Activision Responds to American Indian Boycott

JorgeDeLaCancha writes "As previously reported, the American Indian Development has begun a boycott of Activisions game GUN. Activision has quickly responded. From the article: 'Activision does not condone or advocate any of the atrocities that occurred in the American West during the 1800s. GUN was designed to reflect the harshness of life on the American frontier at that time.'"

    The responses in this thread are disgusting. Out of all the groups on the planet, one of the few that has a good reason to complain about their treatment does, and we get 5,000 slashdotting gamers, kiddies and overall fucking idiots showing up to tell the world why the American Indians should shut the fuck up.

    By the way, they're doing this the right way, with a boycott, instead of trying to pass legislation. All they're doing is not buying the game.

    The computers get smarter, but the people never do. Go play World of Warcraft-- they have a nice new policy of not allowing minority groups.
