Boycotting a company for that reason is stupid when you could be boycotting them for a certain important guy in the company who revived the Street Fighter series being forced to work for the company even after becoming incredibly sick. Besides, AAI2 would have sooo not sold on DS by the time it came out (sad but true).
I don't have to boycott them because there is nothing they've released I feel I have to get ASAP anyway until Wright vs. Layton. I'll probably get Asura's Wrath used at some point because it looks cool.
Those aren't even the only reasons I personally boycotted them. They were doing so many stupid things at once that it blew my mind enough for me to say "No, I'm not buying anymore of their games". It wasn't just one minor reason like you're trying to make it out to be.
- Mega Man Legends 3 was doing well in development, and before they released a paid demo to determine whether they would continue it, they cancelled it
- Ace Attorney Investigations 2 never came to the west, with Capcom simply saying they would no longer localize the series for the west
- Marvel vs Capcom 3 being released followed by Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 less than a few months later with only a few minor changes
- Marvel vs Capcom 3 having on-disc DLC, which is inexcusable. It's like Capcom is the Japanese EA with these practices
- How Capcom wants to "play it safe" and only make money off Street Fighter or Resident Evil as of late
- That Resident Evil game on the DS never letting you clear the data on it, due to how Capcom wanted to sell more new copies instead of having people buy used
- Capcom tries their damndest to treat Mega Man with mixed signals and passive aggression, probably as a reaction to Inafune (creator of Mega Man) leaving their company, including giving him a really awful series reboot on iOS (a "social RPG") where he looks like a bastardized version of Battle Network Mega Man combined with Mega Man X.
- Capcom releases "Street Fighter x Tekken" with a severe case of on-disc DLC, and they react very negatively when hackers find ways to unlock the characters and use them without having to purchase the unlock codes.
- Somebody reports Capcom to the BBB (Better Business Bureau) for their awful on-disc DLC practices and they respond with something along the lines of how they believe on-disc DLC is no different from downloaded DLC
And of course, what you mentioned about that guy being incredibly sick is only icing on the cake. I recall hearing about how he was hospitalized and when he was finally released, Capcom wanted him to go straight back to work without so much as acknowledging that he was ever in the hospital.
Might try to watch it again later.
