Hello ShenmueDojo, I have been coming here for years and finally decided to sign up. I am so excited Shenmue III is finally happening. I just happened to think to watch the Sony conference live on the Twitch stream on my Amazon Kindle and boy am I glad I did.
I am still in shock.
I have been reading through this thread and my suggestion about the worrying about getting to the goals is: what if, we the fans, try to get the word out that all who pledged should bump up their backing to the next tier or either donate some extra money. If all those who backed already, bumped up their backing just a little we could get, at least, another $1.5 Mil (if not more).
Personally I backed at the $175 level, I would have done the $500 level if I could have afforded it.
