The ONLY issue actually here is the Physical PC Case issue. What they pulled is shitty and it does not win them any favours with anyone, not even with people (like myself) who were not interested in the game to begin with. I am obviously not trying to defend Epic here at all, nor Ys. There are often tiers for just less than the RRP but all they provide is just a copy, for extras you need to shell out much more than what you’re being offered actually costs. The fact that you also paid more for something compared to other people who will purchase it for less once it’s released, is also something to expect - the reason you paid more was because the game meant a lot to you, so you could afford to give more money in order to see it created. You’re not purchasing something immediately - you’re funding it, you give the money to people in order to create it, and failures can happen. It’s a real shame that people are not getting what they were promised, but on the other hand, that’s exactly what Kickstarter is and we’ve seen it plenty of times. There are also other points like the 500$ capsule toys collection, but I want to give them the benefit of the doubt considering those are Kickstarter rewards and news can appear between now and November, but still there are way too many things wrong with this Kickstarter. But this is what Ys Net promised: "Get an international phone card (in-game item) to call Nozomi, Guizhang Chen, Ine-san, Joy, Fuku-san, or other characters from Shenmue 1 & 2. Maybe it will come later, maybe it won't at all. The International phone card Ys Net promised in the 80$ tier wasn't mentioned anymore, and we can find nothing about it in the Deluxe or normal edition store page descriptions. " The deluxe edition pre-order comes with way too similar contents: If the content is exactly the same, what backers paid 250$ in advance for? Because that same content is available for much less to everyone else it seems. Let's read it together: "A n illustration + A backer-only Arcane Technique Scroll + A Skin-change feature for Ryo's Jacket + The physical CD soundtrack. the Deluxe Edition pre-order bonus looks way too similar to the 250$ pledge of the game.

Backers needed to pay 60$ for it (against the 29$ pledge for a digital only copy), so they paid 60$ for an empty box with a code if nothing changes. Today we know the PC disc is nothing but a case with an Epic Store printed on it.

It was stated the PC disc would come with data on it by Ys Net. the PC disc was promised in an exclusive backer-only case.

Even if they will deliver it, it's still too late because other people played the demo in advance.
#Shenmue 3 kickstarter trial
As today, we don't know if the trial version people paid for will be delivered or not. The last week Ys Net was demoing the game at E3 and some streamers/youtubers could play it. "Be the first anywhere to play Shenmue 3 " was the slogan utilized in the Kickstarter page to indicate the 100$ trial would be available for backers before the press or people in general. trail version of the game (100$ reward) is missing.

Fangamer didin't even update their survey to reflect this, you can still opt for a Steam key. When the Kickstarter launched the Epic Store wasn't even a thing, but now we have Epic keys instead of Steam ones.
#Shenmue 3 kickstarter Ps4
The Fangamer survey asked to decide between a Steam or PS4 digital copy of the game. Steam keys were part of the system requirements for the game in many updates.

Yeah, because it's not only the whole Epic exclusive being the problem, there are several problems people are barely talking about, but they are also very important in my opinion. So, I decided to write down the nasty things going on with this Kickstarter.
