I don't know why you act like this doesn't matter when it seems to matter a great deal.
It being hard to do the right thing is a mitigating factor, not a complete defense.
i agree with paying ransom being illegal but i can't imagine wanting someone to get prosecuted for it
idk waht that makes me, but that's where i am on the issue
Sometimes making something illegal is a better way to strongly discourage something than just telling people "We strongly discourage doing this though we can't stop you."
By having it illegal the police can tell people (who are distraught, emotional, nightmare scenario, all worst fears realized, world crashing down on them etc) "You can't do that, not an option." and have that be a true statement.

The railway on the island of Sodor is much larger and has far more trains than it would if it was private, but the people have remarkably extensive rail access as a result and the engines are all given the chance to feel really useful. Less wealth is created on net than would be if the rail was privatized, but more benefit is bestowed on a greater number of people and engines with the nationalized rail. The many benefit at the expense of the few. This is what a government based on the wellbeing of its citizens as a whole looks like. Seems pretty good to me.

In fact, it is only by virtue of this focus on the populace (people and trains alike) that steam engines are still dominant on Sodor despite the presence of a diesel line like those that dominated steam trains on the main land. In a capitalist society, all the steam trains would be scrapped and the whole character of the island would be lost.

The railway on the island of Hodor is much larger and has far more Hodors than it would if it was private, but the Hodor have remarkably extensive Hodor access as a result and the Hodors are all given the chance to feel really useful. Less Hodor is created on Hodor than would be if the Hodor was privatized, but more Hodor is bestowed on a greater number of Hodor and Hodors with the nationalized Hodor. The Hodor benefit at the expense of the Hodor. This is what a Hodor based on the wellbeing of its Hodors as a whole looks like. Seems pretty good to Hodor.

So Yu Suzuki apologized to the backers about not being honest about the funding for this kickstarter.
Turns out Sony will be directly involved in production, advertising, even publishing (at least on the PS4), and this was guaranteed before the kickstarter even happened.
He is stating that Sony will not see a dime of the kickstarter money and it will all go into development of the game, but if sony is ALSO developing the game alongside Yu...
People just need to be up front with their shit. I would have still backed it. But the reason they didn't mention Sony is because people woul dbe far less likely to open up their pursestrings for a game that already has the financial backing of a corporation like Sony.

The latest Jimquisition brought up another troubling point - Yu Suzuki first said Shenmue 3's Kickstarter goal was $2 million but then later added bigger goals would mean more areas would be in the final game. That is, fans won't get the full Shenmue 3 experience for less than $10 million raised. That's trickery to me.

And I also think it is theater at this point.
If he only ends up with 4-5 million dollars, Sony would be an idiot not to grab 5 million in change from the couch and let him make the game they actually want to make.

Also, these instructions are incoherent
Important Note - the FBI needs two separate sets of ink print cards submitted before they will do a name search. So, if there are any issues with having difficulty obtaining clear prints (medical condition that doesn't allow you to fully open your hands, worn fingerprints, etc.) you might be required to submit a second set of fingerprints. This isn't always necessary, but if the first set isn't clear and the FBI rejects them this will add a significant delay if you do not get two sets completed initially. Please be sure to get two done, send them both and the second set will be held to see if the FBI rejects the first set.
Riddle me this: are two sets required or merely requested? The first sentence clearly states that the FBI requires two sets. But then the last sentence states that they won't actually send the second set to the FBI unless there's a problem--so how could the FBI be requiring two sets? Also, the explanation for why they request two sets strongly implies that they will try to go ahead with one.

I mean, if it never will have existed can it really be said that we aren't getting the full experience? I can't imagine many triple A titles ship with full scope accomplished.

Also, the explanation for why they request two sets strongly implies that they will try to go ahead with one.
Who the fuck wrote this?
i read it as you need to send in two sets of prints in case they need a second one because the first one doesn't work for whatever reason
but i had to read it a couple times to get that much
Allegedly a voice of reason.

turned out it was too old to qualify for the deal so they gave me like $35 store credit
but i had a pile of old games that i sold with it so i got a ps4 for about $150
woo
you have officially won the console generation.
Now whenever a game comes out, you will be able to play it.
I'll be there next year I am sure.
synd how likely is it the hololens will be amazing
because i am seriously considering picking up a bone just for that minecraft experience
It will likely be fucking awesome once it is a real product you can buy in stores.
But it wont be a real product for a while, so don't buy an XBO for that reason alone.
they are still tweaking the hardware, expanding the field of view, and doing all sorts of stuff that a product ready for release would not need to have done to it.
If you get an XBO, get it because there are a bunch of great games you want to play on it now or this holiday, or you have a massive rock band library on your 360, or a bunch of 360 games you want to keep playing, etc etc.
As it stands, the Xbox One is the logical upgrade console if you have a 360 - this was not always the case, but with Backwards Compatibility being a very real thing, well....

This is true, Sony doesn't have too much to lose by swooping in at the last second and being the heros, but they have an awful lot to gain by waiting until the end of the Kickstarter to do it.
