I don't see the problem with platformers having that kind of story if done right, to be honest. I think in Archie's case they do a decent job with their story, but IDK if such stories could be done just as well in the games. And considering that Archie altogether tries to give a different tone for their Sonic continuity compared to Sonic Team's (for the most part, anyway), it'd probably upset fans who like a more lighter story if it was gotten rid of entirely.
