^ Fair enough. Everybody should contribute what he/she can, according to the personal situation they're currently living in.

When do they charge Paypal? Can you still back out, even after it's been charged? I wonder if it's just another asshole who's gonna bail out on the last day. Don't know if that's possible with Paypal though.

Fingers crossed I will be able to throw another $5500 onto the fire for the sculpture and jacket. I don't know though, I will think about it because that would mean I will have given this project more than enough money.


HOW MUCH!?! I'm sorry i know Yu needs support and people should be able to pledge support for the game but there are limits and i personally/morally think giving that much to Yu is just wrong...please don't do that and put your money to better uses...Is this what Yu expects his fans to do in order to fund the rest of shenmue? Shame on Yu and anyone who would give him so :shock:

I remember the old days (prior to the actual Shenmue 3 announcement) when many Shenmue fans were saying that they will even sell their kidneys, or if they win the lottery they will donate all those money, in case Shenmue 3 ever gets a crowdfunding campaign... Ah, those were the good days, haha. :P

Now many of them howl with ethics/morality concern trolling, just because Ys Net Inc. decided to give another chance to pledge, for many fans who could not back Shenmue 3's Kickstarter. Drama, cynicism et cetera, are like a pandemia nowadays in the social media.

Absolutely spot on Gio. Well said. Not only are those people not stepping up, but some also criticize and judge those who do? It's crazy.

Not trying to tell you how you spend your hard earned money...but i do personally feel sad that fans have to succomb to giving Yu so much of their own personal wealth in order to fund his own project.

Would aynone of guessed they would be spending Thousand/s in order to make shenmue 3 a reality? Just seems wrong and sad to me... :sad:

And i'm going to hazard a guess that some fans have reorganized their prioritizes in order to give the shenmue kickstarter as much as possible and even spend over their means...imagine iF George lucas said to his fans they would never see episode VII unless they coughed up $200 mill to fund it...you know people would sacrifice too much to make that happen...the same with shenmue.

...What so your condoning fans selling their kidneys now???....wow

I'm not saying it's wrong to back the project but our emotions/nostalgia for things can get the better of us and makes us more vulnerable of giving more than we can really afford.

I remember reading some people would max out credit cards to fund this...now that is stupid as ****

I don't see it as that big of an issue, tbh. I didn't max out my credit card, but I gave what I was willing to give and what I could afford. Now that might be $100 for one person and $10,000 for another. As long as you are able to repay the spendings on your credit card, I guess it's fine.

I had made plans to buy a new phone in September which is not gonna happen now because of Shenmue 3 and I'll have to put off my new phone plans for the time being. But that's fine with me. It was worth it to me. So if others want to max out their credit cards or bank accounts I don't think it's "stupid" to do so. It's their own money and it's not an emotional decision imho. Those people had an entire month to think their Kickstarter contribution over and could have bailed out at any time.

Also, I do agree with you on the fact that it's "sad", Yu has to ask the fans for money to fund S3, but "wrong"? No, I don't think so. Shenmue 3 has been put on halt for 14 years, Sega don't want to finance it which is understandable. Now Yu has been trying fo find an outside investor for many years, which was not successful, so I guess Kickstarter and Paypal was the only way it could have been done.
