A member of the European Parliament interrupted a discussion on video game preservation with criticisms of diversity in titles like Assassin's Creed Shadows. The comments came during a plenary session in Strasbourg on May 21.
Milan Uhrík, leader of the far-right Republic Movement party from Slovakia, spoke during the debate on the Stop Destroying Videogames initiative. He claimed that wokeness and political correctness are harming the industry and gave examples including games where players must assume a queer character or an African samurai in Assassin's Creed Shadows.
