Sega haven't got the time to find out what every bedroom coder may or may not be working on - who cares if it took the developers years, not their problem. Someone nicked their I.P., they eventually found out, and they had a word.
If anything we should be grateful more of these things aren't blocked, the other ones probably just slipped through the net.

Yeah you can't really prove that though.Gonic wrote:Even if they didnt have the donation page up, SEGA would of still pulled the plug on it.
And SEGA didn't pull the plug on anything. It was done, finished and let out on the internet. It's still easy to find a download of, all SEGA have done is give the developers more publicity.
This I disagree with. I know the game was released for free, but the fact that you COULD donate money to the developers for the game would make it a very grey area.Gonic wrote:Even if they didnt have the donation page up, SEGA would of still pulled the plug on it.
I do find it odd that SEGA have asked the developers to take the game down when there's loads of Sonic fangames around (two of which are Sonic 2 remakes), but I would imagine there's a lot more happening behind the scenes.
Who knows? As Rek said, it's not too hard to find a download for the game somewhere.
Possibly a publicity stunt? It's reverse psychology, making a controversial step like that would obviously cause hype with the fans and discouraging people from downloading it would inspire more people to download, even if they weren't originally fans of the game. A mad guess but food for thought as well
