I am aware of that. If you read in followup tweets, I have mentioned that. This decision could have been prevented back in 2005-06 had there been more cultural

  My apologies again, I only read the initial tweet. I recognize that I could be certainly more culturally aware. I'm just pointing out that as someone who works with many native Indians in America here on work visas and student visas, I was not aware of this phonetic reference and that is totally on me. I appreciate the sensitivity but I personally give the Gears devs a pass given that I am not sure it would have been reasonable to expect a phonetic search then page through potentially dozens of "Americanized" results to see their blunder. I think it is also unfair (in general) to accuse Epic Games of being not culturally/socially aware given their stewardship of follow up titles in the series.
