Are you still promoting the PayPal campaign?

Postby DOS » Tue Aug 30, 2016 9:34 am

I stopped in November because:
> PC version is still missing in action along with the upgrade option for Kickstarter backers.
> Not bothering to make Kickstarter exclusive rewards available on PayPal.

I am convinced they do not want money.

Still promoting it (of course).

For one simple reason. The money goes to Shenmue 3 development, no matter which errors they are making in the promotion of the campaign or in the PayPal backers treatment.
At the end of the day, a better final product will benefit everyone.

I think somehow the person who coined the phrase "cutting off your nose to spite your face" saw into the future and was inspired by this thread.

I admit having given up the campaign. My thoughts are completely turning towards the regular sales.

I've been talking to one friend and casual Shenmue fan (he recently played both games on my recommendation and loved them) about backing it. He says he's going to get a PS4 now that the slim console is pretty much confirmed and there's a possibility for a price cut. He's not backing the project until he has a PS4 though.

Not my full-time job but I still do it on occasion whenever the opportunity comes up, but I admit I can't take any sailor's joke anymore though.
I also have plenty of spare copies of Shenmue 3 by the time the game is shipped to me. Guess I won't have to think about what Xmas/Birthday presents to give in the near future, regardless of whether people around me are gamers or not.

Sure, I fit a link in when I can.

I'm annoyed the PC version hasn't been added, but I'm not giving up on it because a.) it still makes bank, b.) it still goes towards improving the game even if it never hits another stretch goal.

Originally my plan was to support the PayPal alongside the kickstarter, but as the time went on I decided it might be wiser for me to spend my money on the game again via a store/storefront on release and any merchandise like recently @forbiddenplanet (or down the line HD ports crossing fingers) instead.

I still promote it on Twitter. Anything helps, but I do wish they'd get their skates on and add the PC version now. I dread to think how many lost sales there may be on it not being there.

We can pretty much abandon hope for Kickstarter upgrades and a PC campaign at this point, right?

Nah. We don't know what's holding them up, but it must be something that can't be easily fixed or openly explained. They're literally losing money by not having it on the Slacker Backer site, so I don't think they've avoided adding it out of laziness like a certain poster likes to allege...

If we keep the pressure and demand on for the version to be added we can at least keep getting confirmation it's coming, though I have no idea how we can help expedite the process.

If it comes down to it, I'll just have to throw more cash Yu's way by buying the replica jacket and getting another PC copy of Shenmue III when it appears for preorder in a year and a half.

They haven't addressed either topic in ages, though. Seems like they've quietly abandoned them.

That's not the most encouraging response, honestly. It's just what he's been saying for nearly the past year. :sad:
