daredevil.shark said: My suspicion is that Sony wanted to publish shenmue 3 and buy the IP. But Suzuki didn't approved. So they went to a path which is win win both parties. As for kickstarter they are using it as free marketing. Better to use gamers money and hype instead of spending yours. |
Yu Suzuki doesn't really work for Sega anymore (he's a consultant and contractor now, with his own studio Ys Net), and Sega owns the Shenmue IP. So I don't think that's what happened.
