I think one way to try and reach that 10 million might not just be to encourage backers to up their pledges for no reward, which is often a hard ask, but to encourage fans to buy extra digital copies to give to friends. I'd rather feel like I am spreading the Shenmue love around rather than making up for publishers' stinginess. Plus, backers might have spent money on birthday / Christmas gifts for their friends anyway so it isn't such a net loss. I don't see it harming the project either, no extra physical rewards to ship.
