No…we’re not kidding here
Look, there are many things you can do with video games, and one of the beautiful things about video games is that they can be adapted into various other properties. For example, Sonic The Hedgehog is arguably one of the most successful video game characters ever not just because of his video game franchise, but because of the fact he’s been adapted into now two successful live-action movies, a slew of TV shows, and has the longest-running comic book adaptation ever. Which shows that people REALLY loves their Sonic.
