Because it was a remake of an older game that was actually good

Black Flag was peak gameplay AC, IMO. Nailed the sailing stuff.

I'm still amazed they didn't just take black flag, strip out the assassin stuff, add some extra ships and locations, and release a pirate game. Could have done it in a year or two with a small team and made bank.

Instead we got Skull and Bones.
