I am a Chinese AC player since AC2, CERO doesn't have the authority of censoring the whole asian market, neither shouldn't you, ubisoft. I don't buy it.

We are Chinese players, we don't need to comply with Japanese regulations. Ubisoft's practice is disgusting.

@redindianrobin
This is not a fact, you really don’t need to act like you’re a Ubisoft developers or someone else that related to Ubisoft.

The main problem is Ubisoft find out that JP physical version need to CERO but Asian version doesn’t.
And if Ubisoft make two version together can make a great cost down.
Just because they think JP can represent all Asian region.

I’m Taiwanese, don’t need to be under CERO

@frankcard You can shout all you want to Ubisoft but the fact is Sony forced this not Ubisoft lol

I'm a big fan of Assassin's Creed. If Ubisoft doesn't change the data, I won't buy any Ubisoft games in the future

@frankcard You can shout all you want to Ubisoft but the fact is Sony forced this not Ubisoft lol

Since it's forced by Sony, then we could ask for refund if you have pre-ordered.
In fact, i considered to purchase a Xbox for the coming cross platform games if Sony insists to do so.

@zhenfeiniao6268 Agree with you! I decide to buy the game after I saw the trailer but now I decide to not buy the game after I saw the announcement! Thanks to Ubisoft

@eiketooya
I’ve refunded this but I still wanna do something for my rights.
I’m a PlayStation player and I don’t need to be a second - class citizen as a player.

As a Taiwanese player, we’ve been through Watch dog and ACU censored.

And you wanna convince me that all decision made by Sony?

Hope all the players from different regions can understand that all we try to do is get a complete version instead giving us 「Vicky the Viking」

I am a Taiwan Player. I think that resolve is a place discrimination.American people can play the true and real AC,and Asian people can't.As a old  assassin's creed fans,I am so sad to see this situation was happened.We paid the money,just also gain a poor games.Asian are idiots that ubisoft thought.

I am a player from China and a loyal Ubisoft fan.I hope you can listen the voices from Asia.We need original game.

I have to say I'm worrying about a further crisis for Ubisoft if they do nothing to correct this issue.
I wrote this idea in another post relating to the topic:

Based on the story they are telling, a game like AC:V or any other games in AC or Watchdog series WILL NEVER BE OFFICIALLY ALLOWED to sell in China mainland. 
Ubisoft was so lucky to have a thing called "market" in China mainland because Chinese players love them, they defend their love in a way like don't ask then nobody tell. They just pay for the disc via small game dealers or accessing HK/TW psn store to buy the digital copy and play it secretly.

If Chinese players got [censored] like they are totally ignored, some of them might take their revenge in a very localized way: since it seems like in this time Ubisoft doesn't care that much about these ppl, they could nominate Ubi as, "a software company selling game copies promoting 'western values' illegally in socialism China", a proper reputation in the eye of Chinese government. 
Ppl could manage to do that easily. No need of collecting over 100 thousand signatures to be noticed by the authorities, there is a form especially for REPORT, about any relating issues or activities which doesn't follow "the core of socialism values", lying in there on the website of Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China. 

Then there comes the real thing called censorship, not just no game to play for one time, there will be no Ubisoft in China anymore.
Similar things actually happened before. In May 2020, the whole Chinese PSN store was forced to close by just one report send by a SWITCH player located in China. His point is, since the Chinese version Nintendo SWITCH cant get access to any of the game stores other than the China official one (almost no game in there) nor play any foreign game disc, why you Playstation players could do that in the same country? He send the report, and then Sony was forced to act. Though there's nothing wrong with the Chinese PSN store at all, it was closed. The authorities doesn't care about the details. (and dont ask me what other things Sony did to manage to survive, it's off topic for now)
Of course there are not so many players use the Playstation to play the specially censored AC:V game only for PS4/5 in China, but no one can make a promise that if you treat these ppl like they are nothing to you, nobody would be so extreme to turn into suicide attacker in rage. Like "since I cant play it properly, no one could, no matter which platform you are using or which game you are playing from Ubisoft"

Plus if ppl want, they also have other options helping Ubi establishing a bad reputation. Such as to exaggerate a little bit of their weird attitude towards the jurisdiction of Japanese laws over other East Asian countries, who were suffered from Japan in WWII, in front of the easily provoked nationalistic public of China in their social media. 
Most of us can imagine the reaction of the latter.

If these happened, things will be out of control.
And if you dont do what you should do ASAP to console these ppl who loved your games, who made you a market, I cant make sure my post wont inspire them to do these awful things either.

育碧可能不太清楚今年五月份在中國大陸的PSN商店發生了什麼，因為一名任天堂玩家舉報，整個大陸PSN商店被關掉了，儘管這間大陸區域的商店並沒有做錯什麼。我這裡上面寫了兩種可能，就是當你真的把大陸玩家氣到光火，會導致他們如果也有一個這種人想著“我只能玩到閹割版本的話那大家乾脆都不要玩好了”去舉報並且話說難聽一點就會發生什麼。畢竟育碧的遊戲在大陸並不是可以公開發賣的對吧。最壞可能就是事情會變得很難看，整間育碧公司在大陸都不要再想賣遊戲了。希望總部這邊能聽到我們這些玩家的聲音，不要再逼迫亞洲的玩家為你們的錯誤埋單了，再無作為可能就真會有人好氣好氣然後去做一些過激的事情了。

It is so ridicluous that a viking game without any blood. It just feels like you do not even care other asian palyers at all. I am so disapointed and extremly angry for this. Plz show some respect to any other asian region players, we derseve the complete AC Vahalla.

THANKS TO UBISOFT! NOW WE CAN SAVE THE MONEY FOR CYBERPUNK2077

@redindianrobin ppl can also force Sony or Ubisoft took their [censored] and get out of Chinese market. Of course you dont care, asking Sony or Ubi if they care.

I'm a player of Playstation in Asia. When I saw the news, my heart was full of disappointment and anger. From assassin's Creed 5 to the latest Odyssey, I won the platinum trophy for every work. I'm an old fan. This time, I refused to pay.

We need blood!

We need fairness!

My life is a mess and I don't want to have a bad game experience
我的生活已经一团糟了，我不希望在游戏里也一样。

PS4/PS5

The Asian players don't want regional difference

It's affect the game experience so much
It's Japan CERO
The rest of Asia Have no reason to following that thing
We want cancel the regional difference for rest of asia
I won't call It racism,but It is indeed disrespectful to us

We need this be solved

Edit 1:
Cancel regional difference for us who not belong to Japan
We don't need to follow Japanese rules.
We don't need to follow Japanese rules.
We don't need to follow Japanese rules.
We don't need to follow Japanese rules.
We don't need to follow Japanese rules.

Japan is a country of Asia, but Asia is not Japan alone. Per Japan’s CERO, it need check 18+ game for some necessary ban. Ubi you could not apply this rules for all Asia country and Australia. I’m from China, here many PS platform players who are not satisfied with this ban for whole Asia area. We are looking forward to your further action for this feedback and update version to distinguish JP and other countries.

I am a Taiwanese player and very disappointed in ubisoft. I won't buy this game if you make Asian version a censored version.

@moment_cc
we hope Ubi is not a Racist
