I already had the PS4 physical in the $300 tier. Guess I'll change on my other account from what was once Steam into PS4 digital. :\
Fucking Epic.

Fangamer Mailroom email. Mines is in my inbox in September 2018.
Thanks. Will try that.
Also wrote a comment on the KS page itself.
100%. In fact, there's about zero doubt in my mind about this. As someone who generally isn't bothered by Epic locking down exclusives there is something about them locking down Kickstarted games that does feel decidedly shitty to me. I would like to think that this won't affect backers since Deep Silver wasn't at all involved with the Kickstarter but who knows.
Maybe learn to read. I told you.
No achievments.
No family sharing (so my wife or sister cant play it).
No cloud save.
No universal refund service.
No overlay for your music, community guides etc.
No Linux (Proton) Support.
And many more.
Kickstarting games is OK, but kickstarting games like "Megaman but without the branding" or "Castlevania without the branding" or "A new fucking Shenmue game Sony is already promising $$ toward" is probably not a great idea because they don't need the money as much and these are people connected in the industry enough that they've surely got access to funding sources not available to the bedroom coders and small, less-established teams
I've been had, I've been ripped off, and I've got got, but at least I've never backed a game on Kickstarter.
It wouldn't have been made without kickstarter backing sooo no?
There's no recourse for that. Creators on KS are under no real obligation to uphold most of what they put up on there.
If Shenmue 3 bombs it's probably going to be due to it being a Shenmue game and have nothing to do with what store fronts its available on.
"Outside of the reason people are upset at this, why are people upset at this?"
Everybody should have known it wouldn't be on Steam when there was nothing else it could have launched on back in 2015 for sure.
Is there a way to change my digital from Epic fail store to PS4? I don't want a dime of my money going to help them.
I feel bad for the other Game Kickstarters that will get because of this. This will have a negative impact on KS.
YOu mean like that 'perferred plateform email they gave out to all backers to determine which version they get when the game is finished" That specifcally names Steam as one of the options?
They removed all references to Steam. They promised Steam keys/Steam activated physical versions.
Getting my PS4 copyyyyyy.
Ahh, that reminds me. Need to check up on Hunie Pop 2.
I'm pretty grumpy.
I've long been averse to Kickstarter in general because I figure that it's already ridiculous to pre-order most games in general these days. Broken games and day-1 patches are so absurd that you're almost always rolling the dice, and with Kickstarter you're basically pre-ordering something that doesn't even exist yet, so it's even more ridiculous.
I dropped a good chunk of money on this anyway because Shenmue is that big of a deal for me.
I don't appreciate being fucked with. Lesson learned I guess.

Ok sure its not perfect, but how was steam when it launched?
Shenmue III on Steam
Shenmue III sees the eagerly anticipated continuation of the epic story-driven saga. Take control of Ryo Hazuki, a teenage martial artist, determined to unravel the mystery behind his father's murder and to exact revenge on the killer.
KickStarter games will have this impact. The company Kickstarter won't.
I have no major beef with the Epic Games Store but I hope everyone who wants a refund can get one. That's not cool.
The game wasn't looking so good, tbh. Maybe, just "maybe" they now have funds to make it a lot better (they use Unreal Engine, so I can see a reason there for choosing EGS).
Good advice now, but back in 2015, I doubt most were worried about it being picked up in this manner.
