Why I'm not happy about the Shenmue III Kickstarter

You still get the game regardless if you donate or you buy it. You're just helping it 'get done faster' or even 'get it done at all'.

The point is that you're not helping it get done at all. Of course they can fund this game without that 2 million bonus. They are just happily shifting the risks of development towards gamers. If this becomes a trend, and I think that is a realistic assumption, this can eventually lead get gamers/consumers taking all the risks, paying for development, instead of the companies.

Agreed! I expected many more people to notice this isn't a good thing but I guess because it's for Shenmue it will be overlooked this time.
