Jade Raymond, producer of Assassin’s Creed, is one sad panda these days. And if Jade ain’t happy, UbiSoft is mad. After all, she and her team delivered one spectacular baby in the form of Assassin’s Creed. And if UbiHulk goes all green, it’s very bad news for Something Awful, which found itself staring down the barrel of a lawsuit after someone posted a particularly tasteless comic of Jade trying to convince nerdy gamers to buy Assassin’s Creed by giving them really messy head. While I love SA.com’s reply to the lawsuit and think that’s what you deserve for being a lawyer, I am aghast at some of the comments made by gamers worldwide in response to this.

Suddenly, people are calling Jade “a touchy bitch” and talk about how she was using her sex appeal to sell the game , to how UbiSoft was pimping her to sexually frustrated gamers to get them to buy the game. One comment at ActionTrip even reads:

Ubisoft are the ones who blatantly exploited Jade Raymond’s good looks and sexuality; every single interview on AC I’ve seen building up to the game’s release, every single presentation was carried out by Ms. Raymond.
