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.'"

    It's offensive to tell other people that they're being offensive. It's not very polite.

    Next thing you know, Muslims will get offended by what a Danish person draws in a comic strip.

    Oh wait.....

  2. I'm already on an Activision Boycott... by skogs · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    but not because of some moronic need to protect the innocent. Seriously, their game developement cycle is horrible. I have 5 games purchased from them, all have fatal flaws, all have stupid issues with ai or somethingrather that make the game unplayable after a short time. All would be easily fixable, if Activision gave a damn. I just plain won't buy their products anymore because they suck. I've been down that road too many times.

    Hit and run name calling from an Anonymous Coward?

    Jeez. No point in responding to that. Grow some balls and take some accountability for your opinions if they mean anything to you.
