Let's talk "Language Support" - Because UbiSoft games can be incredible for education
As the title says - I am convinced that UbiSoft games, especially the Assassins Creed series, can be incredible for education. From a historical point of view as well as from a language learners point of view. See, I had the pleasure to enjoy AC:Odyssey on Stadia. All of those accessibility options, everything subtitled, easily readable, very well voiced - really awesome! Now, we are going into a new generation. Stadia .. from a tech point of view, for now at least, seems kinda left behind. So going with my Playstation 4 (soon 5) might be the way to go. However - AC games are known for not supporting various languages in the west, including, but likely not limited to Japanese.
Here I ask myself: Why do this? It might not be too many learners. Or not too many that really are interested in languages other then those they did grow up with. However - and this is me speaking out of experience - the number of people using games as a tool of gaining fluence in language is growing. I dunno by how much, but people get into Korean, Chinese, Japanese, they love the sound of their chosen language, they want to immerse themselves in it as much as possible, so .. why not give them the option? I mean the game already has support for all those languages. So .. why not make them available to people everywhere when those people do want to access those languages?
UbiSoft really does seam to be aware of their games capability of educating in regards to history. But they really, really seem to underestimate their ability to play a big support role in regards to language learning as well.
With this post, I of course am selfish in trying to convince UbiSoft to maybe implement a feature that I would really like. But maybe others do think like me, do see opportunities that come with multiple language supportet? If so, please do comment here, make this a big thread that maybe even gets an official reply. Who knows?
Anyway, thanks for keeping up with me for one longer read and thanks for your comments in advance :-)
