there is potential for abuse but this is actually exactly what kickstarter was intended to do.
shenmue was dead. deader than dead really. it's been 14 years. the last game was a financial disaster. the IP is owned by a company that isn't doing great and focusing on mobile mostly. shenmue would have never happened without kickstarter and that's exactly what kickstarter is for,.. to get a project started via crowdfunding when the no suits anywhere are willing to make the investment.
the kickstarter investors get the game for half price, the project is actually moving forward. win/win.
