"Hi Joel,
Thanks for writing and as always, we appreciate the tenacity and dedication of the Shenmue fans. There is no current news about a Shenmue III release date, or plans to announce a release date. Sega.com will be the first place for you to find out official word of any new games.

Sorry I can't give you any more hopeful news than that -- !

Don't know what to make of this, it's probably nothing. I'd imagine that a customer service peon wouldn't know anything about this if the public doesn't already. Just something to take into account.

Dammit you're right. The Shenmue facebook page posted it like it just happened.

Why the fuck does Sega allow their employees to fuck with us?

Hi Joel,
Stop writing about Shenmue. Just shut the fuck up already.
