How do you fucking...Now that Shenmue 3 is announced as Epic Store exclusive even though they promised Steam keys and after few other developers did same before it will be really hard for other devs to ask money from consumers via crowd-sourcing.
Yeah, Shenmue is the exception not the rule.Shenmue 3 crowdfunding was always a bait and switch to begin with considering it was on Sony's stage and publishers were ready to strike deals tbh.

Yep. Time and time again stuff like this happensThere never was any guarantees with KS.
Ever.
If you put money in to back a project, you roll the dice.
Why? It released and was a solid game. Plenty other worse offenders like all the projects that still have no light at the end of the tunnel.I thought crowd-sourcing would have fallen off drastically when Mighty No 9 released.
This. You are funding a game prior to pretty much any publishing details are in place. There are no guarantees. It's pretty shitty, and once again shows how shitty Tim and Epic are.I mean this is the risk with Kickstarters. It's not a pre-order.

Dunno why this thread exists when there's already a thread about Shemue III going to Epic Games Store (but the Kickstarter page never said anything about Steam or Steam Keys).Now that Shenmue 3 is announced as Epic Store exclusive even though they promised Steam keys and after few other developers did same before it will be really hard for other devs to ask money from consumers via crowd-sourcing.
When only one person seemingly stuck with fans...
Kinda crazy that Bloodstained is almost in a crowd of one with Microsoft buying Fig pushers or Epic literally moneyhatting the rest.
People need to stop treating kickstarter like any other kind of preorder.
This too.

How many times do people who actually backed Shenmue need to post proof that this isn't true before people stop repeating this outright lie?(but the Kickstarter page never said anything about Steam or Steam Keys).
You guys are misjudging this if you think more than 5 percent of backers are going to be outraged that they have to use a different launcher.

Imagine their terror when their single player game requires them to install one piece of software to launch it. Truly the end of times.
