Capcom Impossible to Be Sympathetic over PlayStation Network Outage

With hackers that is.

Capcom Impossible to Be Sympathetic over PlayStation Network Outage
So, the PlayStation Network is probably to going to cause a high profile 'resignation' from Sony before the month is out. Could it be in the third-party liaison department? Could be if Capcom's Corporate Officer/Senior Vice-President, Christian Svensson, has anything to say about it.

Answering questions on Capcom Unity about how he feels about PSN's outage, Mr S' responds:

"I'm frustrated and upset by it for a number of reasons."

He then details those reasons in a frustrated and upset way, "As a consumer, I also play games online on PS3, which I can't do... and likely my personal information is also compromised. Secondly I like to buy things in the PlayStation store and that I can't do right now."

Then the nub of the matter, "On a related note, as an executive responsible for running a business, the resulting outage obviously costing us hundreds of thousands, if not millions of dollars in revenue that were planned for within our budget. These are funds we rely on to bring new games to market for our fans.

In short, the hackers appear to be trying to 'punish' Sony for some perceived injustice, and they've been effective in that I suppose. But they're also punishing millions of other consumers and businesses which makes it impossible to be sympathetic to their 'cause'".

You've got to agree with him there.

completely agree, what these hackers who for some reason feel have been done an injustice by sony for prosecuting someone who illegally hacked a ps3 system dont seem to realise not only are sony completely in the right for taking that course of action but by trying to take revenge on sony they are causing millions of innocent gamers no end of hassle not just because of the lack of onlline capabilities but the stolen data how is stealing the personal information of gamers taking direct revenge on sony its the gamers who are losing out in the long run.

In future, please at least consider the idea of using punctuation. Reading your comment made my head hurt :(
