Your image is bad because it ignores the context of the games when they came out and their individual characteristics.

The Telltale TWD came out in 2012-2013, some years before the AAA video game industry decided to echo the ideas of activists that hate "gamers" (who are mostly men) and who see video games as a tool to spouse their anti straight men, anti white people propaganda.
Plus, Lee is an excellent character and very likeable (so only a minority of hardcore white racists didn't like him).

On the other hand, Assassin's Creed Shadows came out this year, and was developed during the Biden administration, when the anti-white and anti straight men activists were still very influential in the AAA industry thanks to ESG and BRIDGE activist investor money.
To make things worse Yasuke is a black man in a game where it would have made way more sense to have a japanese character, so he's naturally seem as a cheap TOKEN and as a foreigner humilliating the local japanese men by easily beating their warriors. Plus Yasuke being made a SAMURAI (when the original real life Yasuke was only a retainer), so it adds insult to injury to everyone who wanted a japanese protagonist.
Finally, the choice of protagonist of AC:S being black came out after a trend of very dubious historical revisionism in media regarding black people, that while WELL INTENTIONED (to integrate blacks into the histories of countries they live in so they grow to like the countries more) it backfired in the cases where it doesn't make any sense. Like this one (blacks are a super tiny minority in Japan so they stick out like a sore thumb) and some others related to ancient egypt that seemingly make it look like most egyptians were black (when those were actually the nubians).

Tl;dr: The bottom game is BLATANT political correctness (and done wrong) and shat all over the expectations of an Assasin's Creed in Japan.
>>
>>729687632
There are many black people in modern Georgia.
You have to bend over backwards to find exactly one black man in feudal Japan. The first time you play as a real person in Assassin's Creed just happens to also be the one time that your character's race makes no sense for the setting. Ubisoft got mad that people played as Alexios and male Eivor, so they asked: what do gamers hate more than women? Niggers, especially when shoved into places they don't belong. Everyone asked for Assassin's Creed: Japan, but no one wanted to play as Nobunaga's pet.

That's precisely the complaint they pre-empted this way
>>
>>729690794
I should have put an "otherwise" in there. When people asked for Assassin's Creed: Japan, it was implied and assumed that everyone wanted to play as a Japanese man, not the singular black man in the country at the time.

The difference is, firstly, that this comic is mocking the white boy's attitude, and secondly, that he was still willing to give the game a shot and change his mind

>>729687632
If you want to have blacks main characters and them being well received:

1) Make them very likeable to gamers
E.g. Make them cool or sympathetic, ideally also physically attractive.
However don't make their positive characters traits too high in intensity or make them flawless because nobody likes blatant tokenism (it's justly perceived as dishonest). Having some character flaws (in moderation) is good too. Gary Stus are boring at best and obnoxious at worst.
All of this btw applies to main characters of all races.

2) Put them in a setting where it makes sense, or where they don't clash too much with the rest (and if they do clash a lot, make a believable justification for it. E.g. They recently came into the setting as travellers).

3) Make them friendly to people of other races, specially to white and asian men (i.e. the men who are bashed by the pseudo progressives nowadays). Don't make them assholes or act as a mouthpiece of any activist group that hates gamers.

Essentially, make them the kind of characters most gamers would like to have as friends (or even love interests if the characters are female).

E.g. Everyone likes Barret from FF7 because he's a badass with a heart of gold, takes care about the daughter of his dead friend, fights to save the world and even thought he curses a lot he's also thoughtful about others.

Lee from TWD is universally liked because he's a tragic hero that you can't help but root for. Also he takes care of Clementine and is a very rational and sensate man in a post apocalyptic world where other people are losing their minds.

Rodin from the Bayonetta games is universally liked because he's cool as fuck and more competent and stylish than almost all the other men in the series.

Examples from outside of games:
Most gamers from all races like nerds like Steve Urkel because they're very relatable.

A lot of white men like comedians like Eddie Murphy, Dave Chappelle and Chris Rock because they're funny and smart and aren't afraid of being edgy sometimes.

Everyone likes Blade because he kicks ass and is very stylish while doing it. Kind of like a black Dante but in movies. Too bad Disney shelved him because he's too violent for modern Marvel same as The Punisher.

Everyone loves Will Smith (except his harpy of a wife).

And regarding female characters, it's quite simple:

Make them pretty (cute) or beautiful (sexy), and make them attracted to main male character(s) of the party.

The vast majority of console and PC gamers are straight men. While hot lesbians have their audience, most gamers would rather romance the girls over just watching.

Oh you're one of those actual single digit IQ retards who imagine what The Last Samurai was about based on your reddit discussions.
Hint: It's not about Tom Cruise being a samurai of any kind. Ken Watanabe is the titular Last Samurai in that movie. Cruise's character is writing a journal glazing him and Japanese culture.

Since no one else is actually engaging, Lee was a fantastic original character who was well written and had an ending so good most people cried. The nog in AC is based off a historical fiction and not only ruins the entire concept of the game, was only made to piss gamers off. I really don't care that much, but yeah, not buying something intended to make me upset or feel out of place obviously. I know this is bait so you should hang yourself immediately, this is for people who might actually be serious

It's more like black man (in setting which makes sense) vs black man (in setting which makes no sense).

Actually the Shadows debacle would not nearly have been as bad if Ubisoft simply said "duh it's historical fantasy, we just liked the idea" but no they tried to double triple quadruple down saying no he totally was a samurai, because some white guy in love with the idea against all actual Japanese scholars wrote his own Wikipedia article and book about it. Oh and fuck what the Japanese say they're not ex-slave/colonial minorities so we don't have to pretend to be nice and listen to them. All that shit was a real eye-opener how these people really think and operate, if there were no virtue points to be gained making a period accurate char and setting they didn't wanna do it vs shoehorn in a woke black man with rap music for the boss fights.

San Andreas and The Walking Dead don't insult white people's intelligence by implying that a 6 foot tall black man walking around in Bushido regalia totally happened back in feudal Japan. Spoiler: it didn't, the nog at best carried Nobunaga's swords around like a servant. But liberals just kept repeating that Yasuke was totally historically relevant and real, so you have to accept it chud. Nobody had to write articles about why gamers needed to accept CJ or Lee.
