Shenmue 3 Kickstarter Backers will not receive preorder/Deluxe Edition bonuses

[Zafir]

Ok I get that Steam/PC users are pissed. And I don't really have an issue with people complaining about it , you can read my posts on this thread and its mostly only been that I am not upset at this. But people do need to understand how kickstarter works. It is not the same as preordering. The product barely exists outside of being an idea. 90% of the time you are going to get a worse deal than the rest of the people.

Click to shrink...

You need to stop assuming people don't know how kickstarter works. You also need to stop suggesting people can't complain because "that's just how kickstarter is".

As I said earlier in the thread, I've backed over a 100 projects on Kickstarter. I'm a fan of the model, I think it's great for smaller companies to be able to bring their ideas into fruition. 2 of those were failures, which was disappointing not gunna lie, but it happens. Sometimes projects fail, that's life. I didn't stop kickstarting after those failures, and you know what I'm probably not going to after this. I don't think other indie developers/project creators should be punished for a few bad apples.

What I do have a problem with, is companies stomping all over those backers without much of a consideration for them. Which is absolutely what happened with the PC backers, and the pre-order bonus is just pouring more fuel on the fire.

Of course they don't have to give backers anything more than the bare minimum, but that besides the point. Offering the pre-order bonus could have gone towards mending that bridge they just burned. But they couldn't even be bothered to do that.

Countdown to thread becoming Epic exclusive.


YS Net have nothing to do with preorder bonuses. As far as the retail version is concerned, YS Net are just the developer. Unfortunately, Deep Silver have not taken backers into account in any of their decisions.

Click to shrink...

Ys Net created the content used for pre-order bonuses, and we only have faith that it was actually created with Deep Silver's money specifically for that purpose; so little of the game has been shown that we have no way of knowing for certain if that's the case.

Ys Net signed the contracts seemingly ceding complete control of their own game to Deep Silver, did this after the funding campaign, and either didn't consider how this might affect backers or didn't care. That's the most generous case for them too; we really have no idea whether Deep Silver have complete control.

Ys Net refused to issue refunds to backers that they had either directly, or as a consequence of their deal with Deep Silver, screwed over with the EGS deal. It required Epic's intervention before they changed that decision.

Whether directly or as an indirect consequence of their business decisions, Ys Net are at the very least partially responsible for the issues with this campaign, and that includes the pre-order bonus situation. They shouldn't be absolved just because Yu Suzuki's a personal hero to some people.

Did we point out that the base Kickstarter backers that got a digital copy was at a 30$ price point (which is what I backed it at)
Right now Shenmue 3 is 50$ on the stores
Is this preorder DLC worth 20 extra bucks cause that's some expensive ass shit

 

[Deleted member 45765]

I just wanted to play more Shenmue, so I backed for $100. I've been wondering if maybe what I really wanted all along was to be 21 again. Once all this minutiae clears, I look forward to the answer.

I believe it's a "blazing kick" move (potentially an early unlock but not confirmed), Kenpogi training outfit, and a starter pack.

As I said smart backers no need to split hairs *eye roll*.
Going to look forward when all these smart backers rise up and bring 10 million to the shenmue 4 kickstarter. That'll show all the dumb backers to adjust their expectations properly.

Did you get the update from Ys Net on what happened to above $60 tier rewards?
I surely didn't.

 

[Deleted member 4609]

I mean, in the case of Shovel Knight and Hollow Knight, the updates have been stretch goals. It would be trash if it weren't free for backers.

Click to shrink...

This is what Yacht Club had as a stretch goal:

Play the full game as a member of the Order of No Quarter! If we meet this stretch goal, we'll hold a vote to see who it will be. Expect the game to play differently! For example, Propeller Knight could have the ability to hover for short distances, but would be a low health 'glass cannon' of sorts. Even the story and dialog will change a little bit to reflect the changes!

Click to shrink...

Instead of that, they've basically been working on three new campaigns with remixed music, new level design, stories, hubs, challenges... they've basically been working on delivering that for five years and they would have been justified in charging more, but they didn't. Likewise, Team Cherry set a stretch goal for a "second playable character with their own unique quests and abilities". They're now giving away a full game to all backers instead.

