Possible worst use of a video game petition ever: DMC 4

This has got to be the dumbest thing I've read all day. PS3 owners are mad at Capcom because other people can play their game. ::slaps forehead:: I don't understand people sometimes.

And they keep saying Capcom promised it was going to be a PS3 exclusive which puzzles me, I can find no such statements anywhere.

[Snapple]

Super dumb. I hope Capcom gets a good laugh out of this.

I can only think of one instance where a online petition worked (Widescreen release of "Willy Wonka") but other than that it hasn't amounted to squat.


I do like sig 8344...being a summary of the movie "Ghostbusters" and all.

[Nebagram]

Hah! Sony-worshipping fannies*! They'd probably be the first to point fingers if a similar thing happened 3 years ago regarding RE4 going multiplatform.

*-Originally had a different word here. Actually, had quite a few.

I don't know how you can follow up an act like that. Somebody had their sights set super high!

Oh, and did the WW widescreen folks confirm the petition had an influence? Thanks for the tidbit of info, by the way.

The day this was announced, there were people on Gamefaqs (I know, I know) declaring that they were giving up gaming entirely because of DMC4 moving to two systems. This wasn't a person or two...it was posts with 200+ people crying.

This is pathetic "fanboyizm" at its worst. Completely embarrassing and illogical. If DMC4 was going from one system to another...I might understand. But it's not. It's still on the PS3!

I wouldn't doubt if a few DP'ers signed the petition. Especially the vocal minority who cry about this supposed "PS3 hate" at DP. I'll never understand Fanboys.

[Richter Belmount]

WAaaaahhhhhhhhh!

I particularly like my comment....signature 8410.

I just wanted to add that within the time I submitted my signature, and posted this reply in this thread.....there were a few more signatures added... damn it my DP comrades.

I *think* the Willy Wonka Widescreen petiton worked. There was a talk by the studio to do an SE of the movie but only make it fullscreen as it was seen as a "kids" movie. Word got around to DVD sites and the # of names took off on this online petition and suddenly there was an announcement that there would be a widescreen edition of the movie.

I have no real evidence to support it didn't help, but then I don't have any to support it did either. I just know that somehow, somewhere someone deemed a Widecreen release as feasible saved another movie from fullscreen mediocrity.


As for this petition:

#8299: I spread my butt cheecks for capcom any day. Sorry SONY, no a$$ for you, go f*** yourselves!

[agbulls]

Absolute.

Pure.

Unadulturated.

Lunacy.

I say every single day our country is full of capatalist-self-loathing-under-educated consumerist morons. Why do people have to continue to prove I'm right? I would love to be wrong! If you have a PS3 why would you care that another system gets DMC4? Maybe because you would prefer to talk about how your console "kicks da shznit outta yo system foo!"

I weep for the future.

[diskoboy]

WAaaaahhhhhhhhh!

You literally took the words out of my mouth!

[ChronoTriggaFoo]

If you're going to make a petitition, make it a worthwhile cause. This is THE single most stupid petitition I've EVER heard of. OH NO!! X360 owners will be let in on our gaming gem!? BOOFRIKKIN HOO!

So these bastards are saying that they only have loyalty to the Playstation people and none for the fine folks who came up with some great games for their system? They don't want the producers of such wonderful games to extend their profitability so they can afford to continue making gems!? Move aside Jack Thompson, you have company.

[Snapple]

I'm trying to think whether this is more or less sad than Zelda fans complaining about Gamespot giving Twlight Princess an 8.8. I mean, I've never seen people so pissed off over a game review. Sending the poor editor death threats and the like.

Instead, we should petition Sega to bring their Sega Ages Wonder Boy compilation to North America...

[agbulls]

What do you guys think about creating a petition for Sega to stop putting Sonic games on Nintendo systems? Here's what I'm thinking...

We (The people that have signed this petition) feel very left out in your decision to Sonic the Hedgehog a Multi-Platform title, and hereby agree to boycott your sale of Sega 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 ANYONE that will publish your shitty Sonic games. We find it absolutely demoralizing for not only the gamers, but also Sega 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.

Sincerely,

[SegaAges]

Man, those ps3 freaks are just mad because now they don't have an excuse for paying $600. I would be mad too if I dropped $600 to find out that I could have gotten a 360 with the same games.

And GAC, yeah, that is basically what I am thinking and was thinking the entire time I was reading that.

I have a hard time believing that wouldn't have happened anyway.

Devil May Cry? Of all the games to release a petition for...
