Heartbroken and no doubt frightened by the loss of yet another exclusive PS3 title, some Sony fanboys have taken it upon themselves to start a petition asking people to boycott Capcom to express their outrage. Let's see what they have to say: We (The people that have signed this petition) 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. Bad grammar aside, isn't it kind of silly to get so upset about losing exclusivity of a game that you'd boycott the very game that you apparently care so much about? It's not as if they wouldn't still get to play it. Get to the choppa! [Update: Capcom's Christian Svensson has issued an official response to angry fans, stating: "We are certainly moved that people are so passionate about our products that they would go to such extremes, 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." Put away your pitchforks, kids. Capcom still loves you.]

That's fanboys for ya. They whine when they lose an exclusive. They whine when they are dissapointed. They shove it in everyones face when they think they've won.
I'm sure we all see it almost every day.
Well that seems reasonable...
What? Why do they care? I could understand them being upset if Capcom were to ditch the PS3 version entirely in favor of the 360 one, but like you said, it's not like they won't get to play it.
They're pissed they don't get to feel superior for having played a game that others may not be able to. They're retards...The only way to win is by ignoring them.
QQ more
They're just upset that their PS3 is becoming more useless by the minute.
"Durrr, we'd prefer that you actually make less money than you deserve for making an excellent game and remain exclusive to only one console. kthx."
Sounds like they need a hug.
A hug from a very pretty, silver haired half demon boy they secretly think about while twirling their knobs.
STFUAJPG!!!1!
HAHAHA
This is really funny, albeit unnecessary,
I am personally boycotting EA, (1Madden and 2attempted Ubisoft hostile takeover among others)
Capcom is awesome I was a little offended that RE4 went to PS2, I felt that my friends who thought that the Gamecube was childish should have had to bite their tongue that Gamecube got RE4 and PS double didnt
It should have read:
We (the people who spent 400 bucks on a PS3 and didn't sell them on ebay) feel left out becuase you (CAPCOM) decided that you want to make more money by making DMC4 multi-platform. How dare you do this and make us feel unspecial.
sincerely,
lonely PS3 weaboo
Seriously, just kill yourselves.
Yup, those PS3 fanboys are getting desperate nowadays... =P
And the PS3s nosedive increases in angle...
I'd be upset too if I spent $600 on a shitty ass console whose only games worth playing are suddenly going multiplatform. Before you know it said games will be Microsoft exclusive! (They have the money if necessary)
Oh well, let them do as they wish. But this site is so full of XBots that is kinda useless to read the comments. Any little thing about Sony and they start posting stupid crap.
Whatever, Sony is doing great if you can get past all the bad hype useless people are posting daily. XBox is a great machine too. Each does there job and each gives gamers something to play.
wow, you know what's not funny? the fact that almost 2200 people have signed that rediculous thing. do they really think that petition matters, are are they just looking for a place to rabble-rabble? and omg, the things they're saying! they're all idiots!
@MrFenwick When sony starts performing then I'll start feeling better about my PS3 purchase until then it will sit and collect dust next to my hardworking 360
It's just good business. Sony's PS3 isn't being adopted by gamers as rapidly as the PS2 was, mainly because it costs more. It will get there, and then exclusive titles will be more feasible, but in the meantime it makes perfect sense for games to go multiplatform to maintain a title's profitability.
These people are hardcore Sony fanboys. What they are proposing is simply ludicrous: "We're boycotting your game because you're making it available to those OTHER gamers... as well as us." I mean, what? How juvenile do you have to be for that to make any logical sense?
STFUAJPG, drama whores.
Seeing as how I own a PS1, PS2, and a PSP, and enjoy playing each, I hardly hate SONY. I am disappointed in their launch, and lack of good games. Maybe in a year it will get better. But for 2200 people to cry about a game being made for another system in addition to their own is silly.
"Oh well, let them do as they wish. But this site is so full of XBots that is kinda useless to read the comments. Any little thing about Sony and they start posting stupid crap.

Remember, a year and a half ago, Sony could do no wrong -- the PS2 was still doing well, a solid line-up to come, and MS had just released a console that nobody could play long enough to figure out what was so good about it. I remember telling my friends how stupid they were for buying a buggy system, and I remember those systems crashing left and right.
A year later, MSoft in on top of the world. This negativity will change soon enough.
The first line uses the words "left out," yet the idea of making it multi-platform makes it accessible to more people.
