@Axile11 Same here. But Kojima is japanese and it's quite normal in their culture to show humble respect to something they like

Unfortunately it doesn't work much differently with political parties, football teams, and (sigh) religion...

OK. And what if the money raised is not enough to complete the second half of the game?

@CDNkilljoy I was thinking the same thing. It makes the whole website look like a house party of teen-agers dealing with their first hormonal storms.

I think anyone who has seen a movie with Ellen Page and then played this game would notice the striking resemblance. Naughty Dog have been really cheeky with this one because they knew what they were doing, they basically got a famous hollywood actor to star in their game for free.

@Amdisity chill out, too late would have been 5 years into the lifecycle, the console hasn't even launched yet

I think it's clear we are moving towards digital, and physical support will disappear slowly. From this perspective Gamestop doesn't need to exist any more than Amazon or Ebay does. I don't think more money ending up in the pockets of the publishers (or developers, even!) rather than resellers is a bad thing for consumers, quite the opposite.

Sony is playing catch-up, which reflects Japan as a whole losing their magic on the western world. There's a serious creativity issue going on there starting from cars, phones, tvs, and consoles too. Let's hope Sony manages to get back in touch with America cause at the moment Microsoft is the leading man.
