$5,000,000 REACHED!

[Peter]

The only thing is, taking troll pledges aside, this has all the signs of the beginning of a spike. $50,000 in 8 hours was it? Maybe more? Plus, the reminder emails for potential bidders don't get sent by KS for another 8 hours so hopefully that will also bring a lot of new backers too.

don't want to jinx is but it is certainly looking very good.. even Razer CEO is behind this now and tweeting about it.

It's back down now. Why would anyone do this?

whoever does it will be watching the comments on the KS page, the NeoGAF thread and probably here and gleaning some kind of perverse pleasure from it, I'd love it if they suddenly got charged £10k and couldn't get it back..

So they're sadists or something?

[Shenhua-Nani?]

I saw the bump, some1 took the be an npc 6k$ tier, i expected it to be a troll and sadly i was right.

Anyway at this point i predict we'll get the 6m$....people will pledge to beat Bloodstained record and from there we will be too close to the juicy battle system stretch goal. Lets hope i can quote myself in 2 days.

5mill again

I imagine over the next couple of days people will drop their pledges when they realise they don't have the money.

It's a shame that people will miss out on their pledge because of financial difficulties.

Life sucks.

[Peter]

It's reached now. I'd say that's it locked in and funded by legit backers. Trolls can't do anything now.

[shredingskin]

There's a BIG stretch now from 5.1 to 6 million :(

[Peter]

5.5 million to beat Bloodstained is a good marker though to get to that. If it does, then there's a chance of hitting 6

regardless we should be very happy now, we have achieved much. the 5.5 million milestone to beat bloodstained could be seen as an unofficial stretch goal to help get Shenmue 1 and 2 HD from SEGA since how could they ignore such an achievement?

[Sonoshee]

We were always going to reach $5 mill, it's just a shame there are low lives who have to spoil it for us by trolling.

Well done everyone!

Now if we can topple Bloodstained...

[shredingskin]

There should be a stretch at 5.6 just for the publicity stunt.

I think we are gonna make it, we need 600k today will end around 150k, and the last 2 days will be around 300k and 500k.

Bloodstained did more the last day than the first, but I don't think we can compare to that, since E3 reveal was a big one.

Anything is possibruuuuuuuuuuu!

[Havel]

The amount of disappointment we'll get if Bloodstained isin't surpassed.

[Peter]

I have no expectations after hitting 5 million. I am just sitting back now, beaming with happiness, and enjoying the ride to the finish.
