SEGA Officially Licenses Sonic Porn

I feel that this is the proper place for something like this. ...Unless you like the idea of companies officially whoring out their licenses literally.

With Sega relying heavily on their Japanese arcade games to stay afloat and shutting down European offices, many predict that their video game days are over. Today, Sega has announced they are selling officially licensed Sonic porn.

For those who traverse the dark sprawls of the internet, Sonic the Hedgehog porn is not difficult to find. In fact, there is a dedicated size of the fan base who enjoy writing erotic fiction and drawing nude pictures of the hedgehog. Many deride these fans; however, but there are some who have made money off them. Enough so that Sega wants a piece of the pie.

In an announcement related to their video game ventures, Sega has announced targeting artists and writers who have abused the Sonic trademark for erotic works and offering leniency if they transfer the rights to the work towards Sega. Sega has also announced they will target high-profile artists to help develop an official marketplace for Sonic erotica.

Sega CEO Hajime Satomi justifies this extreme course of action in a press release statement:

"Sonic the Hedgehog is still a valuable license despite the many mistakes made with the video game series. Regardless of how the video games perform, there are other avenues of revenue associated with the series through arcade games, comics and animation. Through our research, adult fans of Sonic the Hedgehog clamor for adult entertainment and I believe we are missing a huge opportunity by not satisfying these fans. We can not afford to shun any type of revenue no matter how bad this may look upon the company. We would rather survive and be called every name in the book than die without a fight."

Sega’s site for ordering a future erotica collection starring Sonic the Hedgehog has already crashed due to the high volume of traffic received since the announcement.

For a minute there I got all excited and though Sega were going to make their own Japanese porn and just put the people in brightly coloured costumes. That would have been a laugh.

But no, they're just going buy out the god awful furry fan fiction writers and not do any work themselves. Lazy shits.

Worst fanbase in the world.
