There has been alot of ambiguity around Shenmue 3's funding and whether Sony were going to fund the rest of the project once the kickstarter hit 2 million. Suzuki-san has now finally stated that for Shenmue 3 to be a true open world sequel and presumably reach its full potential, it needs 10 million from kickstarter.
SONY Are not fully funding this game

They will be helping with PR/Marketing and who knows what else. (As stated by Boyes and Corsi). Most of the funding will be coming from us, the fans.
I very much doubt major gaming sites will cover this; and hell, there are even sites/gamers out there trying to sabotage Shenmue 3 in general. Fortunately, we have platforms such as Neogaf and other forms of social media to express our voice.
We all need to work together to make this happen and use any available resources that we have to spread the word (Twitter, Youtubers, forums, etc, etc).
Admittedly, this campaign should have been handled better and the goal should have been 10 million from the start, but whats done is done.
Please let's not argue with one another, spread any negativity or GIVE UP. we still have 27 DAYS people. Anything is possible within that time period.
This is our one chance to get a proper Shenmue sequel. Let's pull together and make it happen.
