The latest game of Far Cry, the famous game series with plenty of violence developed by Ubisoft, which received an “M” for Adults rating from the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB), People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). pulled. The reason for the reaction is the cock fight scenes in the game.
It seems that in the series where you can hunt your enemies with your dog and fight a cougar, crocodile or a whole host of other animals, cockfighting was the final move to the tip. The famous animal rights organization issued a statement condemning these scenes, demanding that the developer replace the scenes with a less violent alternative.
Ubisoft has not yet made a statement on the subject.
The mini cockfight met with mixed reactions. While some said it was a fun side mission in the game, others criticized Ubisoft for not having common sense for today’s animal rights.
Ubisoft has not yet made a statement on whether it will remove the cockfighting scenes targeted by criticism.
Cockfighting is legal in the Cuban culture that inspired Far Cry
In Cuban culture, which inspired the country of Yara, where the game takes place, cockfighting is legal and the fights held in many underground places operated by the state throughout the country are also an extremely popular source of entertainment. As such, Ubisoft must have thought that cockfights were a detail worthy of inclusion in the Cuban-inspired environment of Yara.
It is noteworthy that in Far Cry 6, where players can participate in fights with these roosters on top of the fictional land of Yara, throughout the game, unlike real cockfights, the roosters do not shed blood and are not killed at the end of the match. Considering that the complaint is only for cockfights; the fact that players are free to maim and kill other animals in the game does not seem to be a problem for PETA.
