It's the latter. Even if Tencent tried to set them up, Ubisoft still had to be retarded enough to think it was a good idea and go along with it. This is completely self-inflicted.
No Chinese person put a gun to an Ubisoft employee's head and said, "Make your Star Wars main character look like a human mop." I hate how Ubisoft is given no agency in these "poor Western company was sabotaged by China" excuses. Ubisoft had plenty of opportunities to say "no" to this woke bullshit, but they didn't. Because they're both greedy and true believers.

Plus those games were pretty standard Western woke shittiness.
