It's not only Sonic. It's SEGA. There are people always trying to shit on SEGA, always. For some reason.
Let me think bad (and I mean bad, not wrong) about that.
Because, I don't know, when I see this kind of things, like "bro, this game destroyed Sonic franchise", in a general forum... I always think about "someone needs to protect its actual status desperately" attacking another part with hilarious reasons, or some forgotten shit of the past.
And I'm not talking about Nintendo fanboys here. They are generally not the ones who attack Sega.
