Damn straight.
VGC is now covering the news.
And to the surprise of nobody, Reuben is trying to backpedal.

In the case of DQ, SE does not own the franchise but rather Yuji Horii if I'm not mistaken and I believe that Sugiyama has some financial stake in the franchise as well.
Sugiyama will be around until he dies, sadly.
I think JP pubs and devs do care, but the problem is that the DQ composer isn't just on payroll for SE; he has ownership of the DQ IP and all of its music, and SE can't do anything with DQ without his involvement/cooperation. Langdon is also a piece of shit and should be excised because he doesn't have literal ownership over the IPs he's part of, but he does run one of the most prolific mocap studios in Japan, which a ton of Japanese studios use.

We'll see how that goes come next time Dante or Ken need to show up.
That's what I'm worried about, especially since the statement they gave was basically a nothing quote.We'll see how that goes come next time Dante or Ken need to show up.
He dont want thruths being told to him but he'll keep on spewing his garbage ass ideals publicly?He is the sole reason why I do not want Dante in Smash. I don't want more Reuben in my game.
Also LMAO he blocked me some time ago and I must not have realized it xD
This is the exact same statement Capcom PR made two years ago when Langdon did his first round of BLM criticizing and sexual assault victim blaming while defending Vic Mignogna.
Yeah, they dont really care.This is the exact same statement Capcom PR made two years ago when Langdon did his first round of BLM criticizing and sexual assault victim blaming while defending Vic Mignogna.
I kind of disagree, though I've put in thousands of hours in SFIV and V. I will say I won't care one bit if they change it though.

The people who are defending him tend to be the exact same sort of right wing shitheads that he is and agree with his nonsense. They always get mad when one of their own gets rebuked for their shitty behavior.I don't see how people can defend his stupid shit. He's just a voice actor, he can be recast, I don't see why you'd fight that. Dude's a piece of shit. I know Capcom has an "excuse" but I really hope something is done about this, Karen Strassman, Quinton Flynn, and any other VA that's shown their ass recently.
If you supported the BLM protests you cannot be against the pro-Trump protests. However if you were against the BLM protests you cannot support ...
The original tweet (account?) she's replying to/agreeing with is now deleted but wasn't the actress who played Freya in God of War agreeing with a similar sentiment after the Capitol riot, too?
I can't find the original tweet she was agreeing with now but the Google cache shows the first part of it...
I'm half joking when I say I want DmC2, really, I'd rather have Donte then another Reuben Dante. I doubt there will be a DMC6 anytime soon, but I if Dante comes back, I sincerely hope it's a new actor.Nah, DMC5 doing as well as it did is proof that Capcom was right to return to the mainline games. The ideal solution is to focus exclusively on Nero until Dante is recast. Though hopefully Dante is recast ASAP to where it doesn't come to that if Itsuno doesn't want to.
Recast Ken as well, obviously.
The original tweet (well, but the whole account) she's replying to/agreeing with is now deleted but wasn't the actress who played Freya in God of War agreeing with a similar sentiment after the Capitol riot, too? Was basically equating the terrorist storming the Capitol with BLM protests and saying that if you supported BLM then you had to support the Pro-Trump riot.

This was posted in the PS OT, and while it was definitely not a good look she did follow up with this at least:
Thats all well and good but the resounding point she's agreeing with and parroting is that the riots and terrorists storming Capitol Hill are equal to the BLM protests. Her one addition to the dialogue on Jan 7th was to say 'I agree that violence - like with the BLM protests - isn't good!'
It's disgusting.

If it makes you feel a little better ken's voice is so generic and EZ to do that I can do the it myself without missing a beat. We don't need him.I kind of disagree, though I've put in thousands of hours in SFIV and V. I will say I won't care one bit if they change it though.

Capcom hire me pls
So just leave him alone to be a piece of shit?Not saying this about anyone specifically, but what I think a lot of people don't get when talking about replacing Reuben is, he's also contributed a lot past and present to DMC and Capcom beyond his vocal performances and mocap. He helped build and modernize Capcom's mocap and performance knowhow, and contributed a lot to the script and localization of DMC3 and to a varying degree on their later collaborations. He helped define the character of Dante as much as Itsuno, Shimomura and writer Morihashi. He's also close personal friends with the two former and many others at Capcom. And he and his team aren't just typical actors and performers. They're involved from very early on in their Capcom productions, particularly DMC. And he's active in the promotion of DMC games in a way that most performers, even Dan and Johnny, aren't. He is essentially one of the two faces of DMC, and is very respected both in Japan and internationally for his oeuvre.
Excising Reuben from Capcom and DMC isn't impossible like Sugiyama, but it's incredibly unlikely. It's not just about picking a new voice and performer.
Well if they can't replace him like you say then what are they supposed to do?

Who cares what he did for the series in the past. What matters is now. And what he's doing now is posting support for literal terrorists. Other companies can survive without him and his company, so can Capcom.🤷♂️
