VGC has reported that voice actress and “London-based journalist” Helen Lewis will receive a Watch Dogs: Legion patch. He appears in two podcasts within the game world, and in them, he talks about the threat of fascism (in Watch Dogs: The fictional world of Legion). The reason for this removal from the game is that his views on the genre recently caught the attention of Ubisoft.

In 2017, Lewis published an article in The Times (as reported by Jezebel in 2019) saying things that can be considered transpopian in our modern world.

“A man cannot just say that he has become a woman. What the government is proposing is a radical rewriting of our understanding of identity: it is now about an inner essence, a soul, so to speak. Being a woman or a self. man now it’s completely in your head. “

Now these statements are back to haunt Lewis in late 2020 as his appearance in Watch Dogs: Legions has drawn negative attention in Twitter and in Reset Era. Ubisoft has provided a statement to Kotaku saying that it will be removed from Watch Dogs: Legion.

“We learned of controversial comments from a journalist whose voice-over performance appears on two podcasts of the game on Watch Dogs: Legion. Neither Ubisoft nor the game reflect the views of this journalist. — While podcasts from the game follow a pre-approved script and are not speaking on their own behalf or with their own opinions, we understand that this collaboration itself may be viewed as offensive and we deeply regret any damage this has caused. In response, we will replace these two podcast episodes in one next update and will strengthen our background checks for partners going forward. “
