\u201cThe game is based on Japanese samurai and ignores the fact that samurai were a higher class of warrior class and should have been \u201cgokenin\u201d or servants of nobles. In fact, the first European to receive the title of samurai, William Adams (Miura Anjin), served Tokugawa Ieyasu as a 250 koku hatamoto,\u201d petitioner Shimizu Toru says. \u201cIn such history, Ubisoft continues to misunderstand the essence and role of samurai.\u201d<\/p>
With its next goal of 75,000 signatures, the petition urges \u201cUbisoft to immediately cancel the release of Assassin\u2019s Creed Shadows<\/em> and show sincere research and respect for Japanese history and culture.\u201d<\/p>
