Why I'm not happy about the Shenmue III Kickstarter

Tell me a better way to accurately gauge market viability.

And it's not like anyone is losing anything through this.

People loose money paying the game 60$ now when it will be cheaper on release due to inflation. Every dime counts !

OT Using kickstarter for marketing is ugly IMO, as it diverts people's attention from projects who really need the money to become a reality, because they aren't backed by a multibillion company.

Not really.. its $29 for a digital copy of the game if you back up their KS.

If anything, thats incredibly cheap for a fully fledged out title like Shenmue.
