Apparently PETA got all pissed off over the whaling imagry in AC4:Black Flag. Well, Ubi responded....
Ubisoft's senior PR manager, Stone Chin, addressed the game's historical context directly in an email to Polygon.
"History is our playground in Assassin's Creed," Chin said. "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."
