No, I wouldn't be happy. I wish Shenmue was a huge success and I wish we had a guarantee the series would be seen to completion.
Things are different. There is a divide but the message remains the same.
I agree, you do sound like a bit of a hypocrite because I see your posts on Resetera
You're persistently negative on there, and if that's how you feel then that's fine -- it's your right to post whatever the hell you like -- but maybe you can take some of your own advice 
Finding out about video game sales info is incredibly hard for the most part. Game companies don't release sales data or budgets the same way Hollywood studios do unless the sales are extremely good and even then, it's usually in terms of the nebulous "units sold", which doesn't factor in price (games can be purchased on sale over many months or years, after all, unlike the box office). It's certainly not true that every game since the 1970s has announced sales data; the Secret of Monkey Island's sales "data", for instance, consists of "north of 100,000, far south of 1 million". What could that possibly mean in terms of dollars and cents?
Thanks for monitoring my off-site activities. I'll keep your suggestions in mind. Honestly, though, if you can't see the difference in what I'm posting and what they're posting, then I don't know what to say. I feel I am trying to be constructive and continue supporting the series in spite of my misgivings and I also feel like I post in a variety of threads about a variety of different aspects of the game and series. A lot of what I see here is just the same blanket negativity and the same exact arguments ad nauseam, as well as arguments that 'true fans' shouldn't like this or 'true fans' shouldn't like that, which I feel I am not doing at all.. Perhaps I am guilty of the same! I understand it is hard to read criticism of something you like, so perhaps that is what you take exception to.I agree, you do sound like a bit of a hypocrite because I see your posts on Resetera
The post was a sarcastic answer to the one it quoted, I know we don't have sales for every game released in the last 50+ years.
Apologies, I didn't realize it was sarcasm. Agreed there isn't enough data to say one way or the other but you can't exactly blame Shenmue fans for freaking out about this sort of thing. I mean, everyone is assuming Death Stranding also didn't sell well but no one is worried about Kojima getting to make another high profile game.
You know, if you're going to subject yourself to the cesspit that is r*setera anyways, you might as well send @Spaghetti a PM (assuming the site has those) and ask why that cunt abandoned us. One of the times someone posted a link on here, I saw him in the thread. I think... maybe I just hallucinated that.
, you've legitimately found some interesting stuff doing so).
I hope he wont mind me saying this but Spaghetti is all ok. He's focussed on work at the moment. I'm not sure if/when he will come back but all is well otherwise
Glad to hear I didn't just imagine that then. It'd be kind of hilarious (and terrible) if he came back as the biggest S3 hater of all time. And to @mjqjazzbar, no, you definitely aren't doing the same so don't worry about that. Just keep doing your thing.
I read a bit of your last posts here and you are not one of the trolls, don't worry.
I'm not suggesting you're in the same league as someone who writes 500+ words on why Shenmue III is actually terrible and goes over the same points again and again at every opportunity, I just thought it was a tad hypocritical, that's all. I'm not "monitoring" anybody's activity or finding it hard to read criticism. I read both forums -- that's the extent of it.
