Assassin's Creed Shadows' lead knows the open-world hit's in-game shop is divisive, but it apparently pays for all the free Assassin's Creed updates we've been getting, both good and bad.

Ubisoft has been running the Animus Shop, or an equivalent real-money store, in its Assassin's Creed games for at least two console generations, stocking its digital shelves with everything from shiny loot, unique mounts, XP boosts, in-game currency, and fancy cosmetics - and Assassin's Creed Shadows is no different.
