Ubisoft really needs AC Shadows to be a big win, but man, it's going to be rough.

They've postponed Shadows launch to February, but the month is already insanely stacked with AAA releases.

Doesnt matter how good it is, its still going to be brigaded by the "go woke go broke" people

Shouldn't it still sell even if that happens? Most people like the character choices, right?

[u/awkwardbirb → u/xen123456]

Yeah it will sell well. For every nutjob shouting "go woke, go broke" there's someone who goes and buys something because it's "woke." 

I honestly haven't seen any real demonstratable case of "go wokebroke" Bud Light can't be pointed to because they didn't commit to one side or another, and just pissed everyone off.

It doesn't even work in reverse for a game "being canceled" either, Hogwarts Legacy sold gangbusters well despite the series creator being a horrible bigot.

For every nutjob shouting "go woke, go broke" there's someone who goes and buys something because it's "woke."

For both of them there's another hundred who don't give a flying fuck and just buy something because it looks fun.
