Who are these people and why should I care?

Wait…how exactly did Capcom sell out to Sony?

It was a big topic at the time. They went console exclusive with Sony, causing a lot of xbox fans to cry betrayal and speculate that Street Fighter would only do half as well with half the console coverage. As an xbox owner at the time, I made the jump to PC and haven’t really looked back, personally.
Anyway, it was quite widely circulated that Sony was bankrolling some of the production and they’ve been prominant sponsors at a lot of conventions and tournaments since.
It’s an old argument, but I saw it as a smart, modern move at the time, especially since they were offering cross platform play - Microsoft had beef with x-platform at the time.
Rumors were spreading that Street Fighter was dying for good, Ultra was their final breath, hell, even that Capcom were closing down altogether. This is only a year ago now and it already sounds like ancient history haha. Hindsight is a funny thing.
You can call it selling out, but I personally see it as a mark of recognition for fighting game fans, not that they’d ever ask for one, but Sony/Capcom saw an opportunity that potentially gave street fighter a new set of legs.

The game would not have happened without Sony. Capcom is in bad, BAD shape. The only console games they’ve done are SFV and Dead Rising, both funded by the platform holders.

RE7 should save their butts granted they don’t use that money to fund more western developed garbage

The fgc has survived long enough regardless of bullshit you are talking about.

You trying to turn this shit into reality tv drama for what? The casuals and the masses matter because why? The back story is motherfuckers put in decades of work to get good at what they do, and have been doing so without sponsors, without fuckwits wanting camera time, and with out Mary Jo Camel toe giving two shits about any drama that it might have held.

Instead of concentrating on the players they should you know concentrate on the game, teach people about the games and the history of them and THEN show the amount of dedication players put into it. That’s what football use to do, it sure as fuck wasn’t the shit show you are trying to bring(wrastling and ice road truckers? Kill yurself). They could show the tech that we use and how that shit has developed, and where it came from. Different gear used, stuff that players collect, all that jazz. History of consoles, arcade games, all the rarities included in such. The stories of the characters and how they changed and all the shit that made them popular.

Basically all the shit that got US interested in the scene, which I guarantee you had nothing to do with drama with your old fear mongering ass trying to get the scene to sell out, cracker plz.

Yes. Sell out. That’s exactly what needs to happen. SFV wouldn’t even exist if Capcom hadn’t already sold out to Sony

Yea and the game is turning into a real peice of shit so you’re really failing to sell us on why we would want more of this.

Why do we want this scene to grow if all its doing is getting us shit games? You’ve failed to give a compelling reason for why we would want any of this to hapoen. Bigger pots and prizes? 99% of the scene will never see any of that so why should we care about working hard to line other people’s pockets?
