If that's true then I don't have much hope for this game. There is no way to make an open world game for the amount of money they'll get from Shenmue.

Witcher 2 was produced with 12M...

But as others have said, Ys Net has secured other funds from other sources, and the 10M is basically what's missing for Yu Suzuki to have enough money to make the game the way he envisioned it. People saying companies should just write a blank check to Ys Net so he can make his game have really no idea how businesses work. xD

1. The Witcher 2 was made in some poor Eastern European country.

2. The Witcher 2 was developed 5 years ago.

3. The Witcher 2 is nowhere near the scope of Shenmue.

Funding from other sources? I'd like to believe that he's getting $30M+ elsewhere.
