10 Video Games That Were Ruined By Their Own Fanbases
9. Sonic The Hedgehog
Has there ever been a stranger group of fans? Well, maybe Bronies, but besides those weirdos, theres hardly anyone on Earth who could hope to match the raw intensity of the Sonic the Hedgehog fanbase. I dont know what it is about the little blue guy, but people just cant seem to get enough of him; the series is being constantly expanded by fan fiction, and disturbingly enough, Sonic the Hedgehog-inspired pornography is rampant on the internet. Not that I looked.
Why has such a simplistic game been so utterly abused? I have no idea. I only know that it scares me, and that its all I see when I look at Sonic the Hedgehog. The games themselves are a mixed bag (much like the fanbase), some good, most terrible, but for whatever reason, the series just brings out the weirdness in people.
No one wants to read fan fiction involving cartoon hedgehogs making love to one another. Well, some people do, but they really shouldnt. Call me old fashioned.
