Goes back to my earlier argument with Star Citizen.

Especially with the stupid amounts of money people are still willing to spend. I bet that unclaimed jacket and watch will be snagged up by a legitimate buyer.

Wish they ANNOUNCED it first so people who are in a financial situation could have cancelled their pledge and backed later. :<

I bet we will reach 10 million eventually because of this. Good move.

[Kenny]

I think they waited cause they wanted to have the KS rake as much money as possible. If they would've announced it earlier, some people would've put it off.

[Doom_Infinite]

I think with KS it should be possible to take in another million or two in the coming months. At least I hope it does.

I'm not familiar with how PayPal donations work, but I do hope they have an indicator of how much they have collected and how much more they need. I hear Star Citizen got around 85 mln dollars like that, which is a ridiculous some of money. Since we know Yu has funds from other sources, it will only be fair if we have a reasonable limit and an indicator of how much is left until it is reached. Otherwise, I am not donating anything. I love the franchise, but then it gets way too fishy.

In Yu we trust.

How so?

...because once you "gift" money, you can't get a refund

Kickstarter served to gauge the demand for Shenmue 3. Now that they've amassed 300% of the original target, we can expect more donations via paypal... a lot more.

Do you think that the donations via PayPal will grant us a chance to be in the credits?

I don't see why not depending on the amount.
