Forum:Is Sonic going to die?

I read this on the internet

I admit to being a little saddened when I left Sega to form my own studio, but not because I was abandoning the company and co-workers who had supported me for years. I was dismayed that I did not fulfill my ultimate goal: to kill Sonic the Hedgehog. I had made significant progress; abysmal titles like Sonic Shuffle and Shadow the Hedgehog went a long way to erode confidence and test the limits of gamers' patience. However, the job was far from done. Before I left Sega, I secretly met with Sonic Team to deliver one final directive: The Sonic franchise must die, no matter the cost. They embraced their mission with alarming enthusiasm. The team devised terrible and incongruous concepts, then cobbled them haphazardly into a loose approximations of games. They expanded the cast of Sonic's repulsive anthromorphic friends, including hedgehog-on-human romance, and even threw him on a hover-board -- twice! I was overjoyed. "This is barely even playable," I laughed as I played Sonic and the Secret Rings. "Mission accomplished." I hadn't counted on you, the gamers, ruining my plans. No matter how hard Soni Team tries to create a game not even a diehard fan could love, you stupid goons keep buying this garbage. Seriously, they turned Sonic into a "werehog", whatever the hell that is. Think about that for a second; what part of "werehog" sounds not even remotely stupid? That doesn't matter to you, apparently. As long as it has Sonic (or one of his insipid friends), you'll eat it right up and ask for seconds. This is my plea: Stop. I beg you, let Sonic die with some dignity. Don't make the team suffer the humiliation of creating yet another game where Sonic transforms into some kind of genie or dragon...or something with a magic butt. Because that's where things are going, and if that doesn't stop you, heaven help us all.

Is this true because it worried me somewhat. Is this really the end for Sonic?