You know, I was going to buy Shenmue 1/2 in the PSN sale, but I think I'm good.

You got a company like this, then you got a company like Team Cherry who promised Hollow Knight DLC but since it was such a huge project it turned into its own game and is giving it free to those who backed a copy of Hollow Knight.

The update is "learn what kickstarter is and stop being entitled" according to this thread :D.

 

[Resilient]

I'm not saying that alone should mean they offer refunds.

I'm saying that the delay would reasonably impact which format people want.

Like I backed Sportsfriends, and by the time they came around to delivering the game I had bought a PS4, so I asked to switch to a PS4 version. They let me because they didn't have total contempt for their backers.

In fact they actually just gave me a PS4 code in addition to my steam code, which was obviously very nice of them but not at all required.

Click to shrink...

Wow. There is entitled, then there is this.

Just because another developer offered something above and beyond, you're gonna hold contempt for YsNet because they aren't offering the same.

Probably wise to check what you were paying for when you Kickstarted it. It's not shitty if they're not going above and beyond for all of the original backers. That's just so unreasonable.

Not getting the DLC is whatever. Sure.

Kinda weird people keep bringing up Team Cherry & other Kickstarter devs throwing in bonuses, those are outliers and should be applauded as such, not the norm and definitely not an expectation

 

[Sei]

Pure greed.

They lose nothing by giving digital goods to backers.

 

[MJForum Poster]

I mean that's unfair. I have a lot of fondness for Kickstarters, and a lot of great games have been made because of them. As much as I'm massively disappointed in what transpired from this particular one, I'm still goint to participate in kickstarters.

The problem here is Ys Net decided to sell out the backers to a publisher who doesn't give a damn about said backers.

Click to shrink...

Not every kickstarter treat their fan/backer as sub-consumer who are only good enough to give them loan a 0% interest while they hunt for proper investor who will require contract to protect their interest at the cost of those who kickstarted the game with little to no protection.

Click to shrink...

You guys are going to keep being taken advantage of if that is your lesson/takeaway from this.

There is almost no benefit for crowdfunding a game. The minimal discount you may receive is offset by the fact that they have your money for years ahead of time. On the other hand, we have seen broken promises time and time again, especially with games promising Steam keys and then going exclusive to the Epic Store for a year. If you are somebody who gets upset over that, why are you still crowdfunding games years ahead of release?

yeah but what they have done is not typically because they have killed any good will they had because of decisions they made. Other kickstarters are perfect examples of how to do it right and should be held to a better standard.

you do realize that this kickstarter and point Phoenix where kickstarted years ago and because of what's happening with these and epic that it has turned off people from backing projects and might even result in some games not being made because of it.

 

[Teeth]

I still don't get how Yacht Club even stayed profitable. Plague of Shadows already took them a year or something, then they slapped another campaign on it for free that had completely different gameplay and levels, and now they are still working on another one. It's kind of crazy tbh.

Team Cherry is going there, but I think they will actually stop giving stuff away fro free once Silksong is out.

Click to shrink...

The thing about Team Cherry giving away Silksong to backers is...they only had 2100 backers. Giving Silksong for free to 2000 people who helped them out is nothing compared to the millions who have/are going to buy Silksong.

Yacht Club, on the other hand....they don't make any sense to me. They even said on a podcast that development of Plague of Shadows was like a million dollars. I can't imagine Spectre of Torment was less. I guess they've built up a lot of good will at least!

Im just glad that despite of the daily articles that put shenmue 3 in a negative light, that the game is a best seller in Japan and Uk and some point the U.S.

here are the terms and conditions for backing this Kickstarter. if you agree to them, please continue.
3 years later you change your mind because you bought a PC, still have a PS4, want it on PC but they won't swap for you.
"i want a refund"

like literally what? please explain it to me. just because you want something doesn't mean you get it. and just because they aren't bending over backwards for you, does not make them shitty.

if you didn't even back S3...stop posting.

