Why do 99% of videogames pander to white (especially American) audiences?

Assassinscreed is the best selling new IP this generation and guess what? The main character is Arab! PoP series main character is Iranian.

Altair is only technically Arab. He looks white and you can barely even discern his features with the hood he has on. PoP is a similar case scenario. Also Persia is only technically Iran. Do you really think the PoP series would be as popular if it was called Prince of Iran?

 

 

Ok, these excuses are pretty pathetic. What about new game Afro-samurai? I don't think Prince of persia or Altair looks like whites. You will find these types people in Arab countries and especially Iran.

They look white, to people who do not live in the Middle East or are around Middle Eastern people a lot. Basically, if you ask and average Western person what an Arab/Persian person looks like (for one they would think that is the same thing) they would describe a darker brown colored person with dark hair, eyes, etc.

 

And then someone will complain about stereotypes.
