You just have to love these hilarious messages forwarded by gamers to game developers. They not only express their total discontent when the company makes a change, but also refer to the issues using standard expressions that only lawyers and important spokesmen do, when talking something of great importance. A group of Devil May Cry 4 fans are absolutely outraged at the Capcom's decision to go multi-platform on the game, also launching it on PC and Xbox 360.
Nothing wrong so far, I myself aren't that happy that Tomb Raider isn't a PlayStation exclusive, but I didn't complain, neither to Core nor to Eidos about it.

Anyway, the angry fans went as far as posting an online petition to express their feelings in regards to the matter, threatening to boycott the company: "We feel very left out in your decision to make Devil May Cry 4 a Multi-Platform title and hereby agree to boycott your sale of Capcom affiliated games. This is due to your decision to turn your back on your most faithful gaming company. For years we have enjoyed games, we have reaped the benefits of your committment to Sony. We find it absolutely demoralizing for not only the gamers, but also Sony itself. We want you to know that will not, and should not stand for your actions, and therefore withold our option of buying your product."

So like, what were they hoping to accomplish with writing this petition and posting it on the web? That Capcom would send representatives to their homes, apologizing for going multi-platform on the game; "OK, we're sorry, it won't happen again just...just don't boycott us all right?!" Or maybe they just wanted to make a point, who knows, maybe they are aware that none of this will make even the slightest change but then, what does that say about them? That they need to get some, that's what. And commitment is spelled with only one T in the middle. That's one T guys.
