Whether or not Fox and EA actually did conspire to push Bulletsorm sales, Epic Games president Mike Capps thinks that the controversy -- inadvertently or not -- did serve to help the game is Epic Games president Mike Capps.

"Yes, there were people who were very excited about any attention at all," Capps told IndustryGamers last week. "For a game that's over-the-top, they probably helped sell more units than they convinced people to pick at us. What was most exciting about it for me [was the reaction from the media in the industry defending us]. Every journalist said this Fox report is junk... It's wonderful to see a media that's defending free speech."

"As for what it does for the industry as a whole I think it's terrible," Capps added. "There are people who really respect Fox News' opinions and look at that and are [convinced that video games are bad]."

Bulletstorm has received both very positive critical reaction and high sales figures since it launched late last month.
