the Shenmue 3 project is being done in partnership with Sony who will provide assistance on production, marketing and publishing"

I remeber not long ago on another article about them hoping to get more money from kickstarter, I said that is cheap of Sony to have an exclusive partnership for this game, but be too cheap to give them the cash they needed for it, and was attacked for it, people saying sony is just doing the advertisement and has no other connection to the game.

So which is it? Is this a partnership and they're helping with production and publishing, and being too cheap to fund it fully, essentially holding the game hostage, because if so, then it would be stupid to make it ps4 exclusive forever.

To me, it looks bad, and extremely cheap to make the Shenmue announcement and partnership, then turn around and ask gamers to pay for it.

Either fund the game fully for complete exclusivity, and stop asking gamers to foot the bill through kickstarter, or let the game go multiplatform. I say it's atmost, a timed exclusive.
