What’s going on with the backlash for Assassin’s Creed: Shadows? What’s going on with the backlash for Assassin’s Creed: Shadows?

I just saw the trailer on YouTube, and the comment section is full of people hating on Ubisoft. Not only that, but the like count is significantly lower than the dislike count.

What did Ubisoft do recently?

EDIT: Now it looks like the video has been unlisted. Yikes.


What's up with Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito and US flags? What's up with Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito and US flags?

On 1/17/21, an upside-down "stop the steal" flag flew outside the Alito's home, a week after the 1/6/21 attack on the US Capitol: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/16/us/justice-alito-upside-down-flag.html?unlocked_article_code=1.uE0.ETMZ.kgG7n_gOWbmj&smid=url-share

Two years later, in July and August 2023, an “Appeal to Heaven” / pine tree flag, also carried by the Capitol attackers on 1/6/21, flew outside the Alito's vacation home: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/22/us/justice-alito-flag-appeal-to-heaven.html?unlocked_article_code=1.uE0.5bAD.bt1_BVAvnIXc&smid=url-share

My question is, why is this coming up now? Why wasn't it discussed when it happened? I guess the 2023 one could have been prompted by hearing about the 2021 one recently, but what brought the 2021 one into the news now?

So, here's what I understand - Prime Minister Sunak, a conservative, is calling to have the election early, which is a thing I understand the PM can do. His party is in trouble, and this is seen as yet another sign of it. Why is he doing this, and why does it not look good for him?
