The money earned from Assassin's Creed isn't by creating value, it's given by others who are creating value. I'm genuinely surprised I'm getting so many people disagreeing with this idea.
That's because the implication is that entertainment has no value, and that sort of argument can be reduced to absurdity. Do we really need any comfort? Sounds like the whole clothing industry other than wool and cotton shirt/pant producers are useless and even then only for what's needed in cold weather.
Most dyes are useless,colors are only useful to write signage.
The only cars that are useful are the ones that have the currently most fuel efficient setup.
Do we really need safety features? We already have enough people and any dead ones can be replaced.
Does getting people addicted to heroin add value? Because people will exchange their dollars for that too.
Just because people pay money for something doesn't mean it adds value or creates wealth. Rolling Stones is a tough case, some entertainment is necessary, but at what level and cost is up for debate, it's not like I have all the answers.

Do you also believe the Rolling Stones didn't create any real value?