The dipshits can still play it on their $600 doorstop, why are they crying?
Apparently they know nothing about the business world. Not that i'm surprised by their blind ignorance.
"i bought a ps3 for alot of money and i would be very greatfull if the console had some much needed support"
Here's one person who doesn't seem to understand that the poor performance of the PS3 market is largely due to Sony's constant fuckups, and the amount of money he spent doesn't convert to some special score in a console rating test.
3 Gen's ago sony didnt even exist and Nintendo & SEGA were capcoms best mates
REMEMBER GOOF TROOP!
It makes me LOL. Then I remembered that these people are for real, and I felt sad for them. Poor guys. It's like seeing a retard trying to eat ice cream but they keep getting it up their nose. No offence to ice cream eating retards.
My bet is that when the game comes out they won't boycott it. Fanboys don't have the self control to deny themself a game they want just because it didn't exclusivley come out on "their" system. I was tempted to email the guy that wrote the petition and call him a retard.
hahahaha, the avatar, hahaha, so good!
I've dealth with people like this online in forums. Asking for a certain game that's mainly on the PS2 and they'll attack you for it. Some will use whatever excuse too. And all it was was a simple request.
This has gone past pathetic and reached a whole new level. I can just see it now. Two thousand plus sobbing morons rocking themselves to sleep while clutching their Gamer Advisory Panel certificates from Sony and repeating, "It's all gonna work out." over and over.
I don't see what they're complaining about. It's not like the 360 or PC version will presumably get extras like the PS2's RE4 version got (as a Cube owner I didn't mind the game being given a PS2 version; I did however felt like they held on to Separate Ways just to give PS2 owners an incentive, which is much more than any late ports that the Cube got). Furthermore, who's to say it's going to be that great, though granted I wish the Wii got some of these games that are falling off the back of the PS3 truck.

1. This article isn't so much about Sony as much as it is about idiot fanboys who think they're petition is going to do anything. Seriously, I'm assuming these people have a PS3 at least so they should just be happy they get to play their game. If they bought a PS3 solely for DMC4, well, then that's what they get for buying the console so early.
2. No, Sony really isn't doing that well. They are actually an emberassment to the industry at the moment. Yeah, a year ago we were all laughing at MS and Sony was on top of the world and the roles have switched, but I don't think Sony is going to come back from this (they aren't going to go away, but I'm becoming more and more convinced the PS3 is going to do terrible). The have only had bad PR, there still are no good exlusives out any time soon, the games out on the system now are mediocre at best or easily found somewhere else, and the one decent thing they had going for them, Home, is going to be a disaster due to people being able to upload content into their home.
I'm sorry people, but the PS3 just isn't doing well and I don't see it doing well. When the official launch party for a system has a grand total of 80 people and their brand new console is getting beaten by the GBA, a system that is more or less dead, and the PS2, their legacy system that is releasing better looking games than most PS3 games, you can begin to see that things just don't look great for them.
I almost want to feel sorry for them. I mean, Sony is at-risk of losing a few hot exclusives. The whole PS3 situation, whether it becomes profitable in the future or not, is nearly a disaster at the moment. All the company has going for it is potential, which doesn't mean a whole lot now.
Then I remind myself that these guys are fucking bitches and they should get slapped with a big moist hand. Hard. And often.
Selfish little bastards. They aren't worried about the quality of the game or anything else. If they would really care about Capcom and the game they would realize that it is in Capcom's best interest to make it a multi-platform game to broaden the audience, hence bringing the quality game in the more hands than just the Sony crowd and having more people appreciate the game which is better for the game and better for Capcom. It's just it that Sony fuckbuddies don't want it so, they only want it better for themselves because they are selfish and ignorant.
Yes they deserve to die and I hope they burn in hell!
anyone here read jennifer government ? just got that eerie, indiana feeling again.
anway, that petition takes the cake for the day. news you just cannot really believe is real.... till you look at the sigs.
endnote:- how effective are these interweb petitioons anyways? i remember one to get adidas to make those team zissou sneakers a while back
That's a horrible thing to say. There is a simple reason that you have to respect fanboys. Who else would make our fast food and bring us our pizza? People like this aren't able to sustain in the real workforce because of their fragile ego and the fits they have to pitch as soon as their superiority feels threatened. Their sole purpose on this earth is to serve and humor those with normal intelligence. You fuckers need to learn to appreciate people like this.
