They can be replaced overnight; yes, it's that easy. Things like this happen every single day in business, it's nothing out of the ordinary.

Not when I worked for a huge multinational company. They could be dissatisfied with people but keep them around for months anyway due to certain contractual details. So they let them go when it cost as little as possible and the replacement could start at that point. They only fired on the spot in extreme cases and tried to avoid that. Since it took them time to find a replacement which hurt business.

That's quite a different situation than a Kickstarter though where there is a very specific and high stakes timeline. One month, all or nothing. Coporate malaise isn't present in the same way in that situation.
In someways it's more analogous to the final month of a political campaign than to corporate business as usual.

It should be noted that in the first tweet, Biscay seems puzzled as to why people are sending him complaints regarding Awesome Japan, insisting that it's not his area.
I take it that after enough ppl [rightfully] complained, he decided to step up/ step in.
Anyway, I hope he sets his foot down; we haven't been waiting 14 years for some amateurs to f**k things up when it's crunchtime.

Because WE'RE not thrilled with the handling of the campaign, we assume that it would generate a PR boon for the project should they be replaced. But would headlines like, oh, I don't know, "Shenmue 3 Kickstarter handlers replaced due to mismanagement," really have a positive impact on the public's view of the game and its campaign? And how might other partners feel about it? Sony for instance? Would such a move impact their sense of risk and therefore their willingness to contribute?
Just something to keep in mind. I completely concur that the campaign has not been ideal and that it lacks a veneer of professional production values. But I think we need to tread very carefully with what we choose to accentuate about the campaign. Determined, united front? Or potential fissures and negative perception seed planting?
Just a thought. I'm not shooting down the idea or anything. I just wonder if it might be a case of "Better the devil you know..." and not rocking the boat.
