I agree here.
The fact that some people feel they should close it for fans who's already reserved their copy
For fans who get once in a lifetime opportunities
For fans who wanted to be apart of this just because of some funding is selfish AF.
I have never played Shenmue in my life but I can totally understand why some put money towards this project and I'm okay with this entirely.
Yup.
These "concerned" moralist can take their consumer right and ethical business/transparency and go home. Sometime corporation can act in good faith and care enough to present an option to fans instead of just saying fuck you, $$$ bitches.
We knew when we pledged $100+ for the game that it might be crappy since it was only asking for 2M.
We didn't care, we still threw our money into the wind because we'd waited for over a decade to throw money for the sequel but never got a chance to do so until now.
