That's really disgusting, it's sad some people just have such a negative outlook towards this game. And why? What's not to be happy about?
Best not to get too distracted by sites like Polygon, they just troll for clicks.
The GameSpot article is a big deal. Anything GameSpot posts basically gets copied and posted all over the internet on other sites that more or less rip off their content. Things like that can definitely set the tone.
Even the Polygon article isn't negative, just their usual condescending comment section. Most people just glance at the headlines and get a sense from that.
The vibe is definitely changing and I think we are now in the "backlash to the backlash" stage of the internet hype cycle. This is good news!
EDIT: When I google Shenmue now, in the "top news section" that shows whenever you search, the visible articles are the Gamespot and Engadget articles about clarifying the funding. This is a very good change from when it was concern trolling from Forbes.
