Talk:Archie Comics' Sonic The Hedgehog "Endangered Species" (2013 original storyline)/@comment-75.141.108.46-20140625055319

And thus, this is yet another reason why the world hates Ken Penders. This is Sega's fault regardless for not keeping their contracts in the right place when they needed it. I remember the backlash from numerous troll groups and Pender haters though, which, even if it ruined a long running comic series, was funny to see.

In hindsight, had this happened in Marvel or many well known cartoons we had today, most of the franchises we knew today would simply not be there. One example being the original Looney Toons Basco character hopping around to other companies like MGM. It's an interesting read if you're interesting in some obscure cartoon history.
