I'm disrespectful to dirt!
Sure it's a piss-off-the-consumer mistake, but it's definately not a business mistake. Shipping in March means they will make the fiscal year, and that's a big deal to a company. Almost as big as shipping in time for Christmas.Originally posted by Ammadeau
This is a sales mistake of Sega proportions. I hope they don't bother pressing too many copies because these are just going to sit on the shelves.

It's a 'not sell nearly as many copies as they were going to' mistake. Even the copies they sell, I bet they'll get a lot of returns from people who hadn't heard that live was pulled from the game. Seriously, they shouldn't bother pressing more than 10,000 copies.

*insert witty remark here*
Yep, scratch this game from my list. Then again, I was only going to buy it to support the XBL 2-D cause.
Too bad about those legal problems, eh?

I know, I'll blame my boss. Fuck you Divo, for making MvsC2 non-XBL compatible!

What does activision have to do with all of this anyhow?
....not a button masher
I think maybe writing Microsoft and/or lobbying them for Live support ( an add-on disc or download can always be released adding the neccesary code at a later date ) is the best bet. Maybe their money can overcome these "legal" issues. This game isn't possibly going to be announced with online play on another console now, is it?Originally posted by FighterX

I was so mad today about Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 today not going on Xbox live that I actually went out and wrote them an e-mail.
Electronic cigarette.
They now own exclusive rights to publishing games with Marvel characters. Seeing as how MvC2 is chock full of Marvel characters, this created a bit of a legal tangle.Originally posted by ShineAqua

I think it's bull for two reasons:
1) This game was already released online in Japan for both DC and recently PS2.
2) The game was too near release for them to not have at least beta tested the live side of things, but has anyone heard any such beta testing happening? Now you know why.
This is PR bull. If it was true, they would have at least named the company in question, but by making it vague they avoid slander. I'm betting Capcom was just plain lazy.

I notice a couple bringing up the online DC point, but wasn't that direct connect, and therefore not really like Live? They're two different kinds of connections.
I have no idea about the online PS2 system.

All the Capcom online DC games in Japan were through Capcom's own special online service, which in a way makes it more like xbox live than other DC online games. No voice chat though, but its a modem connection anyway.
Don't know how the PS2 version works.
