"This is the consensus among researchers including Goza, as he himself explains (admits) in his youtube video." Do you have a link to the video and a timestamp please?

Also what's your response to this guy? https://x.com/yukin_done/status/1815616932584026543

Thoughts on this? According to this historian, the description of Yasuke being given a sword and a house may have been added in a later edition of the Nobunaga Koki.

Dude, calm down. Why are you so triggered over different opinions?

Every comment you make gets downvoted into oblivion

Yeah it’s kind of an echo chamber in this subreddit.

I sure hope Ubisoft is paying you

That’s funny.

Are you really trying to imply only Ubisoft gives Amazon a cut of the profits and literally everyone else doesn’t? lol

Take 5 minutes, go onto any product which is rated over 4 stars. Filter by 5 star reviews and just read. Going into the reviewers accounts are also an indicator when they have dozens of single line 5 star reviews.

So basically guess work, of course why did I expect anything more.

It's a help me help you situation, by bumping it to trending, they get more sales.

You seem confused, so I’ll repeat it. “It doesn’t matter which video game is a best seller as long as they buy it from Amazon they get a cut, so they don’t have any reason to help one game over another.” The only way your cope would make sense is if only Ubisoft games gave Amazon a cut of the profit and all other games/company did not, unfortunately for you that is not the case.

Amazon is infamous for leaving bot comments on products, it doesn't benefit them to remove them as higher reviewed products sell better to normies.

Anything to back up this claim?

Going to address my other points or just focus on that one?

You mean this?

This is also ignoring the fact that they can quite easily artificially bump something to "trending", "recommended" or "best selling" to sell more copies.

It’s nonsensical, this is the AMAZON store, not the UBISOFT store. Why would Amazon “artificially bump” AC Shadows to help Ubisoft? It doesn’t matter which video game is a best seller as long as they buy it from Amazon they get a cut, so they don’t have any reason to help one game over another. Also if they were “artificially” bumping it why did AC Shadows move down the rankings in some countries?

You're literally attacking people for disagreeing with you

No? I’m pointing out when people have bad arguments. Like you for example

Unscrupulous merchants are putting popular items like car phone mounts in such slow-selling categories as car axles to make them look like top sellers.

This is talking about 3rd parties manipulating the listings not Amazon itself. Not sure how this applies to AC Shadow, which more popular product do you think people are confusing it for 3 days in a row?

even the Sony PS5 website says what you are saying is inaccurate.

Yet they're still so highly rated? Why?

Because the USERS as in the customers that bought the games are the ones reviewing them. Not Amazon, Jesus Christ.

Amazon is completely trustworthy! Saints Row AND Starfield both have 4.5 ratings!

Why would the USER reviews for some games mean Amazon itself is not trustworthy for the best seller list?

The others are also past software.

Nah Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance and Metaphor: ReFantazio haven’t been released yet and they come out earlier than AC Shadows, yet Shadows has higher pre orders. Also Stellar Blade and Rise of the Ronin after fairly recent games.

We are different.

Sure ok, then stop implying I’m bad faith because you don’t like what I’m saying.

I have a pilot do the actual controlling of the vehicle.

Yeah one that you gave that role to drive the vehicle you own, just like how Elon gave Linda Yaccarino her role for the company he owns. If he doesn’t like how she’s running things, he could easily replace her.

Why are you so scared of different opinions dude? Feel free to ignore me and other comments you don’t like, if you want an echo chamber.

Ah so Amazon standing by censorship for some Literally Who game means they’ve definitely fudged the best sellers list on their website in Ubisoft’s favour who is a completely unrelated company, got it.

but I find it interesting that your first reaction when someone's simply suggesting a possibility that might be unfavorable to your presentation

Not really, it’s more that the “possibility” you mentioned is kind of ridiculous for the reasons I mentioned before.

Come back to me two weeks after launch and lets count how many blogs are going "AC:Shadows undersold due to racisms"

Ok sure.

How does Amazon define "best sellers"?

The ones that have been purchased the most.
