People don't want new shitty friends. You can see that throughout the history of the franchise

>Tikal isn't needed. Delete her
>Big isn't needed. Delete him
>Amy isn't needed. Delete her
>Shadow isn't needed. Delete him
>Rouge isn't needed. Delete her
>Blaze isn't needed. Delete her
>Silver isn't needed. Delete her
>Marine isn't needed. Delete her
>and so on

Every new character that becomes popular does so in spite of the older fanbase going against them. Familiarity is all people want, and new characters aren't familiar

I don't get you guys, we are on the best moment to be sonic fans, we had movies, games, collaborations, crossovers merchandise, animations, comics, multimedia, side media and a lot of merchandise, yet you try with all your might to be disappointed?
Im not saying this franchise is perfect, but try to be more happy to enjoy things. We live in a time sonic became a respectable franchise again and stopped being the internet laughingstock for 15 years.
I'm an actual oldfag who saw the whole circle of things in this fandom and franchise and for once i'm happy this franchise is doing good again.
Even journalism and normal gamers are expecting crossworlds to be good, and have a chance of it to compete against mario kart World, thats says a lot.
15 years ago, this was almost impossible.
