Activision issues apology, no plans to recall Gun

Feb 3rd 2006 3:53PM (Joystiq)
I am Native American. I have played the game GUN. I was upset about it. Yes tribes fought each other back in the days... but did they want to exterminate each other? No. But our gov't. wanted to kill them all off. And when they realized that would just be "too much" for them, they (like someone said above) took the children, cut off all of their hair, made them eat SOAP if they spoke their own language and did other awful things to them. The gov't. unjustly killed women, children, elderly men and did not care one BIT about our ways and customs, only about the land they wanted. So to people who are not native, we look like whiners. But let me ask you... were there laws on the books for YOUR death? Was the gov't offering $25 to kill you as a reward? Anyone who killed an indian got a reward. So don't expect us to lay down and stop complaining and take things lightly because that's not going to happen. To native's, this game is offensive. What if it were white slave traders and slaves, and they had to lynch all of them and kill them all... would you be mad that black people were complaining? Probably not. How about you guys learn how to stop being ignorant instead of asking native's to stop complaining about things that actually happened to them.
