Interrogé par Le Monde, Andrew House, le PDG de Sony PlayStation, explique que le financement en partie participatif du projet était avant tout une demande de Yu Suzuki. « M. Suzuki avait déjà prévu de lancer un Kickstarter pour financer le jeu. Il voulait le faire dans tous les cas. Nous lui avons dit que nous voulions trouver un moyen de le soutenir, et avant de lancer un projet de cette nature, il est normal de tester l’appétit du public », explique M. House.
