Yes, i was very concerned when Gio made that comment.
The worst thing is that the kickstarter slowed down considerably ever since. Sensationalist media may have just ruined the dream Sony and Yu suzuki delivered to us, wich is why i despise mainstream games media.
Hopefully, after all this Sony does get in there and support them to make it the best game it can be. Something like 5millions shouldnt be something that Sony couldnt give to this project after the reception it got.
