With the great android ports of Sonic 1, 2 and CD Sega could have had them do an official fan game a long long time ago.
It’s great they finally let them at it and they’ll be sure to make some easy money off of it since well, the fans often support other fans.
It’s win win for them and I bet they are taking a chance with it as they are afraid the new 3D sonic game won’t do as well.
Personally I think there is a way to do Sonic in 3D right but it has to reinvent the wheel sorta speak, in a unique way that is. instead they keep trying to copy the basic 3D platformer formula and controls instead and well, it just doesn’t work too well in my personal opinion.
None the less this is a good sign and I hope they’ll have more room to talk with SEGA about Sonic 3 and perhaps continuing Sonic Mania as a series.

Overall I’m happy this finally happened but kidna wish it happened sooner. Bout time SEGA realized funding a fan game would be one of the best things they could ever do.
