      I think this is one of the most disappointing things ive heard in my entire life lmao. I was really hoping sony would pick it up considering playstation was where the yakuza series was allowed to grow, but damn smfh

      Not suprised with the outcome if the report about the studio needing additional 44 million dollars to finish the game is true .

      Gang of dragon was never gonna be a big seller considering Yakuza itself is a niche franchise with the latest one selling less than 2 million worldwide. So they were gonna have a hard time finding someone willing to buy the ip from netease plus provide money to finish the game.

      damn. won’t someone swoop in and help them? i assume the amount the team needs is a lot for a Kickstarter or something similar; they’d need a publisher to step up. 

    4. that’s unfortunate, because the trailer from last year looked pretty promising. (especially where yakuza has kind of been on a downward trajectory since 6)

    5. *What do you mean it’s nowhere near finished? You swore to us you weren’t another ‘Yu’ !*

      — Netease (probably)

    6. First Mudang: Two Hearts, now this. Why do all the games I get hyped for die☠️

      he could have spent that money on the game and not hiring the most expensive actors actresses jav idols voice actors actresses he could find,don lee was probably well over 10 million dollars

    9. Damn, I was actually looking forward to this one, and I’ve never played any of the Like a Dragon games.

      that’s a really bad sign ngl
      wiping the whole channel feels like something went seriously wrong behind the scenes
      hope the game isn’t just dead now

    11. NOOOO!!!

      I want Ma Dong-Seok Simulator!!!

      It’s like the XKCD “River Tam Fights Everyone”.
