Looking back on the entire thing, I think the best part for me was the community interaction. Everyone was so fired up, and it felt as if Shenmue was a current gen title.
A very special day indeed.

I talked to Mark about Shenmue....(He's such an awesome person)
"It's not easy these days to find publishers who want to afford those much...", That's what Mark told me.
He said Yu is trying hard to find publishers these days (that's why he's here...)
I personally catched the fact that remaining chapters of Shenmue is much bigger than Shenmue 1 & 2 so for that Suzuki needs lots of money & a strong publisher.
Something that grantees that saga comes to a conclusion not that we end up waitting 15 more years for Shenmue 4.
PS note: GDC isn't over yet & we have E3 ahead...GDC is usually where devs gather to prepare while E3s, TGSs & ... are the real show downs.
I may edit this & add more of what Mark & others told me, but basically that's all we must know as of now. #SaveShenmue #GDC2014
Just keepin' the spirit alive

Well, by definition, a publisher refers to your second comment, getting the game on shelves. A video game publisher does the marketing and the manufacturing of the game. If Cerny was referring to simply funding to develop the game, I don't see why they wouldnt use the term game developer, but he chose publisher instead. Publishers merely promote the finished product.
EDIT: Publishers also can give money for development
Peter wrote: See that's why I am letting myself get annoyed. How hard is he actually trying? I mean is he just moping around waiting on for someone to come to him because of who he is? Or is he properly pursuing this with passion? To be honest, he has never came off as fired up or motivitated when it comes to mentioning Shenmues future. I don't question the guys want for completing the saga, I question his passion for making it possible. If he has been supposedly trying for years, then is he really trying hard enough.

But if Sony was to publish it does that mean it becomes a 1st party franchise?
