You can imagine the discussion if it would have been MS doing this with Shenmue 3. Internet as we know it would've crashed :).

So in realitity, this whole thing for you and I can only imagine others is less about it being a kickstarter and just you being unhappy its Sony doing this and not micro? Smh
