This wouldn't be getting nearly as much attention if Ubisoft didn't give such an bad response. I'm not saying it's not true at all; it would add more work. But the response just makes the devs sound lazy and it makes the game sound like it belongs on an assembly line in a factory. And to people like myself, whom already question the talent of the AC staff, that's not doing them any favors.

What would you rather they say then? We have the time to add a female Assassin but we can't be bothered to?

I know it sucks for devs and gamers but they have limits to what they can do with the time and resources they have.

Plus I am kind of tired of people judging games from trailers and not finished builds of the game.

The bolded part is essentially what was said. Did you read the quotes? Hell, it would have been better if the guy said, "We really wanted to add a female playable character but didn't have time because we are on a schedule."

Instead, it came across as if he was saying they merely didn't add a female character only because it would require some extra effort. Again, that's where the game starts sounding less like the devs doing what they can to make the best game possible and more like a game being pushed out to make money ASAP.

And to your last line, who the fuck said I'm judging this game based on trailers? No, I'm judging it based on my experience with previous games in the series. And my experience has ranged from "Finally, I'm consistently having fun!" at best, to "Who the hell in their right mind thought this would be a good idea?" at worst, with "So when does this start getting  better?" as a median. I think I have every right to be wary of this upcoming game and the developer's comments.
