I rolled my eyes, replying that if they were, I would've known about it from you guys by now. You guys know I don't normally believe stuff like this, especially right now when there's apparently enough funds to be working on Sonic 4 Ep II, but I still wanted to bring this up to see how bullshit this is and bring it up to him in the likely case that I'm right. And if there's already been a topic like this and I missed it, by all means, please link me. I didn't really bother to check that much. \|P

I'll be there every step of the way... Posts: 4,813 Group: C Rank Legend Member #1,680 Joined: July 13, 2007	I had a girl tell me that SEGA was bought out by Nintendo the other day. She went on to say that that's the reason that Sonic is soulless these days. I called bullshit on two fronts. So yeah, I doubt your friend's comment really holds any water.

Closest thing I found that holds any kind of water detailed with how they went out of the console business way back in 2001. I call bullshit.

My! That's a pretty snazzy performance there! Posts: 451 Group: C Rank Knight Member #12,740 Joined: January 29, 2012 Xbox Live Gamertag: MysticShaid Wii Friend Code: I forgot...	Yea, totally bullshit. Personally, I believe Sega has a buttload of money do to how well there finances are and how they use their money. If that was the case, they might of went out of business a long time ago, but many people still buy Sega stuff. Nuff said.

No they aren't and they have many other successful franchises other than Sonic to keep them afloat....

It takes A LOT for a company to go out of business, especially a huge multinational, megasuccessful one like SEGA. You know how much it took for Hostess to finally crash? Weird example, I know, but it kinda helps my point. A little.

Sandopolis Act 2 Posts: 2,066 Group: S Rank Hero Member #10,696 Joined: January 19, 2010	GUYSGUYSGUYS MY FRIEND SAID THAT YOU CAN UNLOCK SONIC IN POKEMON. IS TRUE? Y/Y Honestly though it seems like your friend is just making a general statement. A lot of the general public still believes that Sonic games are shit (Not saying they really were, but the games definitely are improving), so it wouldn't be surprising for someone to assume the company could go bankrupt.

Yep. Posts: 1,397 Group: A Rank Hero Member #12,099 Joined: May 26, 2011 Steam ID: Maximus123458 Game Currently Playing: Megaman X6	Yeah, and i'm gonna soor hear from my friends that Mario will appear on Sony consoles, Rouge is finally revealed to be a hooker and Tails turns out to love Sonic. My friends are frequently lying about Sonic too, in an attempt to make me disappointed because they hate the living shit out of that franchise. Your friend may be in a similar situation but it might be always something different. :I