 

[m_dorian]

I could have seen a ton of goodwill generated if they offered the preorder content as a gift to backers, especially after the mess the exclusivity deal created.

They do not have to but that's what happens with all the free stuff, they give them for a purpose.

And if the game is not as good as people want it to be, oh boy, we are going to have another round.

I have to ask, do you even back things yourself? As I just said before, I've backed over one hundred projects across kickstarter/fig/indiegogo, I've only been really annoyed at two projects, and funnily enough, Epic can be thanked for both of those. Phoenix Point, and Shenmue 3.

I'll maybe be more cautious over games in the future, but I'm certainly not going to paint every single developer out there with the same brush because two out of over a hundred projects decided to sell their soul to epic.

No, I don't. Because crowdfunding is not even on the same level as preordering a game - the team can take your money and give you nothing.

But yeah now I recall that 1 million statement of Yachtclub as well. I just hope they start cashing in on that good will at some point. Nobody expected anything more of them for free after Spectre and they are doing it anyway, the madmen. Seems like their Treasure Trove model helped at least.

No I'm just smart with what I back hence why I have a good track record with only 2 failures and 2 EGS buyouts. I couldn't have predicted epic going crazy with their money trying buy backers to get them to use their storefront that's lacking in features. No one could have.

Season pass I could understand but why no preorder bonuses?

Click to shrink...

This is kind of where my head is at. It's hard for me too get too mad about this, because the only part of the pre-order bonus I'd personally ever even potentially use would be the attack scroll, but just as a principle, excluding backers from basic pre-order bonuses is kind of weird and shitty. Like, I know backing isn't exactly pre-ordering, but backing a game at certain tiers is basically pre-ordering. Now it's like "buy two copies of the same thing, or screw you."

Season pass not being free is totally alright, though.

 

[Shadoken]

What I do have a problem with, is companies stomping all over those backers without much of a consideration for them. Which is absolutely what happened with the PC backers, and the pre-order bonus is just pouring more fuel on the fire.

I never said people can't complain. Also the damage done by EGS far exceeds this. They would have to give something far more substantial to mend that bridge.

That wasn't really related to the discussion , it was some inside reference or w/e lmao . But I still stand by what I said to understand Kickstarter better , its not the best place to spend your money and its not the same as preordering.

Its great that other devs are able to offer free Season pass and stuff. Perhaps they are able to afford it , Its all relative. The difference between Bloodstained and Shenmue KS isn't that much. But just look at the difference in scope. The PC issue did burn bridges, but i don't think this would help really. It is far too insignificant. Maybe a Free season pass might. But then they would have to give it to PS4 and PC backers , which would be a big number.

Also if this isn't a retailer exclusive deal and is just a regular preorder bonus. I can't help but think everyone is going to get it. Most "Day 1 editions" are like this. Seems super weird that they are going to make different physical copies.

I totally understand Yacht Club wanting to generate content to validate bumping up the base price of their game, mainly for going physical. I'm not sure you could even make money selling a physical copy at $20, and they likely make only $5-6 on each physical copy as it is.

I would assume it has something to do with standard and deluxe edition extra content likely being funded by 505 Games who technically can't count/won't receive any portion of a sale from any of the backers.

Remember Kickstarter isn't the purchase of a item, it's a pledge to an idea with the hope that the campaign runners actually deliver on that idea.

Before this whole Deep silver debacle I have been involved with a grand total of 1 game which didn't deliver as expected ( Sealark ), not counting delay.

Other projects allowed the revival of a dead licence like Toejam and Earl and Tex murphy gave me a better game than diablo 3 with grim dawn, gave me an amazing coop RPG with divinity original sin, etc etc... with pretty much no complaints about the way backer were treated with those projects ( bad communication usually being the biggest problem I could have ).

Participating in something which has some risk associated to it, does not give it a "no complaints can be made" pass, otherwise you pretty much can't complain about anything.

Oh for sure, I just hope they still have enough funds to realise their next project after they finished their third free campaign.
