Either you're a victim of FUD - or you're a massive Sony-hateboy. :-/
You do realise that Adam Boyes in Sony stood on the E3-stage saying the following words:
'Kickstarter have brought many games to Playstation.. blabla some examples... then he followed up by saying:
This next kickstar Project, is not 'our' project, it's the developers own thing. - But since PS-gamers have been very vocal about getting this game, when the developer told us they were kickstarting the game - we wanted to highlight the project here on stage today'.. <== Not confusing at all in my opinion..
And then we got a trailer how the story of Shenmue were left incopmplete, wherever he went he were asked about the continuation of the story...
And then Suzuki saying that now they can continue it, and the fate of Shenmue were in 'Your hands now'
Yu Suzuki came onstage, said a few words, counted down the kickstarter-start,and then he went away, and Adam Boyes clapped for him and said to the attendence and Viewers; 'let's help Yu Suzuki make Shenmue 3 happen' as he went away'..
So this is clearly not a Sony-kickstarter, none of your money would have gone to Sony, if you decided to help bring Shenmue about.
