@KayFiOS Sega’s playbook? Sega did shut down that Streets of Rage fan game remember? Also Nintendo will only do that if they can’t make good games. Sega can’t make a good Sonic game so that’s why they allow fans to do it without acknowledging specific ones
@Aronin 1) Sega took down that Streets of Rage fan game. 2) They can’t make a good Sonic game so they let fans do it (despite the fan games actually being terrible and the only good ones are the ones that took the foundation Sega left behind. 3) They can’t acknowledge fan games as it’ll lead to legal trouble. Their stance of fan games is exactly like Capcom’s in which they don’t actively hunt for fan games but they’re not allowed to acknowledge their existence. This was confirmed by one of the spokesperson from Sega. 4) This game in particular got too much attention.
