So for those of you who have highlighted the issues with what you have seen so far... What are you actually doing about it? If you are passionate enough to post here about current issues, why are you assuming talking about it here will get the job done? It won't. In this world of social media, why are you not taking to platforms where you can access the people you need to speak to? It's not hard to work out how.
Why are you assuming they didn't contact the developers? I can only speak for myself, but I sent the developer a tweet about it.
But discussing those flaws in the forums has a lot of merit as well, for example, there are things that I would not have noticed if the fellow Dojo-ers didn't point it out. Plus, if we can actually compile a list of all the flaws that we could observe in the latest material and send it to them, there is a slight chance that it might make a positive difference...

As for shutting down or stifling anything, I haven't seen a single topic locked yet, so I don't know where you are getting that impression. People are posting their thoughts and opinions and just because someone has the total opposite opinion isn't shutting anything down at all. People who disagree with your "thoughts and opinions" are not D3T spokespeople so don't make the accusation again. You haven't mentioned a single positive about this entire event, from its price point to its multiple platform release and how it will potentially benefit sales of Shenmue 3, but you want to have a go at people "stifling" conversation. Yea, I don't think so.
You're really combing through peoples' post history so you could prove a point? And you're wrong anyway, I rejoiced in my first post regarding the announcement, and anticipated it's release date.
I never really accused anyone from the moderation team for locking threads, so I don't see where you got that impression. As I've said, my response is to a general sentiment I've noticed (and not just here). Just look at the first few replies to
Esppiral's thread.

What a pitiful Strawman.

"Oh wait, the cutscenes are in 4:3!? Oh thank you for bringing it to our attention, as we had absolutely no idea! We hadn't even noticed. We will fix that right away"
No, I don't think anyone is that obtuse. A possibility is that it's doable, but a pain in the ass to implement... So they could decide against implementing it if they think like you
in this post, that a mix of 4:3 and 16:9 is acceptable in this day and age. (Hint: it's not.)
Fans voicing their displeasure at the disparity might incentivise them go through and implement it.
I mean, don't get me wrong, I'll happily play the game at 4:3, at 420p... But new players will definitely be put off by that... And the 'critics', don't get me started, as if they needed more reasons to justify anti-Shenmue rhetoric.
