Shenmue III Approaching $7 Million

[Turkish]

It's a damn shame this game had to be made through Kickstarter.

That's not the entire budget btw, they have partners.

That isn't much money for a triple AAA game. Need a lot more than that to get interest from the big developers to pick it up.

Huh? Its from sega.

It's not, it's made by Yu Suzuki's indie studio, Sega gave them the rights and materials to use. No doubt Sega is chipping in though.

Star Citizen is selling digital textures of virtual ships for 100s of dollars. The most expensive ship is $2,500. There's a guy that spend $30,000 on the game http://www.pcgamer.com/meet-a-fan-who-has-spent-30000-on-star-citizen-ships/

I don't think I've seen any other game abuse its whales as hard as this game.
