The way I see it, fans are only partially to blame. Every time a new Sonic game is released this is usually the reaction it gets:


 * 1) New Good Sonic Game- AWESOME! BEST GAME! THE GAME THAT WILL SAVE THE SERIES! SONIC AIN'T COMPLETE $#!7 AFTER ALL!- Reviewers
 * 2) New Sonic Game that happens to be Bad- TERRIBLE! WORST GAME! KILLED THE SERIES! IS SONIC OVER?- Reviewers
 * 3) Next game either step 1 or 2, repeat over and over.

I still believe Nintendo shenanigans are involved in order to get Sega fans to prefer Nintendo games over Segas. Some IGNorant review sites whom I won't press names are known for taking bribery to buff out games, who's to say they don't take bribes to 9!$$ on them either?

Yes the Sonic fandom isn't a perfect community, but that isn't to say we should be entirely to blame. Bronies arn't exactly all "love and tolerance" either as we preached to be in to begin with and only a few bronies practice pacifist internet behaviors while others simply enjoy the show regardless of hate or clop they do (So we have a lot in common really).

I think the Sonic fandom consist mostly of Sonic loyalists while outside forces around Sega think they're getting a bit too big for their assigned boots and trying to knock 'em down a peg. It isn't about humility, it's about being top dog in the business and there are those who doesn't want Sega to have another whack at it like they did during the 90s.

This is all my take on it anyway.
