This kick starter while gauging interest is also reducing Sony overall risk and increasing their future profit. While at the same time receiving a major marketing boost for being connect to Shenmue 3. Kickstarter was meant to be use by small developper with the support of fan to produce a game that would never of seen the light of day. Now a big coorparation like Sony is abusing the nature of kick starter to increase their profit and reduce their risks. I think this move actually set a very bad predecedent. The big winner is not the fans.. it's Sony. Free marketing and increase profit and potential earnings. |
Calm down. $2million is nothing to this game or sony. It's a marketing tool that was incredibly effective. How is the big winner not the fans, who are getting a game that they thought would never exist, 14+ years after the previous one?
