they actually give their fans what they want. a good example: some random sonic fan makes a youtube video a year ago of mushroom hill in HD and everyone claims its "better than sega could do" with it, and they wish it was a reality...and here we are, sonic generations has the same exact thing and better in every way. sega always caters to their fanbase and listens to them reguardless of how shoddy their new school sonic games may seem at times. plus they took more risks than most of the beloved companies today. their console making days might be over but damn did they take a lot of risks and ill forever love the dreamcast as the revolution that started everything we have now, whether it be the xbox that was saved by panser dragoon, the playstation which took off after virtua fighter, or the gamecube which still has sonic adventure 2 battle remake as one of its most prized games, or better yet, online gaming in general, dreamcast was first.
