Optimism isn't denial of the bad, it's reasoning with the good.

Point I'm getting at is Archie Sonic has been going on longer than Sonic the Comic which as far as I'm aware no one has shed a tear with abrupt StC finished. Archie has been making Sonic comics longer than StC and been doing so since 1993. They have a huge fanbase alone more independant than the actual Archie, Sabrina and what other comics they make. These comics are money-makers for Archie.

Meanwhile Sega of late are responding to their fans with such games as Sonic Mania and Project Sonic '17. And while they're more strict on the mandates with Archie comics, they have loosen them up a bit for such spin-offs as Sonic: Mega Drive which is popular.

So yeah, while Archie has become a liability to Sega, Sega would compromise and would not disappoint it's fans. They are strict with Archie but for the last year Sega has become a bit more sensetive for it's fans and wouldn't want to dissapoint quite a large chunk of it's fanbase that read the comics.
