Nah. It was the "shitty friends" crowd who somehow deluded themselves into believing that the large cast was what made the games bad. This is why I will always be thankful for Sonic 4 existing, cause it being shit despite being Sonic and Eggman only shut those people up.

But yes, there are also people who give the series shit for daring to take its own story seriously. Those idiots are just hating for the sake of it. Sega should stop fucking listening to them.

This anti-OC crying is just repackaged "shitty friends". It's also stupid as hell, since Sonic himself is also a shitty OC. He's just Felix the Cat but a saiyan.

Sonic 4 definitively proved that the rest of the cast existing was not the problem. Sonic Team just sucks at making video games. You lost.
