Square Enix’s decision to release Final Fantasy XIII on the Xbox 360 in Japan, after repeatedly promising it would be a PS3 exclusive, has driven fans into a frenzy, with some becoming so angry as to begin delivering death threats to Square Enix CEO Yoichi Wada on his own Twitter account.
After the news of the port’s release became widely reported and confirmed as more than a mere rumour, irate fans descended upon Yoichi Wada’s Twitter account:
Is it true? After saying so many times it would never be released on the Xbox in Japan, if you really do release it nobody will trust your word again.
Say something!
You’re going to betray us after saying it would never come out? I’m cancelling my pre-orders.
You liar!
Lying to customers is how you do business, eh? I’ll never buy a Square Enix title again.
With all the illegal lies and misdirection about FF13 you made, I reported you to the ministry of consumer affairs. And you promised DLC and quietly abandoned it – you’re detestable.
Charlatan!
Stop your pompous waffling and resign! Haven’t you made enough money yet? Next time put a guy who actually loves games in charge.
What’s up with game developers? Practically everything they say is a lie…
Well done, Scrooge.
Hey Wada! What the hell is this about FF13 on the 360 in Japan? You kept advertising the game in all the mags as a domestic PS3 exclusive! If you go through with this nobody’ll trust you again… Honestly I hate you so much I’d like to kill you. Quit soon. This is your last chance.
You’d better be prepared to run, or you’ll be killed! At the very least you ought to be prepared for a few rocks thrown your way!
Whilst such threats can be dismissed as the standard ravings of Square Enix’s increasingly desperate fanbase, Japanese police will make arrests for less, and they certainly demonstrate yet another looming PR disaster.
Wada himself was conspicuously silent in the face on of the onslaught |
Death threats over videogames lol

| LMAO. Just goes to show that PS3 fanboys are one of the worst fanboy groups on the internet, and potentially in real life. |

| I have no idea why people are mad over this. You still get to play it on your platform.

| I don't want to boost our egos but when we ecksbawksers loose an exclusive we don't give death threats and act all spazzy (well, most of us). |

| well you do have to understand cultural differences.
also, i could care less for this game, or its exclusivity, but no one here has the right to say they cant be mad.
i wouldn't mind if all games were available for all systems, but that wont happen. and dont tell me you wouldn't be mad if halo reach was coming to PS3 at the last second. |

But FFXIII is different. It's BEEN multiplatform for a while, just not on a certain region. It was BOUND to happen. Final Fantasy has never truely been a "playstation exclusive". All the Halo games have been on Microsoft platforms only (Xbox, X360, PC). And if that DID happen, I don't think anyone would make death threats to Bungie or Microsoft. |
