Ubisoft issued a response to American animal rights organization, PETA’s whaling mechanic complaint in Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag.
In a statement to Polygon, Ubisoft’s senior PR manager, Stone Chin said:
“History is our playground in Assassin’s Creed. Assassin’s Creed IV: 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.”

Oh my God suck it up I swear America is a sissy country because of people like them dang
Just because there is whaling in the game doesn’t mean Ubisoft support it. If anything, I’m pleased that they put whaling into the game. Ubisoft like to be as historically accurate as they can be, which to me is good. The more accurate it is to history, the more you can believe you’re playing in that setting.
