Capcom Answers Angry DMC Fans

Remember yesterday's news about those Devil May Cry 4 fanboys writing to Capcom threatening to boycott them? Of course you do, you can't forget something like that. Well, in case you were wondering when Capcom was going to answer, or if the developer was going to answer at all, it happened and quite early. Senior director of strategic planning and research Capcom, Christian Svensson answered angry Devil May Cry 4 fanboys, via their Capcom forums, saying that going multi-platform on the game was the nest choice for both customers and developing company:

"We are certainly moved that people are so passionate about our products that they would go to such extremes," said Svensson. "At the same time we feel that allowing more people access to our content pleases far more people than it displeases (after all, we're not denying DMC4 to anyone that was already going to get it). [...] It really is the best decision for the company and for consumers."

That's shutting someone's mouth. Sure, we can understand their discontent on the whole matter (wanting to keep the title in the PlayStation line of games and all), but going as far as posting a threatening message to the developing company, that's just spoiled brat attitude if you ask me. How long until GTA fans start screaming in Rockstar's year that they're total jerks allowing Xbox 360 gamers to play it as well? Maybe they've got more sense in them and will suffer in silence.

DMC4 will indeed launch on both PC and Xbox 360 platforms, yet Capcom still has to announce a release date for them.
