I'm saying every time Capcom pulls the arbitrary exclusivity BS or shafts one fanbase, the people who get the goodies celebrate while the other side calls it anticonsumer BS, which it is.  Then, when the shoe is inevitably on the other foot because Capcom is a massive whore, the roles suddenly reverse with those selfishly celebrating the actions are suddenly enlightened and those  once enlightened suddenly start celebrating.  

 

Facts are facts:  Capcom shafted Switch owners on MonHun, shafted PS4 owners on Dead Rising, and shafted everyone but Sony with Street Fighter and it was bullshit every. single. time.

Glad we cleared that. But for me Capcom took the strategy that would generate more profit and aligned with their strategy for each game.

MHW wouldn't run ok on Switch, so no Switch version.

SF V they wouldn't have the funds to develop the game until a lot later, so Sony payment allowed them a lot earlier.

This MH wouldn't sell much outside of Switch because of MHW been release very soon and this being a lot "lower" instalment.

MS paid a lot for DR so they got it, perfectly fine.

Hipocrisy should be hold for false accusations without any evidence.

That Street Fighter V story is a crock, it was a straight money hat.  You think SF, one of the most lucrative franchises Capcom has, wasn't going to get a new entry in a relatively timely manner?  They were just hoping to use that line to dodge the PR fallout.  And the funds didn't help finish it, it just motivated them to launch it unfinished.

The DR thing wouldn't be a big deal if it was an MS co-owned IP and not a multiplat one that Capcom just auctions off to the highest bidder whenever they want to pad their bank account.

MHW situation would be somewhat understandable if Capcom hadn't been *massive* dicks and delayed the localization of XX and even denied it was coming over purely to shine a spotlight on World to the detriment of a large consumerbase.  I get it, the Switch's success caught them with their trousers down, somewhat understandable if a bit embarrassing given their success on 3DS.  But to deliberately delay the launch of XX in the west so that they can keep a spotlight on World, thus shafting an entire consumer base in the process.  That's just a massive dick move.  Imagine if it were the other way round, and they refused to localize World so they could hype up XX and gave the entire western audience on PS the finger.

And as for World not running on Switch, having played it in person, I have my doubts.  It depends on the efficiency and scalability of the engine, but I think it could absolutely deliver a satisfactory experience. Capcom just can't be assed.
