DMC 4 online petition

Sorry if this has been beaten to death but I just find that absurd.  These people feel as if some great injustice has been done to them, but instead it's them that are injust.  They're just acting selfish and childish.  What did Capcom do wrong?  Nothing.  It would be one thing if they weren't making it for the ps3 or were discontinuing a beloved franchise, but they are doing neither.  All they are doing is making a praised game more widely available.  How is that unfair or unjust?  At no point were they ever under contract to these people.

 Someone explain this to me.  Because all I see is a bunch of selfish and childish fanboys making an absurd and ultimately fruitless online petition.

    Like a company would listen to a petition. Most everyone who "signed" it will just break their word and buy DMC4, and there is a far larger installed base for the 360 right now than the PS3 anyway.

    No company in their right mind would say, sure, we will spend all this money to develop a game, but we only want to sell it to a potential audience of 2-3 million (PS3 only), instead of one that is 12-14 million large(PS3 and 360 combined).

    Responding is not rescinding. They would respond, but most companies are not willing to forgo millions of extra sales to appease a few thousand fans.

He continued, "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." He later locked the thread, stating that it had "run its course, gone off course, rolled down a cliff, hit a cow, and then exploded."

psh, yeah, he really sounds like he's regretting it :roll:
