Every sentence in this "article" is worse than the last. "I don't care about KS, or Shenmue, or anything else that might make my opinion on the topic noteworthy, but here's what I don't like about this thing that I don't care about. Specifically, the placeholder art that has no bearing on the final product. Yes, I'm an idiot."
I think we all agree that this article doesn't deserve even a second look, but at the same time it bothers me a lot. It bothers me because it's not simply a bad or unimportant article, it seems to have malicious intent. Why did he bother writing the article? He tries to make it sound light-hearted but I don't think that's the case. I think he's putting this out there with the hope that it might sway the public in some way, perhaps subliminally. I don't buy the lightheartedness. If he really didn't care about any of this, he wouldn't have written it in the first place. I think he wants this whole thing to fail, he wants fans to be disappointed.
I mean, the addition of a physical PS4 copy is unambiguously a good thing. The fans were asking for it and the KS delivered. You can't put a negative spin on this announcement... so he bashes on the temporary pre-alpha-alpha artwork? Are you fucking kidding me?
