Im ok with that. But do you think they have money to make full campaigin? It requires budget. Really big budget. Good marketing campaigin can cost 100k$+ because its really hard to promote kickstarter for the people who not interested in it, a lot of people never heard of Shenmue, and of course they dont wanna give money for the game for no reason.
Look at this:
Do those look like hundreds of dollar videos ?? It's just being more professional.
And Shenmue has made more money in four days than any of those did in a month. What actually is your point? I'd understand if Shenmue were woefully underfunded and in danger of not meeting its goal, but it feels like you're all complaining just to complain.
The game's future advertising and marketing has no relationship with this Kickstarter as far as anyone knows. By all measures, the Kickstarter has been a massive success and possibly the biggest single video game success ever on a crowdfunding site... but they didn't make enough videos.
I think you and others are trying to say if they'd run a well-organized Kickstarter they'd already be at $5-10 million? It's impossible to say, as no other Kickstarted video game has performed as well as Shenmue already has.
