"The Assassin's Creed: Shadow" has sparked a lot of controversy since its announcement in May of last year. Japanese producer Hideo Kojima stated that although the game has received some criticism, its sales and reviews have been good, with most players maintaining a neutral stance and not speaking out. He feels saddened by the excessive negative feedback about the game and mentioned that the official announcement stated that the number of players has surpassed 2 million, and that the simultaneous online player count on Steam exceeds that of other series. Hideo Kojima hopes to find ways for the silent majority of players to voice their opinions; however, his supportive stance has also drawn dissatisfaction and criticism from some netizens.

Since Ubisoft's "Assassin's Creed: Mirage" was announced last May, it has faced ongoing controversies before and after its release, influenced by the DEI backlash in the gaming industry. Recently, Hideki Kamiya, the Japanese producer developing the sequel to "Okami", mentioned that the game has faced criticism from a minority, but its sales and reviews have been quite good, with most people holding a "it's not a big deal" perspective, though they choose to remain silent.

After the release of "Assassin's Creed: Mirage", Hideki Kamiya expressed on his personal social media that he felt regret about the excessive negative feedback the game received, but when he saw the official announcement that player numbers had exceeded 2 million and that Steam's concurrent player count surpassed that of other series, he stated, "The sales and reputation are quite good, that's great." He further explained that this issue is not just about "Assassin's Creed: Mirage" but rather that, compared to the radical groups who are "infuriated and cannot forgive!", the majority of ordinary people who generally have a "it's not a big deal" attitude tend to remain silent. Thus, he is curious about how to enable these ordinary groups to fairly voice their opinions together.

Hideki Kamiya's support for "Assassin's Creed: Mirage" has elicited many responses from netizens, with some arguing that the game insults Japan, questioning whether Kamiya, as a Japanese person, defending the game is an act of betrayal. Others pointed out, "They are using player numbers instead of actual sales figures, which is a dangerous signal," "Kamiya has betrayed his own ethnicity," "The game was not criticized at the beginning; it was Ubisoft that added fuel to the fire," and "Standing against the wind, this statement contradicts Kamiya's consistent style."
