Shenmue III has more backers than Bloodstained now

It doesnt really matter if they are alternate accounts.

This.

And, it's actually not unreasonable anyway- without addons, theres no other way to secure another copy as a gift or future christmas present

And businesses really only care about the bottom line anyways. If 1M people buy 2M copies of the game, what's important to them is there were 2M copies of the game sold.

Hey, I could be wrong and less than 1,000 backers actually had multipe accounts! I probably am wrong. I was wrong, unintentionally when someone asked me what my name was once, so... It's very likely.

Let's just pretend you're wrong, and celebrate like it's 1999.

Whatever the case, shenmue destroyed them, and it's still rising now, I certainly had doubts its reach out to so many people, but here we are dominating above those other games, and we know shenmue 3 is loved by so many people.

Does it really matter if some people made multiple accounts?

Are you seeing the number increase by the minute? I believe that his massive horde of people that pledged today are new to the shenmue saga and just wanted to get a copy of the game that is generating so much buzz
