Deception Revealed: Japanese Ubisoft Consultant Who Criticized Players for Yasuke Turns Out to Be a Sweet Baby Inc Employee
As it became known, users have revealed more manipulations by Ubisoft regarding Assassin's Creed: Shadows.

Recently, Japanese "expert" and consultant for Ubisoft, Kazuma Hashimoto, said in an interview with the New York Times that criticism of the game is allegedly spread only by people in the West who use a translator and misinterpret the words of the Japanese, and the Japanese themselves "were not upset that the game presents Yasuke as the main character and a samurai."

However, users managed to find that Hashimoto, judging by his LinkedIn profile, is a former employee of Sweet Baby Inc, having worked there from February 2020 to April 2023, i.e. almost the entire time of active development of Assassin's Creed: Shadows.
