Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced arrived with a blockbuster sales announcement, Ubisoft saying the remake passed two million copies sold on day one, even as reports surfaced that Ubisoft Barcelona laid off 51 employees the same day. Threads and posts center on Edward Kenway nostalgia and Matt Ryan's return to the role, with longtime players savoring sea shanties and newcomers describing their first full Black Flag experience. At the same time, many creators are framing their posts around the studio layoffs, urging boycotts and highlighting the human cost while others celebrate small, affectionate moments in the game like feeding turtles and discovering collectibles.

Don't buy the remake to Assassin's Creed: Black Flag. The game just came out and how does the team get rewarded? With layoffs. Why should we reward Ubisoft with our hard earned money?? Boycott this shit! insider-gaming.com/assassins-cr...
