[quote]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. [B]Today, Sega has announced they are selling officially licensed Sonic porn.[/B]
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:
[B]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.[/B]
[B]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.[/B][/quote]

This is just pathetic now.

Sorry, proven false. The site is a popular satire website. My mistake.
Let's instead use this thread as a lesson that you should always check your source.
The money goes where the customers are.
This sounds too much like an Onion headline to be true
Well, that don't seem to healthy... This can't be right; is there a more "official" source for this?
Also, what would happen if Sega actually sold off the Sonic IP to Nintendo? Strange and possibly terrible things would happen, I imagine, or possibly Sonic games of a higher quality if the IP goes to the right team.
looks like deviantart has some competition
I can't believe I'm saying this but why would I buy Sonic porn from Sega when there's tons upon tons of fan art freely available online?
Sega does what anyone with self-respect don't.
This is a satire website. It's also the 3rd time it's been cited in SH.
Stop posting from it.
oh my god
Sonic is dead, please stop beating this horse
Nintendo owns the rights to two Mario Bros pornos, mainly because they bought them from another company just to make sure they are never produced again
Hey people, read the "source"
The source has no sources, it's just bullshit satire.
Honestly, is ANYONE dumb enough to think that Sega would officially do porn? Are you kidding me?

Fake source, however this would be hilarious if true.

Considering it's Sega.
Yes.
Other headlines from this clearly legitimate news site.

I honestly thought it was going to be allowing fan characters to appear in the games or something.
This is much much worse...
Sega does what Nintendon't.

And also, Sega is honestly doing fine :v:. Not as good as they were doing 2 decades ago, but Sonic is a household name and every game that's released has sold a LOT, despite being critically panned.

That, and hasn't some of their more recent stuff been more well received?
