^ You're probably right, might be for reasons like these. Might have gotten in some additional chinese backers though, so it's kind of a pity. Otherwise, wasting money on chinese subtitles when that won't really lead to sales in China wouldn't make sense either, so yeah. I guess it all makes sense the way it is.

They're not really taking shots there, just trying to keep the fanbase motivated. We're all very passionate about Shenmue, so a "stretch goal" like beating Bloodstained (and getting all of the exposition and positive headlines that come with that) does mean quite a lot to us. So I think it makes sense. They didn't really announce them as a stretch goal, and they're another colour so you don't confuse them for one.. nothing to worry about here!

That's probably also the reason why they won't make Chinese subtitles. Chinese market for computer games is basically pirate-only.
