I'm overwhelmed with joy and relief right now. Every month on the 3rd, sign me up for a donation! Whatever I can spare! I don't need any rewards. Just the promise of a great Shenmue game.
Donations are charity. Otherwise it's not a donation - it's a purchase. I don't need anything in return but the game. Had they asked us to, I would have given up my reward on Kickstarter honestly, but it seems they took all that into account when planning the budget.
Did Yu specifically say "donation"? I was hoping to buy some digital copies for my friends.
No not at all. He didn't characterize what the PayPal system will be like at all, only that it was coming. I was just responding to those bothered by the very notion of donating for donating's sake. Don't get me wrong, it would be awesome if there were rewards, and there may be. (I honestly expect there will be.) But I don't need them personally.
