I used to be one of the biggest Sega fanboys ever. I would have loved for Sega to still be in the hardware business and M$ to not even be in the console space. Sega and M$ had a partnership that had Windows CE as one of the operating systems in the Dreamcast. Which was as far as I would have liked M$ to be involved in consoles. But Sega made bad decisions and M$ wanted more and now we have Xbone. Blah blah... Enough of that crybaby shit.

So Sega became the go to developer for M$ for exclusives to battle PlayStation. We got Jet Set Radio, Panzer and Shenmue 2. All that was fine by me. M$ pays for exclusives and Sega is still ticking. Eventually Sony started paying for Sega exclusives as well.

Now we have this.... When Sony announced Shenmue 3 at E3, I was excited and thought to myself, 'good job Sony.' Until I heard kickstarter. OK, what's going on here? This some kind of twilight zone bullshit? Are you going to give it to us Sony or what? Then they play Shenmue music and walk out the maker. Ohhh my God. The music just made it sound depressing like this man is dying of hunger. It felt like I was watching a feed the hungry piece on TV. Why would Sega even put themselves this low? I felt so ashamed to be a Sega fan. Then they ask for money for him. He looked like he was in need and wanted help. Well shit, when is Sally Struthers going to walk out? I didn't know how to feel anymore. My excitement turned to pity, then to sadness, then to embarrassment, now to anger. So instead of paying for exclusives, we are now holding charities. Well fuck... I wanted the game, but not like this. I felt bad for the creator. Sega's pride took a big hit. It's like a father that can't take care of his own kids.

Shenmue 3 definitely is early, FF7 R probably is early aswell, but which is the 3rd one you are talking about?

FF remake and Shenmue 3 will definitely disappoint a sizable portion of their audience.
