Your money disappears you get nothing for it other than a nod. So if we as fans stick in $10million between 60,000 and the game turns another $10 million in profit - that goes straight in Yu's pocket (as if its sucessful expect publishers to queue up to fund it properly for S4). We don't have an option to invest, which is why many people are pushing for these requests. Kickstarter hinges on funding niche or new projects by getting you to buy the product before its finished or developed. That's even worse than the usual Kickstarter rewards, that basically makes it a charity case. Not because they are worried about what they are or are not getting with their pledges. We want people to donate because it's Shenmue 3. They shouldn't really have offered the game at all in the rewards. I don't think people really understand what a donation drive is all about. I wonder if any of those refusing to pledge because of it have ever purchased a game on the App Store. I've never understood the need to have a physical copy of a game. Good for Sony I say (as I stated in another thread) - I am full on buying a PS4 just for this (and whatever else takes my fancy) and hope many more do as well. I know I will be thanking Sony with the purchase of a PS4 that I otherwise had no intention of picking up. They are also going to put a lot of marketing behind this game come release time, which will be another huge favor that hopefully results in big profits for YSnet and making Shenmue 4 possible. Sony did a huge favor to the series in even allowing Yu to offer PS4 download codes, seemingly free-of-charge with the rest of the money going to the development budget. Joined: April 2005 Location: England, UK PSN: NeoShredder5 Favorite title: Shenmue II The money needs to go the development at the end of the day. Hell, them even giving free download codes is nice enough. They aren't going to physically publish copies for free. If you want a physical PS4 copy as a reward, then that means the KS money needs toīe shared with Sony. That right there is proof that the KS money is going to Yu and not Sony. So Sony is going to do a physical PS4 release but it's going to be published under them. Since Sony is punishing the PS4 version, they aren't getting any of the kickstarter money unless Yu pays full price for Sonys physical publishing and distribution. Sony will ONLY give download codes for PS4 because they don't count those as physical sales. Now workingīut basically what I believe is going on is that Yu is self publishing the PC version. My experience with this comes directly from dealing with MS and Sony last year on a game I worked on for 360 and PS3. I'm going to go on a whim here and say I know the reason the physical PS4 disc won't be available.
