You're just too lazy to go look yourself.
As for death threats, you can be right that it has indeed been blown out of proportion, but that doesn't mean they aren't there. It's debatable how seriously you can take those death threats, since they just come from raging fanboys (and girls) who in a moment of weakness writes something unfortunate like "You deserve to die for this, Ninja Theory" or something alike, but I would still say that such one-liners are still considered death threats.
By the way, I'm lazy too. I don't want to spend my day on searching for said death threats, so it is up to you if you believe me or not. I have a feeling you won't though, as you seem to be very anti-Ninja Theory and don't want to believe anything that is just slightly making them be in a more positive light. It's okay, you don't have to like them, but the propaganda against them is a bit too much, in my opinion. I mean, I don't like the way Capcom handle certain things, but I don't do everything in my power to show the world my hatred for them (though hate is a strong word and I wouldn't say I actually hate them).
