As reported by Automaton-Media, Capcom decided to withdraw from CEDEC due to these threats. Although the official reason for their decision has not been disclosed, negative comments have been directed personally at the company’s employees.
Capcom also released a statement about its harassment policy. While showing appreciation for player feedback, the company mentioned that its staff had been harassed through customer support and social media. In addition, Capcom warned that it is ready to take legal action to protect its staff.
It is worth noting that Monster Hunter Wilds faced critical reviews after its release on PC, with players mainly complaining about optimization issues. As of writing, nearly 88% of recent Steam reviews are overwhelmingly negative. In response, the developers acknowledged the issues and focused on improving performance, but community feedback has remained largely unchanged.
MP1st’s review of Monster Hunter Wilds gave it a score of 9 out of 10, stating, “Monster Hunter Wilds is a great entry in a fantastic franchise. While there are a lot of mechanics to consider, the game’s tutorials should help most new players to quickly acclimate and join the upper ranks of hunters in no time.”
In other news, Capcom reaffirms that Mega Man remains one of its most important IPs, despite no new game entries since 2018.
