I’ll be honest: Things aren’t great. Following a…
Benjamin Franklin once remarked—of his time starring in Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed 3—that three may keep a secret if two of them are dead. He was right, because the almost-certainly-upcoming remake of Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag is probably the worst-kept secret in videogames right now. People just cannot button their yaps about it.
