To be fair, Ubisoft isn't in a good position right now, to be able to experiment or do whatever they want. So the cancellation is understandable, if they expect it to be controversial and flop because of that. In the end, its the fault of the people who had political issues with prior games. I wish people would stop, so that companies can experiment and be more creative.
Personally, I don't see a lot of reasons to be fair towards Ubisoft executives. They haven't earned that.
They have gone the safest path for over a decade now, making reskins of the same three games over and over to the point where Assassin's Creed and FarCry which used to be real innovations in their fields are now just boring copies of copies. They haven't taken a single risk since AC2.
They got negative feedback to including Yasuke - a real historical figure who did exist in the era the game depicts - and now they'd rather preemptively cancel their own game than tell a story about freedom and rebellion from an unusual perspective.
Cowards.
