In a shocking turn of events, Capcom has canceled an anticipated lecture on the optimization of "Monster Hunter Wilds" scheduled for the upcoming CEDEC 2025 conference in Japan. This decision comes amid alarming reports of harassment and threats directed at its development team.

While no official explanation has been provided for the cancellation, many speculate that it stems from the backlash the developers have faced since the game's launch. The PC version of "Monster Hunter Wilds" has notably attracted criticism, prompting Capcom to commit to significant improvements for its players.

Despite the rollout of Title Update 2, which aimed to address various performance issues, responses have been mixed. Capcom acknowledged several persistent bugs and shared updates via social media, including Twitter.

However, the situation escalated further when Capcom confirmed that its staff had been subjected to severe harassment through social media and customer support channels. Reports revealed targeted threats against individuals, forcing the company to consider legal action against the worst offenders.

While the cancellation of the lecture remains officially unexplained, the timing alongside these harassment incidents raises significant concerns about developer safety. It's essential to note that while constructive criticism is invaluable, crossing the line into harassment accomplishes nothing and undermines efforts to enhance games like "Monster Hunter Wilds."

On the brighter side, Title Update 2 has been released, and feedback suggests players are enjoying new challenges, including an exciting encounter with the fearsome Lagiacrus.
