Trying, and failing, to construct a succinct twitter joke about Ubisoft being the reincarnated spirit of 19th-century French academic art

I swear the parallels are hilarious

Making huge money repackaging tired traditional tropes forever, with absolutely world-class technical execution, sold to rich American dudes

Huge art movement rising up to do wild experimental creative work, defining themselves largely in opposition to the academics

There's a really good joke tweet in there somewhere I just can't find it

sorry

I guess I could just RT Honoré Daumier with the hottest takes of 1864

s/Venuses/open-world FPSs

That said, despite the validity of said criticisms Assassin's Creed II and William-Adolphe Bouguereau were both pretty good videogames
