My immediate answer - Sonic fans.
I don’t really know what Sega and the Sonic Team can do anymore to make these fans happy. They’ve revisited the classic formula a few times, they tried going modern routes, they tried 2-D sprites in some entries, they try going full 3D and whatever. Nothing ever seems to be enough and that’s even when they’ve tried listening to the fanbase a few times.
Nothing seems to matter, regardless. The fans will find something to be upset about with Sonic. Anything.
This. I couldn’t give a shit about the skywalkers, I want old republic, I want the madalorian wars, I want the sith schism. Star wars is full of fucking amazing things, literally thousands of years worth of wild ride historical events, and we never get to see any of it. The first step to writing is looking at your work and asking, “is this the most interesting part of the story?” If it’s not, why arent you telling that part?
