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.
