Yea, I guess we still should make sure they live up to what they promised. We need them to have proper advertising when Shenmue 3 is ready for release, and physical PS4 release(no digital only crap).

We could also do something after SIII's release, yeah. But at least a simple 'thank you' is already more than appropriate right now, there's really no reason to wait two or more years with that.

But we don't have to of course. I didn't have something like that in mind when I posted this, I was merely trying to make people more aware of it.

Okay, a tweetathon on the 3rd to thank Sony sounds great! Then maybe after SIII releases and if it fulfills its promises we can do the card thing. If someone lives next to Sony hq, we could even pool together to buy a cake, and bring Sony a cake and the cards as a thank you.

No! I'm not! I think it would be an awesome gesture.

Sony deserves a lot of credit, but the reason they're not getting it right now is because of the bad press that's resulted from their close association with a crowdfunded game. As fans we don't care about the so-called controversy, and it doesn't change how we feel about their role in Shenmue's revival, but many of us are also not keen to fan the flames and keep the media's damaging words in people's minds.

There will come a time when Sony and Shenmue can be mentioned in the same breath without other gamers jumping to regurgitate the nonsense they've read on Polygon or in GamesMaster, etc, but I don't think that time is now. Especially when the same kind of gamers are already on edge at the moment about the "shadiness" of asking for more money post-Kickstarter, as if that's never been done before.

The closer we get to Shenmue 3's release, the more Sony will get their due. It's just uncomfortable timing at the moment, probably for them as much as anybody.
