Sony announced it because if it hit 2 million they would help fund it and it was great PR. Its not that hard a concept to grasp.
Other than that the situation isnt different at all. The fake outrage is hilarious.
A fan of the series would be happy we are getting another,not crying about all the financial details. The game is coming, who gives a fukk about what percentage sony gives.
But I guess fanboy wars trumps getting a game you like (not you specifically).
What all this fake outrage boils down to is some microsoft stans that are salty that they thought e3 was going to be all xbox and sony stole the show and the internet went nuts over it.
Im happy I get to see shenmue 3. A series dead for 14 years and a game nobody thought could happen. If microsoft gave yu syzuki 50 million dollars and made it exclusive id go cop an xbox one today.
As a fan of the series and a backer of the kickstarter the game is not definitely coming. It might be in a limited form, but the existence of a kickstarter doesn't mean shenmue 3 as us fans want and expect is coming.
Sony's involvement only hurt the chances of shenmue 3 being a worthy installment. And thats the problem to us fans of the game that want to see it come to fruition. Your only concern is defending Sony.
Be totaly honest, if ubisoft put up a kickstarter for any game at their E3 you'd have mad shade to throw