What sort of message does this send to Capcom? It says "Sony fanboys are ungrateful" and won't buy their product. What will Capcom do? Release it to someone who will. IE, the 360 crowd. They're acting like spoilt children who are cranky because their brother got cake too! They're digging a hole that's only going to lose them more "exclusives".
And yes, I would like to see a version of RE4 remade for the Wii with shooting controls and the extra content.
I like how expanding platform reach makes the fanboys feel "left out," as they put it.
Hahaha, idiot fanboys.
I should make a sword out of XBOX360 DMC4 cases, and stab the petition starter..
..It would be wild.
Fucking crybaby fanboys.
I was going to post something insulting on there but no one reads that shit anyway. Online petitions never work, especially ones set up by 14 year old fanboys.
I just have one thing to say and that is
STFUAJPG!!!
@crizz: Where u found a ps3 for $400?
Well this is a sad ass sight... its like having sex with an ass with the ass...
If I get a MGS4 and FFXIII then ill be dancing naked... showing my ass...
i hate fanboys, I emailed the person who started this petition:
Wow, you are a really gay fanboy, aren't you? Your petition is the faggiest thing I have ever seen. I own a PS3, Xbox 360 and a Wii, and I can tell you (what is already reflected in the national sales data), that PS3 ranks a distant 3rd to the 360 and the Wii as far as it's quality and value to gamers. I don't think you know anything about simple economics, because if your beloved Capcom only made games for your beloved PS3, they would miss out on 8 million sales opportunities (10 million install base for 360 vs. under 2 million for PS3) for their game, which leads to less money for the company, AND LESS MONEY FOR FUTURE GAME DEVELOPMENT/INVESTMENT! Stop making retarded petitions like this, and petition the people who need it: SONY & Jack Tretton!! Until Sony can give developers a reason (or the know how) to develop quality games for their overpriced (Blu-Ray Trojan Horse) console, little fanboys like you will be crying all the way until Holiday 2007 (because not enough people will buy the overpriced, improperly marketed behemoth) when Nintendo or Microsoft completely dominates the market share of video game consoles.
HAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Maybe the petition was signed 2000 times by the same retard who started it? It seems logic and gives me a little faith in humanity! I mean, anyone who is over 13 and signed that piece of trash really needs to reconsider his life!
Anyway, making a quality game ONLY for PS3 cost between 10 to 20 millions and lets be honest, its not like EVERYONE who own a PS3 are going to pick this one up. So if you even want a chance to make a profit, you got no choice but to put it multiplatforms...
there is going to be a DMC cartoon are they going to boycott tv too. Also there are 2000 signs out it, how many do you think are bullshit i know mine is.
This is why Emo bitches shouldn't play video games.
I signed it but only to mock the creators.
How about they don't make it and NOBODY gets it?
Exclusivity is a fanboy wet dream and honestly if more games can be multi-platform they should be. As long as they give you a polished end-result who cares?
This is a new level of fanboyistic sad.
Here's to hoping they're removed from the gene pool soon by the as-yet-undocumented radiation escaping the PS3's internal nuclear reactor(why else is it that big?)
Now see, this is what I've been screaming for the past year or two. Why the hell would you be pissed off at a Company/Game/Console becuase it does something different? Seriously, STFUAJPG, but please don't do it over the interwebz, my ignore list is full.
im sure those fanboys felt ok when RE4 was no longer exclusive to GC and jumped onto the PS2
HA HA HA.
They are such big DMC fans they aren't going to buy the game.
HA HA HA.
"Yeah! I agree! Yeah! I'm not going to buy DMC4 either! Yeah! Wait? Why are we not buying it? What? No. I'm not buying it because since the first one it progressively went to shit. Oh. You guys are a bunch of pussies."
This is officially the funniest thing I've read all fucking day. These douche bags give "fanboys" a bad name. I dub these asshats as "fanbabies". You heard it here first folks, a new term for the whiniest of fanboys. They will forever more be known as fanbabies. So let it be written. So let it be done!
If I bought a ps3 I would be complaning every single chance I got.
There just making sure they didn't waste 600 bucks on a machine with no exclusives.
I am so happy I got a PC instead of a...PS-TRIPLE.
