Activision's GUN Misfires With Native Americans
jkdove writes "Gamergod.com has published a news story reporting on the backlash from Activision's western shooter, GUN. From the article: 'In reaction to the content of GUN, the Association for American Indian Development has started a boycott against Activision. They have requested that certain explicit violence and stereotyping be removed from the game ... Ultimately, the Association for American Indian Development simply wants to see the content corrected in respect of the Apache people ... Even though the historical period portrayed in GUN was fraught with racism, Activision's decision to publish a racially stereotyped videogame represents a serious misstep in social responsibility.'"
The funniest part is the fact that the game sucked SOOO bad. Putting that game out to begin with was a mistake, now they even caused a boycott. Keep up the good work Activision.
Seriously- why does everything have to be PC?
It's not just PC, you can get it for all the consoles... : p
This guy's the limit!

Considering no one is buying this game anyway, what does this "boycott" mean to Activision? Three lost sales, maybe?

The Association for Hell Minion Development boycots id software.
Analogies don't equal equalities, they are merely somewhat analogous.
Fine, I'll boycott their casinos.

I know the American Indians have been waiting a long time for this, but finally the United States is taking a stand against the foriegn invaders from Europe who usurped their lands. The Department of Homeland Security will provide the protection we need from attacks on American Indian's homelands and while it will probably take a long time, rid this country of it's invading anglo-saxon hoards.

I think the complaint was that several pages include a topless woman. Of course, if I can't even find Waldo ...
