I think it's less the "selling" thing and more the lawsuit. Unless they redesign Shade drasticly (to the point it may as well not be Shade), her inclusion would just invite more idiotic bile from the whole thing, whoever is to blame. A shame, seeing as Shade was one of the better parts of Sonic Chronicles.
