You may think it's silly for someone to care about things like ownership rights and retro gaming, but those are very important to me.
I don't think it's silly. At all.

I was just pointing out that if you wanted to own it now, you could buy it and own it digitally now. That's all.
I think any drm = no ownership, as far as he's concerned. He could also simply not see digital files as 'ownership'.

Either way, I don't think how he defines ownership matters too much. He sticks to his guns and you're not going to sway him.

(Besides, you don't want to encourage another nasty derailed thread or something do you?)

In his old age the only joy Noise gets out of life is thread derailments involving Inazuma.

When you buy a game you don't technically "own" it (because you don't own the licence) so you may as well get a physical copy of the game.

Hey, another thread derailment by Inazuma! Woot.

I love how Sega just trolled the entire Sonic fanbase - in the first two cutscenes they made the Jaleel White cartoon canon as well as Sonic and the Secret Rings. If that doesn't prove Sega has a sense of humor, I don't know what does.

But damn, this game is just so much better than anything that's come out for the franchise since the first Sonic Advance!
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

I must have missed that reference. What part? If you're referring to the chili dog thing, they already did that before.

They did? In which game? I must have missed it. I think it's funny that Sega puts stuff like that in. I hope they do it to deliberately tweak some of the nuttier members of the fanbase.

The opening cutscene in Sonic and the Black Knight had chili dogs.

Ah, that explains it. I never played that game.

As far as I know, until this game both of the "Story Book" games were not canon. So Generations effectively makes both those games (and by extension the morning cartoon show) canon all in one cutscene. Smooth.

...Sonic Underground still doesn't count, right? Right? Please?

As Inazuma mentioned, Black Knight had them. Also, in Sonic Unleashed, the really hard time trial missions were known as hot dog missions. If you completed them all, you got special chili dogs from each country that you could eat.

I also think its funny though. I hope they keep it up.

And let's hope Sonic Underground stays underground. Where it belongs.
