- ianstallings 11y agoBut then they simply wouldn't do it because the risk is too large. This gives them hard data on traction before they've even talked to distributors. So it works out well for people. Unlike a traditional pre-sale, these contributors should understand that the game might not ever be released.

- bobbyi_settv 11y agoWhy do you think they don't need it? There isn't much info available about the company, but from I can tell, this would be the first game they've released. Even if they've done something to this point or have some outside backers, they surely don't have $60M lying around which is what the original Shenmue cost to make.
