So, for about a month or two I've been running into some computer issues that left me unable to participate in the forums, though in the meanwhile I have been keeping up with whatever Sonic news I can get my eyes on, and frankly I'm just tired.
Long story short, I feel the franchise is hitting a low I just can't be optimistic about, and dislike the way it's headed so much that I don't feel like so heavily associating myself with it like I have done for years. This is a franchise no stranger to change, but I can't bring myself to accept this new era.
I'll still enjoy the games, I'll still draw a hedgehog every once in a while, I'll even still talk the ear off of all of my friends about the franchise, but nowhere near as frequently, meaning I also don't see the point in being active here.
I'm just jaded is what it is, and maybe it's just a phase and I'll get back to worshiping the Great Blue One like I did before, but with how active I've been in these forums in the past I feel like I owe some sort of explanation as to why I'm going silent.
You people are the lifeblood of this franchise and I've enjoyed every second I spent here. I'm effectively jumping ship but that doesn't mean I still don't want this fanbase to thrive, I'd just like to be a casual observer now is all.
Sayonara, Sonic Blast. Don't let the flame die out.
