AAID boycotts GUN


More video games causing controversy? Say it ain't so. Today the Association for American Indian Development has issued a plea for consumers to boycott GUN, claiming the game promotes racism and genocide of first nations people. The game's depictions of scalping and false Indian rituals have upset the native community and are outraged. "If a game were created that had its hero slaughter, say African Americans, Irish, Mexicans, or Jews, would there not be an outcry of extreme proportions? ... Native people during this time were protecting their homeland, their way of life. Something that is instilled in good old American values." Expect Activision to respond within the week.

I can understand that they are mad but common RockStar has promoted the destruction of all forms of viehcles for years now. Meh

I find it odd you consider the first nations as vehicles. Are you perhaps some sort of body hopping spectre?
