Ubisoft's "Assassin's Creed: Shadows" has sparked quite a bit of controversy since its reveal last May. Japanese producer Hideo Kojima stated that while the game has received some criticism, its sales performance and reviews have been quite good, with the majority of supporters remaining silent. He expressed sadness over the game's excessive negative reviews and pointed out the need to let more people who silently support it have a voice. At the same time, his support for "Assassin's Creed: Shadows" has triggered widespread discussion, with some netizens expressing dissatisfaction and criticizing Hideo Kojima for betraying Japanese culture.

Since its reveal in May last year, Ubisoft's "Assassin's Creed: Shadowers," along with the current DEI backlash in the gaming industry, has been mired in controversy both before and after its launch. Recently, the Japanese producer Hideki Kamiya, who is developing a sequel to "Okami," mentioned that despite the very few criticisms of "Assassin's Creed: Shadowers," the game's sales performance and reviews have been quite good, and most people who think the controversy "is actually nothing" have simply chosen to remain silent.

After the release of "Assassin's Creed: Shadowers," Hideki Kamiya shared his thoughts on his personal platform, expressing that he felt saddened by the excessive negative reviews the game received, but at the same time, he noted that the official announcement of player numbers had surpassed 2 million, and the concurrent online users on Steam were higher than those of other series. He stated, "The sales and reputation are both pretty good, that's great."

Kamiya further pointed out that this is not just about "Assassin's Creed: Shadowers" but rather a comparison between those "furiously angry, absolutely unforgiving!" radical groups and the ordinary majority, who have largely opted for silence. He is therefore curious about what methods might allow this majority group to voice their opinions fairly together.

His support for "Assassin's Creed: Shadowers" has sparked numerous responses online, with some boldly stating that the game insults Japan, and as a Japanese person, Hideki Kamiya defending the game is seen as a betrayal of his ethnicity. Some comments noted, "They are using player numbers instead of actual sales, which in itself is a dangerous signal." "Hideki Kamiya betrayed his own ethnicity lol." Others criticized, "The game wasn't criticized right from the start; it was the company that added fuel to the fire." "Standing against the wind, this statement really fits Hideki Kamiya's style."
