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.

Again, its called Video Game, you know "Game".

I have 0 interest in politics and even less for american politics that doesnt concern me at all. 

You are right, its up to developers and what they want to make, and it up to me if i will support them or not. And since Ubisoft will most likely be owned by Tencent at the end of fiscal year, i am glad that most gamers think the same way as me.
