Capcom Responds to Resident Evil Religious Criticism

[dalek sec]

Damn! Outstanding answer Mr. Tan, I salute you. *salutes*

 

[aruseusx]

Completely and thoroughly told.

 

[ohgodalex]

Once again, Capcom reminds me exactly why I love them.

 

[Gigano]

Awesome response, all to often the church is not put in its place when it talks about stuff it doesn't know anything about (I doubt that bishop has played or even watched RE5), and which is relevant only within its own subjective (i.e bizarre and often harmful) dogmatic belief system. Way to go Capcom!

Snip.

Slight clarification: Resident Evil isn't technophobic so much as it is a cautionary statement about mega-corporations and the MISUSE of science for military means. If you check out the backstory, the origin of the T-Virus was actually an attempt to do something good... it's just that the leaders of Umbrella saw military potential, and took the project to the level of making a bio-weapon.

*Big Resi-nerd here*

Anyway, while it's true that the religious people in question failed to do proper research, it's also sort of stupid for Capcom to respond like this. All it does is attract more hate and controversy... and more than likely it's going to inspire a lot of retarded anti-religious comments in this thread. They should have tried a more polite approach.

Quite a surprising cross sent back to the clergy. Keep an eye on this guy.

Scott? How long have we both been in this forum? Since when have you known any topic, about ANYTHING said on this board that has not inspired at least one troll to take pot shots at religion?

This could have been about Capcom and Pope John Paul II drinking tea and discussing the merits of Australian engineering and you'd still get the same effect.

" Unfortunately the clergy is showing a lack of understanding of the videogames industry and is too quick to splash the holy water and lump videogames players into stereotypical boxes.

"

PWNAGE!

 

[Kinguendo]

Ah, its just the religious of England needing attention because we dont care about them... How else are they going to get the attention of young Brits faster than attacking video games?

 

[Boaal]

That's gained my respect. Now I hope other companies follow suit.

 

[annoyinglizardvoice]

Capcom I salute you. You have my sword.

and my axe

And my stinging social commentary

Seriously, much respect to Mr Tan.
Embarassing that it was British folks doing the nonsensical preaching his time round.

 

[Mordwyl]

Knight ate the Bishop. Checkmate.

'nough said.

"This is scaremongering and typical religious hysteria. You cannot blame society's ills on video games. It's just absurd."

My thoughts exactly. Now point this type of statement in the direction of the media and politicians and make sure it's public and I'll say job well done Capcom.

 

[GamingAwesome1]

Capcom just earned my support, it's about time someone stopped and hit back at those xenophobic bastards jumping on anything they get the chance to.

Just proves two things.

A.) Multi million dollar coporations can make sense and not be evil
B.) Non-gamers shouldn't have any fucking say in video games whatsoever!

 

[Psychophante]

Well done Capcom guy. You can come over to my house and **** my sister.

 

[FailingwithStyle]

CAPCOM.. YOU CAN DO NO WRONG

 

[Tears of Blood]

We need more people like this.
