No change to Slacker Backer/PayPal rewards

[Team Yu]

Despite recent media reports to the contrary, backers of Shenmue III via PayPal will not be losing their rewards and can indeed continue to order the same Slacker Backer rewards, including a physical copy of the game for PlayStation 4, that have been available since the campaign's launch in September on the official website.

WorthPlaying has written a comprehensive article debunking the myths currently doing the rounds on some news sites.

Good change is good. While a minority of people may have wanted the kickstarter rewards to be cut off for the rest in order to better preserve the "exclusiveness" of their swag, it really is better giving those late to the party incentive to still donate. The game will be better for it in my opinion.
