PAYPAL SUPPORT FOR SHENMUE 3! PRE-ORDER FOR PS4/PC!

(Chapter 7 and beyond)

It depends on how long the PC remains open for. Right now, I hope the PC addition can get us into a position that 7 million is kinda reachable. If that happens, and the PC is announced to be ending, then we can run various campaigns and pushes to edge it over the line. But as I said, it all depends on when the PC ends.

If there's an E3 showing, that will also be a mega boost, and maybe they could steer the sales pitch towards a last chance to back the game for exclusive merchandise etc. 7 million isn't a complete impossibility.

I should have prefaced when I said $7 Million wasn't going to happen that I meant in 2016.

Over the remaining lifetime of the Slacker Backer campaign, it certainly can!

Maybe it will reach 7 million in Early 2017?

How close to release do crowdfunded projects typically remain crowdfunded? If I wanted to preorder a game I saw at e3 I would go straight to a retailer's website and not even think to search for their crowdfunding site.

$6.7 million by Christmas? Could be a real possibility, especially if we get any holiday update.

It may not update until after Christmas because of parts of the process being manual, and y'know, Winter holidays and all that.

Hmm, 6.7 before the year's end sounds unlikely judging from the pace.

I'm actually pleasantly surprised that it's increasing this much on a daily basis. Did the recent announcement affect this?

Very much so. Regardless of their gaming platform, plenty of people didn't even know the Slacker Backer existed until this latest round of media coverage.
