PSN Outage Costs Capcom Lots of Money

PSN Outage Costs Capcom Lots of Money?


Capcom's Corporate Officer/Senior Vice-President Christian Svensson was recently asked what he thought about the PSN outage on Capcom's Unity Blog. Unsurprisingly, he's disgruntled, stating that this outage has cost Capcom "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."

He goes on to elaborate that while hackers have ultimately been successful in punishing Sony for "some perceived injustice," they've made it impossible to sympathize with them when they're "also punishing millions of other consumers and businesses."

Also on the horizon according to Cnet is a possible reward for anyone who leads to the apprehension of the hackers. Citing "people familiar with the matter," the story details how Sony is considering offering a reward, but it isn't for certain.

What would it take for you to turn in your fellow hackers? Maybe we'll find out soon enough.
