The X account @AssassinsCreed ratioed Musk after notorious video game critic Grummz criticized the Ubisoft team behind Assassin's Creed: Shadows for sponsoring leftist Twitch streamer Hasan Piker to play its new game, prompting Musk to weigh in by calling Piker a "fraud" and a "sell out" for promoting a "terrible game just for the money." Players also noticed that the publicly available game data shows that Musk is "playing from Asia or using a VPN to play from Asia," an inexplicable decision they chalked down to him hiring someone to "grind" at the game for him.
