That is fair. Out of curiousity, what are you concerned about though?
the nature of the reveal, the backing out from saying they're involved and explicitely denying it to actually say they were all along once its succesful and there's no risk, even tho it was obviously clear
the precedent it sets for future similar stuff and what it means for spotlight kickstarter projects
etc
been saying as much. I think kickstarter is a great platform for Shenmue 3. I just don't like how it went down
