you rather it not be created at all then?
The kickstarter was OK'd by sega and already planned out before Sony's involvement. Sony is not investing a significant sum of money.

The game and the kickstarter would exist without Sony's involvement.

The only thing Sony did was play off people's nostalgia to earn cool points while fukking up the chances/momentum of the kickstarter. And forcing YU into some vague corporate speak, which is the exact opposite of what kickstarter is supposed to be about.

If Sony was just funding the game outright, that would be great.

Not saying this isn't true but I haven't kept up with this story past the announcement.

Can you link me to an article stating Sony's role as an investor and how much they plan to invest?

There's plenty if info out there. All types of conflicting confused shyt, but the fact of the matter is the majority of funding is coming from kickstarter. Its undisclosed how much Sony is helping, but Yu has been clear that they are not fully funding the game.

Basically both Sony and Yu are towing the line on answering the questions.

That's what these clowns do. Anybody that's not sucking Sony's dikk round these parts is a "bad" poster. :francis:

This thread wasn't about Sony you dumb clown, its about what a Sony employee spent their own personal money on. You 2 dumb ass xthots turned this into a Sony thread

And still haven't explained what his personal money has to do with anything

Every thread he posts is anti sony
Every thread plenty of people post is "anti-Xbox" but y'all don't call them "woat"

If yushida is in an interview talking about how much he wants this game to be a reality and how Sony is "partnering to make this happen" then its a bit :huhldup: that he only invested $30 considering he's a multimillionaire. And it speaks to Sony's involvement overall. Talk big shyt about their commitment, but only invest minimal $ to the cause

So since he's a "multimillionaire" ( I'm sure you've been in his pockets :comeon:) he is supposed to spend his money on his employer's investments :heh:, on something that he will see ZERO return on.

And the thread wasn't about sony and what theyre doing, it was about Shuhei Yoshida and his decision to "only donate" $29

You telling me the president of playstation isn't multimillionaire?:comeon:

Plenty of regular people have invested much more

And the thread is about the irony of an executive who gains a bunch of clout for the games existence is only donating the same as the rest of us broke consumers. If shu or anybody at Sony really wanted the game to happen they could/should donate a lot more
