Bloodstained brought in a lot of outside the community gamers by making the Kickstarter a fantastic experience, making backers feel how unique and historical that moment was. This KS gives us very dry updates and has not done a good job on making the stretch goals exciting or hyped, for the most part people just feel discouraged that they're out of reach.

3)The number of backers != total number of pre-orders or sales.
4)I would argue that while the kickstarter announcement at E3 helped the overall numbers, it also made us reach a saturation point much sooner.
5)It's fine if we don't hit $10M - they'll figure something out. The success of this campaign could help ease investor risk, so it's possible the money is covered elsewhere (a post KS paypal option probably covers the rest, honestly).

Yeah, and the game is also from a period when gaming wasn't as mainstream so sales weren't as they are now. It pissed me off when I saw comments about Shenmue's awful sales. What they didn't think about is that games selling over 1 million were seen as best-selling games. Even huge games like MGS3 and God of War were in a 2-4 million range on PS2. The Platinum series for example started from 400 000 copies sold.

even Yu should be at these guys to sort it out but as far as we can see his along for the ride. Sure this is the 3rd game in the series but then you have the stretch goal of the cinema shorts, explain what they are and how they will help newcomers. If you aren't even going to attempt to bring in new fans then don't bother hiring a team and put up the kickstarter yourself.
It wouldn't surprise me if people started getting the wrong rewards or ones that have changed entirely when the post comes in 2017.

Probably people who are complaining about Awesome Japan and then those same people will complain about how much Awesome Japan suck because funding is going down
