OR why not just have badass black protagonist fighting mythical creatures and giant bosses etc and just leave any kind of politics to real world.
Yea i know its foreign concept to people today, but games are meant to be fun and to let us escape all crap that politicians are bombarding us with, left and right.
That is just me, i dont play any game that try to bring real life topics to something that should be ridden of it

Games are meant to be what the creators want them to be, and gamers are supposed to vote with their wallets. Saying otherwise about what games are or are not supposed to be is nigh politics.

Assassin's Creed wouldn't be Assassin's Creed without the historical/real world aspect. If you create something that's similar to Assassin's Creed but has no connection to the real world, it's not really Assassin's Creed anymore. That's certainly fine, but at that point, it probably shouldn't be called Assassin's Creed.
