No?

Well, they did, because the latest game, "Black Flag", includes a spot of good old fashioned harmless whaling.

This is what they had to say.

Those asshats at PETA wrote:
"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."


So Ubisoft, being the bros they are, responded thusly.

Ubisoft wrote:
"History is our playground in Assassin’s Creed," Ubisoft said in a statement to the publication. "Assassin’s Creed IV: 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."

"And even if the game does glorify whaling — as it certainly glorifies the life of a pirate — I don’t think it will lead to a generation of gamers who head to the Caribbean to hunt down humpbacks. Just as I don’t think anyone who played the previous Assassin’s Creed games have found employment as a murderer for hire."


Boom, and indeed, headshot.

PETA doesn't follow its own advice...

The cruelest acts to animals that I've seen in any game ever are in the spoof games that PETA makes.

I dunno, they've definitely done a great job of making their entire organization look like nothing more than a joke in the eyes of the general public.
That's some kind of accomplishment, at the very least.

Peta are funny. I used to support them when their actions weren't a fucking joke. They make people who are opposed to animal cruelty look like a bunch of flaming idiots.
