Got no love of Ubisoft or Assassins Creed Shadows.
That said, I find it a bit strange how gamers are fine with players having the freedom to beat pedestrians to death, steal their cars, run over innocent pedestrians and shoot up entire neighbourhoods with rocket launchers and miniguns in a game like Grand Theft Auto, but as soon as a game gives the player the freedom to destroy a shrine or church, then it's bad.
Don't get me wrong here, anyone is perfectly welcome to find either in-game acts to be offensive (because, let's face it, they are offensive), and if this player choice makes it so you don't wish to buy the game, then again, that's an entirely valid position to take.
Just so long as nobody calls for such games to be banned from sale or intends to put pressure on developers to self-censor.
Tolerance need to go both ways in this regard. There are many people who have objections to the church and other religions as well, and it is their right to have them. But they're still obliged to tolerate these religions and adherents to exist.
And so, religious people must also tolerate offensive games to exist as well as the people who want to play them.
