Unfortunately, its highly doubtful that these crzy older fans will be finding any new hobbies anytime soon, because logic and reason when it comes to a blue hedgehog seems to be almost entirely void from their minds. Some of them will most likely continue to b**** and moan about how the current games are crap and will never match the older games (which is unlrealistic and snobbish), but will keep coming back to b**** due to some false hope that they'll probablu get exactly what they want from Sonic Team some time in the future, which is rebooting the series to the way it originally started and keeping it that way. Unfortunately for them, this is never going to happen and they're ultimately wasting their time. Everything, whether it be video games, movies, tv shows, books, art, etc., evolves and changes over time, and Sonic is no exception. The Sonic series is going to continuously evolve, and it may not (or will not) always go in the direction you want it to, so getting bitter and jaded over it is pointless and a waste of everyones time.

Sonic, in all sense of the word, is fiction. Its just a video game series and nothing more, and video games altogether shouldn't be taken too seriously at all. Ever. If you take anything about games too seriously, to even the point of obsession, then IMO you're a delusional fool. Video games are meant to be for entertainment purposes, and if they aren't giving you as much entertainment as they should be, then you shouldn't be playing them. Simple as that.
