Activision Responds to American Indian Boycott

Posted by samzenpus on from the Ira-Hayes-will-not-play-this-game dept.

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.'"

    I'm sure they'll be devasted at by all of their lost sales to American Indians.

    You fool! Circling the wagons makes it easier for the attackers to encircle you... instead, square your wagons, force them further out when trying to encircle you.
