Assassin’s Creed: This work of fiction was designed, developed, and produced by a multicultural team of various religious faiths and beliefs

Also Assassin’s Creed: lol no one’s gonna terrorism us for blaspheming against the Egyptians, you fight all those wacky animal-head gods as endgame bosses to collect the elite Anubis gear set

I will say Origins really dropped the ball on the serious revisionism they’d been doing, like 3 was “Ben Franklin was a dirty old man and George Washington was an incompetent self-dealing genocidaire who stumbled into something good”, Black Flag/Rogue/the mobile slavery one were “the entire settlement of the Americas was bad guys”, Unity/Syndicate were like “capitalist democracy happened because it became an easier and more comprehensive way for the strong to dominate the weak than feudalism, also the anarchistic freedom this series always idealized is a juvenile ideology counterproductive on its own terms”

Origins was like “pre-capitalist Egyptian society and economy was completely organized around temples run by mostly-hereditary priests who controlled the distribution of goods and prestige under severe tensions and pressures and sometimes they became corrupted towards self-interest on an individual basis, which meant they might be selfishly blasphemous”
