this point, I have a feeling PETA is being dumb on purpose.
Oh fuck off PETA you animal humping, filthy hippies. Animals are not people! They’re fucking animals!
Animals are just as important as you…
Without animals you would’t exist…
PETA destroys the animals they claim to protect.
http://www.petakillsanimals.com/
I agree with you on that. Peta should just leave UbiSoft alone. Peta doesn’t make the video games, so i say that they need to back off.
I know right? They’re fucking hypocrites
you gay jews only nerds like bitchs play this game you homos
So English is your second language? Third maybe?
Take that PETA ! Protecting virtual animals lmao no Frakkin’ whale was hurt during the making of this game !. How stupid can PETA be. Wow. Go after Japan for whaling not games idiots. Man this is the funniest trying I have ever read !
Ubisoft, you just have my thumbs up~!
I think I’ll hook up my old NES and play some Duck Hunt
Pingback: Gaming Charged » PETA Overreacts to Assassin’s Creed IV
I love virtual animals. And once in a while, I like to kill some too.
It’s more fun killing players that cries when I own them with knife only in fps games, when I rush/cheese on rts games or just backstabb them in multiplayer games…
how I hate PETA a load of idiots and loony’s, it is pretend
LOL okay their response snapped me back into reality.
And when I said “their”, I meant Ubisoft’s.
PETA is full of disgusting hypocrits who don’t care about animals, only how many naked celebrities they can get on their stupid ads.
Plus this: In 2000 PETA through bloody dimes at people in a “March of Dimes” event.
If you think THIS is hillarious, wait til you see what they blamed pokémon for… It is just so unnessecary :)
I think everything said made a bunch of sense. But, what about this?
suppose you typed a catchier title? I am not suggesting your information isn’t solid,
but suppose you added a title to maybe get people’s attention? I mean Ubisoft Responds To
PETAs Assassins Creed 4 Complaint | My Nintendo News is kinda
plain. You ought to look at Yahoo’s front page and watch
how they create post titles to grab viewers interested. You
might try adding a video or a pic or two to grab readers interested
about what you’ve written. In my opinion, it would make your posts a little bit
more interesting.
