It appears that there is a bit of controversy surrounding
Ubisoft's new title, Watchdogs. Well, if I'm honest, there is more than one
controversy. In this piece I want to tackle one of them. I would like to briefly
address the claims of the game as being racist, and offer the counter claim
that Watchdogs is not racist. Players may be racist, players may ignore
reality, and players may not like what they see in the game. But the game
itself is not racist.
"Watchdogs is racist",
or so some reviewers
would argue.
Their argument is based on two things -
the Profiler, an in-game tool that gives players information about the NPCs,
and a play style as demonstrated on the video below.
