"Making Sense of Shenmue 3"

My only gripe with the video is at 10:06 where he says "console exclusitivity".

I dont understand the problem with that line

Exclusitivity is not a word.

I put an apologise in the comments. I was drunk when I made the first post and also when I made the apologise.

It was weird to make Shenmue appear on the Sony stage for a KS. It was a really hard blow to see everybody up on arms saying "SIII backed by sony, you guys get out" when it was a 15 year old project that every publisher backed off.

I was a subscriber of him, but that video really ticked me off, like only Shenmue would (in a videogame realm).

I'm not kidding when a lot of people saw that I was in that extasis to see this game coming off just said that "Sony was behind all this" because they googled the name. Everyone wants to have a headline, and sometimes I understand. But for a videogames channel to make "oh E3 sucks, it's publicity" it's really condescending. We know it, videogames "news" it's a promotional trailer or clickbait, I think that he went with the "easy to say something about X game".

What I was really bugged off is that he did the comparations to indie games that ACTUALLY have not real meaning to videogames development as Shenmue actually did. I like him, he has A LOT of good stuff, but there was not just a "miscommunication" from awesome Japan, but also a miscommunication about what did (and CAN) be Shenmue for the future of game development.

He has a point though about big publishers trying to make crowdfunding a thing, but putting YS pretty much as "shady" was really hard, specially for someone I though cared about evolving videogames.

We all have our own opinions. I appreciate the apology. Believe me, George is a great journalist. I wouldn't slap my name on the video if I didn't think so.
