It still blows my mind that Ubisoft didn't really continue that sort of Open World seafaring genre at all

I get that there's probably not a market for that game yearly but I'd play an iteration on Black Flag every few years

I dont know. When I first heard about their game, I expected a neat pirate ship combat sandbox game, but instead it turned out to be a lame ass arcade shooter.

I dont recall seeing anyone happy about this, outside white knights on reddit.

It seems like there are a lot of niche game concepts and genres that are falling to the wayside as the major devs and publishers are more interested in dumbing things down for a larger, more casual (or in some cases more competitive audience). Hell Civ7 is sitting at mostly negative recent reviews after pulling that shit.

What was the point of having those students in the classroom in the first place?

Taking their (or their parent's) money of course

Trades would collapse if even 10% of the population switched to them. What does no one get about this?

Its all idiotic romanticisation. Thats why all the out-of-their-ass anecdotes involve someone who's more of an entrepreneur than a tradesmen as well.

Theres some bizzare analog of the noble savage myth, but applied to blue collar work.
