Which game is it that you still have to pay half price for it, even after backing the project?

But still, this could set a bad precedent for the entire industry to follow. It's a slippery slope my friend. Publishers hate to spend money on games, but loooves to get some from them

What? I don't understand. If you back the project, you will receive the game.

Here's the link showing you what you receive for backing the game: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ysnet/shenmue-3/pledge/new?clicked_reward=false

Nobody is forcing you to pay a single cent until the game is released...just like with any other game ever.

I might have confused it with another game, but I think I read somewhere that if you backed a project you still had to pay half price for the finished product. But it doesn't seem to be this one.

But I still think this sets a bad precedent for the entire industry
