well
just because someone doesn't play the games doesnt mean they're not a fan-- but if someone blindly defends a terrible game-- sonic boom: rise of lyric, for example-- without having played it or any other game in the series, then they're not a fan ngl
and yeah
i mean, they def had to cut corners with the game. this is their chance to fix it
let's just hope they don't screw it up. the playable characters seem fun though
