It is a sad day, the first Call for Shenmue which toppled the thread views at over three quarter of a million views has passed away from the front page since meeting its untimely demise at the hands of a
NEEDLESS locking.
If I didn't know better I would start to wonder more about the conditions it met the Grim Locker and Scythe of Thread Killing ... but why would someone have reported anything from the last page? how far "off topic" was it getting despite a few unkind trades and insults
(my personal opinion just being someone fell into a clever Troll Trap, they might be ugly but they make some wicked traps![Angry [:@]](/emoticons/emotion-12.gif)
)? why would the higher forum powers that be lock down such a hugely popular thread so quickly ... unless - but I digress.
If there is any hope in bringing an end to the story that we all as fans became enamored with the demand has to be apparent, has to be constant, and must march on. Did anyone else notice how much other rumblings about the internet started (or if already present began to really pick up steam) once the original thread really took off? I certainly did and I would bet my last donut I am not the only who noticed. Thousands of emails mailed, most unread, most replied to with a generic response, BUT what are the odds that a few got read? Even if no response ( not even the generic one that most of us who have and are mailing have received) was sent the law of averages say that a few were read.
The interest in Shenmue is known, the fact that WE want a conclusion (read-deserve) is known, the fact the companies LOVE/NEED money is known so let us keep up the quest to get what we started out to do ...
Let us get Shenmue 1 on the LIVE arcade
Let us get Shenmue 2 as a LIVE Originals download
and let the resulting windfall of cash and influx of profit show
them that Shenmue 3 needs to come out.
If you want any of the above please sign this thread. Even if it is just one of the above, sometimes that is all it takes to get the second, and then it becomes that much easier to get the rest.
Interest + promise of profit * number of potential buyers of product = product WILL get made. ( even if it takes YEARS, as long as the math is there it will get made)
