Capcom staying out of the SOPA row

News - Japanese publisher just wants to make games

Capcom has clarified their position over the ridiculous and unpopular SOPA and PIPA bills currently being discussed in the US.

Despite their membership of the ESA which currently supports the potential new legislation Capcom have refused to either support or condemn SOPA and PIPA preferring to concentrate on making games.

Capcom's Christian Svensson explained on their Capcom Unity site: "We've only ever stated that the ESA represents us in legislative matters. Inferring more than that is bad journalism ... The ESA is working with representatives to improve solutions to what is a real problem. At Capcom, we're game makers, not legislators. We do not have an internal stance on this particular issue and are not planning to. We'll get back to making games. Thanks."

He also reiterated the company's open position on community creation stressing that "streaming folks/video uploading have absolutely nothing to worry about. We've always been very accommodating to our supporters (and as this thread would demonstrate, even our detractors) and I don't ever see that changing."
