I don't think Bloodstained did that. The embargo was release day though, if I remember correctly.
Deep Silver have gone with a release day embargo because they're worried about negative reviews. Sorry, I mean "it's to respect the backers who might not have received their games". I don't think it's a blanket Deep Silver policy like it is with Bethesda, so they do it on a case by case basis where they figure negative reactions could influence pre-order cancellations. Just like Sega do it on a case-by-case basis. Sonic Mania? "Sure, review it a week before release." Sonic Forces? "Oh no, you can't review that before the release date, because we have a day one patch planned..." *wink* *wink*
Sorry, I hope people don't think I'm being negative. There's no doubt in my mind Shenmue 3 will be amazing, but it wouldn't surprise me if Deep Silver want to supress potentially negative reviews until after the game's release.
