Ubisoft isn’t political. Honest, they aren’t. Well, maybe they are when they’re being criticised for not being political. Though later, when they are quite clearly being political and people complain about it, they will swear blind that they aren’t being political, it’s just fantasy you see. In the case of the upcoming Watch Dogs: Legion, they can’t be making a political statement because the setting was chosen before the politics became all political, despite mentioning the politics on stage at E3.
