The creators of Assassin's Creed have shared a ten-year-old email it received hoping to find the player who sent it. The email details the player's dismay as their brand new copy of Revelations was chewed up by an emu, rendering the disc unusable.
“10 years ago, we received the most unique customer letter from an Edward S.,” the tweet reads. “DM us Edward, we have a few games we would love to give to you.” Those free games presumably include a copy of Assassin's Creed: Revelations which, if the email is anything to go by, Edward still hasn't played.
Edward's email begins with the player sharing their adoration of the Assassin's Creed series up until that point in their life, but that untainted love was forever blemished by Revelations. Not because of anything that was wrong with the game, but because of the unique circumstances that resulted in Edward not being able to play the game after a nine-month wait. Six months of saving their allowance so they could afford it, and another three waiting until they could go to their uncle's ranch where they kept their Xbox.
“I opened the game's case, laid the disc on the bed, and went to get a fresh cup of water from the kitchen,” the email reads. “When I returned, however, I bore witness to a ghostly scene… an emu leaning through my bedroom window and eating my game.” Edward eventually wrestled the disc from the emu's mouth, but the damage had been done. The game was so scratched, the console was unable to read it.
Heartbreak for young Edward who closes the email by revealing he couldn't simply buy a new copy of Revelations as they were saving their allowance for Assassin's Creed 3. The top reply to the tweet above is from someone claiming to be the Edward who sent the email. Probably not the Edward Ubisoft is looking for. Hopefully they played Revelations eventually and kept all future installments of Assassin's Creed away from their uncle's emus.
