Actually, it's not that easy because someone apparently thinks that Sonic Boom was a sucess, they are making a sequel and even more merchandise. You can't get any news about Sonic without bumping into Boom every once in awhile. I would be ignoring it, if it wasn't for some of its stupid fans (not all, but enough of them) who are like "Uh, i lik Sanik bum i m such a speecial snawflak and evryone who doen't lik sanik bum is not a trve Sanic fan!" I'm just not that kind of fan who shuts up and eats everything SEGA spits out and I'll continue to criticize Boom because it's still part of one of my favorite franchises, even though it raped almost everything I like about Sonic. Criticism is important, even though they will never know the opinion of every single fan. Of course we can't change what happened, but if enough people complain about a certain problem, SEGA might learn from their mistakes instead of making the same mistakes over and over again. People complained about Lost World being too much of a platformer and having too little speed. I'm sure SEGA won't make a "Lost World 2" as Sonic's 25th birthday special. Sh*t happens, but if sh*t continues to happen, that's definitely a problem. And to help preventing this, we should take a look at what the real problems are and point them out, you know, like a good fanbase should. But I know that you can't rely on a fanbase that complains about a character's voice acting more that it does about totally ruining a character what makes looking for real, reasonable complaints in said fanbase pointless. So yeah, I see your point.
