The Stupid Gamer

A group of Sony PlayStation loyalists have sent a letter to Capcom expressing their anger and frustration over the decision to make the once-exclusive title a mutliplatform release. The letter, penned by a collection of Internet forum users, claims that Capcom is betraying Sony and fans of the PlayStation 3. Those who signed the letter have claimed that they will no longer be supporting Capcom’s efforts as a sign of protest.

So let me get this straight. They are going to punish Capcom by not supporting their upcoming release, right? So when Devil May Cry 4 releases and fails to match the 360 version in sales, how do they think that’s going to help Sony out? If anything, it will cause Capcom to be even more selective with their PS3 exclusives and just decide to put everything on the 360. Sony really can’t afford to lose more exclusives right now, so even if this group represents a small minority of the gaming audience, they still aren’t helping things out.

This is all reminiscent of Capcom bringing Viewtiful Joe, Resident Evil 4, and Killer 7 to the PS2. I remember Nintendo fans freaking out, so this isn’t anything special, but I remember it all turned out just fine in the end for both fanbases. Sometimes people just gotta learn to chill.
