OK, for the sake of argument, I'll give you answers to thingst that I really didn't care to talk about in this thread. This thread is about how I felt shame to see one of gaming's Gods beg for money.

M$ didn't want to fund Shenmue 3. 2 sold like shit most likely and FYI Sega and M$ didn't join forces. It was a bought exclusive. The way exclusives worked when Sony bought them to fight Nintendo and Sega. Blah blah blah....

I don't care who funds what. I said if Sony fully funded this, I was good with that. Don't make one of my heroes beg for money.

Now back to feelinga. None of this technicality stuff. I felt ashamed man. Feelings are feelings.

A primary reference from the microsoft website itself stating multiple times about the partnership between Sega and Microsoft.  They also went on to state that Sega would provide software to the Xbox console by providing "many of Sega's upcoming games".

Shenmue 3 was voted as XB1's most requested game.  M$ might have not wanted to fund the game, but the fans surely wanted it.  I thought they listen to the gamers:

however Phil Spencer states that that can't fund the game because "it's a Sega game" yet Sony managed to do what M$ deemed impossible one year later:

If you feel that Yu Suzuki is begging for money at a "charity" event, then that is your opinion.  Just keep in mind who Sega partnered with 14 years ago and who left him in this state with tattered clothes.  Again, Sony just gave him the money and exposure to make a long awaited game that fans seem to have wanted a long time ago.  Rather than feeling sad for the guy, you should feel happy and excited for a guy that has been forgotten for such a long time.  He has simply been given a second chance by none other than Sega's rival.

Ok, cool..

Now let's talk about feelings. Don't make this a one way thing. Where you fuck somebody and not want to cuddle.  How did you feel? We're you excited? Did he look happy to you that he was asking for funding?

I was sad for the man. He looked like he hasn't had a descent haircut in a while and maybe he might have bloody gums. You know? Like he can't afford to go to the dentist. That kind of feeling. It's like seeing your dad get old and he can't take care of himself anymore. That kind of feeling.