This is completely idiotic. How can a gamer benefit from exclusives? Hear this, fanboy: for every great exclusive game you get on your console, there's another great game you miss because another greedy corporation strongarmed a publisher into an exclusive release. How stupid is that? Blah. Multiplatform should be compulsory - but forbidden for Disney. ;)
ok i might be completely wrong here , but ...
my guess is that CAPCOM could give a shit less what
a bunch of cheeto eating nerds ( albiet their fanbase )
thinks about them making a game multiplatform due to the
fact they are a buisness and are trying to make as much
money as they possibly can off the work they produce.
So sony nerds , SHUT THE FUCK UP AND FIND SOMETHING
CONSTRUCTIVE TO DO WITH YOUR ORANGE COVERED FINGERS
THAT ARE USUALLY RESERVED FOR MASTURBATING TO HALF NAKED
PICTURES OF THE GIRL THAT PLAYS STARBUCK ON BATTLESTAR
GALLACTIA OR PWNING NOOBS ON WORLD OF WARCRAFT OR
WHATEVER THE HELL ELSE MEANINGLESS SHIT YOU DO WITH
YOUR DAYS.
Shit is funny as hell (I had a short attention-grabbing laughter burst here at Starfucks). Although I admit some loyalty to Nintendo, the majority of Big N fanboys aren't this desperate (as mentioned before with the case of RE4). I am not justifying any fanboyism, just an analysis.
Bring on more multi-platform next-gen titles. We can really see a one-on-one comparison between 360 and PS3 (and the Wii in occasional instances).
HOW DARE YOU BOYCOTT MEGA MAN'S GRANDPA CAPCOM?!! (Blazing blasters at full force...) PEW PEW PEW TO YOU PS-TRIZZLE TROLLS?!!?!! (Watch these fuckers boycott Sony next.)
lol, internet petitions... those always work out so well. Sounds like someone needs to go back to their hugbox.
I don't see the stigma of a game going cross-platform. It's not like they're going to lose the ability to play the game on their favorite console.
Wait, they are capcom fanboys and they are pissed at capcom for doing something to get more people to play it? The are fuckin' idiots! I love capcom and their games and frankly, I don't give a shit about this! I mean sure, I'd be pissed if capcom made say, Re5 Ps3 exclusive( of course not to the point where I would sign a dumbass petition), but they are actually complaining about a multiplatform game! These guys need a friggin' life!
Sorry, NLE, Uncle Topher doesn't tolerate spam in his comments. You fail, kthxbai.
These kids just need to realize that exclusivity is dead in this next-generation, save for first party titles. Pouting over DMC4 via an internet petition is an exercise in futility. Instead, try something semi-useful such as raising a shitstorm to get a PS3 version of Dead Rising.
Unfortunately, crap like this propagates a stigma that all PS3 owners are regretful early adopters, clinging to any indication that their purchase was not in vain. But in reality, this is not the case. Well, at least for Summa and I.
Exclusivity is bad for competitiveness and thus is bad for the market.
Personally, even as a predominantly PC gamer, I'd like to see every title to come to each platform that is able to support it.
don't you mean "Asses May Cry 4: DVDA"
yay capcom!
i was worried i was going to have to say goodbye to the dmc franchise but now that its coming to the pc, i dont have to!
and just incase any one working with capcom is reading this,
pleaassee bring over dead rising next. pleaseeeeeeeeeee!!1111one
lol
i understand a petition for NOT recieving a game...
but being MAD/GREEDY and not wanting OTHERS to
have it is just STUPID.
X360 is kickin ass !!
I would so do Dante, anytime. I'm usually very strict about stuff like this but for him and Johnny Depp I make an exception.
Needs a waaaaahmbulence picture
screw you guys. i'm taking my ball, and going home. no one gets to play.
I love the sheer idiocy of this "petition".
You see, if they really boycott Capcom by not purchasing any of their products the only one with a broken heart (and pockets) will be Sony (and whomever else). For there is still 360 and Wii to fulfill the needs in graphic power and unique gameplay.
cant wait to see what they do when MGS4 is
also announced as multi-platform....
I'm going to buy this game now.
this is all better for gamers...why cant they see that. sony fanboys are just mad they spent 600 bucks on something with no good exclusive conent when they already own a 360. hah
Sweet sony fanboy tears like chocolate drops on my tongue!
I don't think the fanboys thought it through if Capcom said STFU.
So? Petitions are nothing new, or newsworthy. Yeah, we all know that people can be fanboys, but I'm sure that I could find a few Nintendo/MS fanboy whatevers if I took the 3 minutes to look for em.
waaahbulance
Let us all cry together.
