Yeah...it doesn't make much sense that a French Canadian company is making a game that is set in the timeframe of the American Revolution (Not a bad thing, just kinda ironic).
Now I'm Canadian myself (Just not French), but the irony is just...there...
Why does it not make sense? The nationality of the country hasn't affected where previous games were set... It's to be expected that no time frame/setting is off limits.
Well when you consider that France and Britain went to war against each other when settling in the 'New World', and later those same British colonists revolted and became Americans...it's kinda ironic. ESPECIALLY when you consider that the later-formed Canada and America were on bad terms with each other (Canada was considered loyalist since we got independence through diplomacy, while America was seperatist to Britian through revolution) and now in modern times we have French Canadians (Who may or may not be descended from the original French colonists) are releasing a game about a period in time when everyone was kinda against each other for various reasons.
So overall it's kinda situational irony, but it won't actually affect how good the game will be.
I understand all of that, but calling it irony is kinda a bit of a stretch in my opinion. I mean, there have been french and british characters in previous ACs. And as is reminded at the beginning of every AC game, it was made by a multicultural group of people. Just looking at their interviews you can find french, american, canadian, australian, and many other nationalities, just among the most prominent devs alone.
So, yeah, I get what you're saying, but I don't really consider it ironic. After all, the Revolution involved many, many different countries. Most of the game studios in the western world come from a country involved in it.
