Does it really mean Shibuya are stepping back or divesting their share? I'd be hugely surprised if this is the case? Cedric adores Yu-san and the Shenmue franchise.
This change just sends a message to everyone things are not stable in the development of Shenmue 3. I can see the vulture press headlines now: "Shenmue 3's rocky development", " Shenmue 3 out of funds", "First delayed, now principal investor leaving", "Sony abandons Shenmue 3 after E3 annoucement".
