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 is also important to note that the term "Native American" was invented by the US government during the beginning of the 20th century as a means to completely invalidate all previous treaties with "Indians."
