Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag is net aangekondigd en duurt het nog even voor de game in de winkels ligt. Maar het vegetarische dieren terroristen clubje PETA is weer eens boos. Want wat blijkt je kan op Walvis jacht in de game en dat is zielig als je een beest dat bestaat uit 0101010101010101'n dood maakt. Dan gaan PETA hun lipje pruilen en stampen met de voetjes.

Update: Ubisoft reageert.

Whaling-that is, shooting whales with harpoons and leaving them to struggle for an hour or more before they die or are hacked apart while they are still alive-may seem like something out of the history books, but this bloody industry still goes on today in the face of international condemnation, and it's disgraceful for any game to glorify it. PETA encourages video game companies to create games that celebrate animals-not games that promote hurting and killing them.

Ubisoft's reactie:

History is our playground in Assassin's Creed. 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.
