Really? This is news to me! The last time I talked with Sega Reps via
e-mail about a new Sonic game (about 3 or 4 months ago) they couldn't
confirm or deny anything about a game but said something to the effect of
"Sonic is an important part of Sega's image. He'll be sticking around."

One question _I_ have is if this IS true and Sega drops Sonic, will Archie
Comics continue with their Sonic series? [ Does Archie 'NEED' Sega's
support or does Archie's Sonic have a 'life of its own' ].
