Some key sentiments were along the lines of "Sonic, to me, is all about the big cast of characters, and it always has been; this is a betrayal" and "I swear to God, SEGA, you will rue the day you decided to change what you had going, the bombs are on the way to your mailboxes, RUUUUUUUUUE!" only with a lot more typos and a lot less coherency.

In short, I died a little inside because it appears that an entire generation of kids were raised with no knowledge of the SNES games that older fans look at and cite as being the series when it was good and how it should be. These deprived individuals have established themselves as "the fans" through sheer vocalism and have been the driving force behind SEGA's decisions for only God (or maybe Wikipedia) knows how long to the dismay and despair of everyone else.

Hey, maybe he played the Peruvian Hack. It's still better than Sonic 2006.

ITP: Children destroy everything they touch and drive the previous generation insane.

Sorry, folks, brain's taxed to its limits right now, which is why I haven't been around as much. I'm lucky I'm not typing this all out in C++ code from all the scrambling I've been doing to finish up that class. XD

I totally meant Atari. :P

So Sonic Team is STILL being stupid huh. Well so much for Sonic Colors (Wii) and every other sonic game from now on. (So much for getting a Wii)

Really you only have the kids to blame since they don't know that sonic was about platforming and speed not just speed and good music (granted these things are important).

Furries aren't to blame seeing as they are mostly against most of the new sonic games Post Adventure 2.

They're against only cause those games don't introduce enough new characters for them to slash with their "original" ones.

I may have a hate on for the furred kind, but I think that statement is wrong and insulting. Just cause the game features blue hedgehogs and red echidnas does not mean its strictly for furries. I mean, every mascot has their own different group and labelling furries as the cause for Sonic's problem is hardly fair.

Besides Sonic's furry problem didn't rise up in till SatAM Sonic, and the comic based off of it appeared.
