No offense to Arin, but why on earth did they think it was a great idea to hire someone who criticizes your game at every conceivable opportunity for the Ambassador role? It just makes no sense to me. Korone, despite being a newcomer to the franchise, genuinely loves Sonic.

The Fandom never wanted that negative face of the franchise. The internet dunked on Sonic throughout the 2010's, hyper fixating on every conceivable issue the games could have, even when games like Colors, Generations, and Sonic Mania were coming out. It was a miserable time to be a Sonic fan, and Arin being the Sonic Ambassador was probably the perfect personification of that era.

Arin and Sonic Twitter teaming up was something for the community, but with how Arin himself presents gameplay and his honest critique of games, he's definitely no shoe in to actually help promote games. Granted, Sega earns their poor reputation with Sonic, but it's a good idea to restrain brutal honesty and not publicly admit your pessimism of a franchise's upcoming release when you've been given a spot on their team. Arin's personality around Sonic doesn't make him a good promoter, but his passion for critique helps speak for up for game communities.

The funniest thing is that Arin has said multiple times that he doesn't understand why SEGA hired him. (He has actually been less shitty about Sonic since no longer working for them. And he actually had fun with Frontiers. He tried to stay his cynical "I hate Sonic" self at the start, but after the first Titan battle, his only complaints were things literally everyone agreed were the worst parts of Frontiers)

Getting Arin Hanson to be the Sonic Ambassador is like getting Morgan Spurlock to be an ambassador of McDonalds; it's entirely self-defeating for no reason other than to cater to a demographic who'll never give your series/ products the time of day. Korone's at least energetic and passionate about the series, despite her being a new-comer and her Sonic playing skills being on the amateur side.

Airn was a bad choice, he like sonic as a character but isn't fond of the modern games. And when it was happening, he was extremely negative towards Sonic fans. Korone is the right choice, she likes the sonic franchise. She experienced the good and bad of the games but still loves them. And you can see her fan girl off the bat when something catches her eyes
@shadow7179 19 күн бұрын
Sonic 06 absolutely deserved that trashing from JonTron and Arin back in the day, game was broken (not in a good way) af. I do agree Arin wasn't a good fit as Sega Ambassador but at that time I'm not sure if there was anyone better though (in between him and Korone I'm sure there were some people better suited for the job like say Antdude but I'm not sure if Sega would agree with his stance on Sonic fangames and mods)
@sansnom5269 19 күн бұрын
There was a time when I actually enjoyed Game Grumps. It took me some time to understand the funny, silly guy who doesn't equip a shield on Ocarina of Time is actually doing that on purpose, so he can create fake outrage and rage content. Sega also took some time to understand that Arin was trashing their franchise, and not celebrating it.

From what I see, Arin's allowed to criticize the games however he wants, but as an Ambassador for Sonic, he wasn't a good fit. Sure, everyone shared the same opinions that he did about the games, and a lot of them were very valid ones, but that didn't really get people to go buy the latest games to enjoy them. Overall, it didn't help sell Sonic, but he was far from the main cause. Korone, on the other hand, does seem like she genuinely enjoys the games and loves the character for what he stands for (but he's second fiddle to Knuckles, her true love). There's also the fact that she became Ambassador in 2022, when Sega had some good stuff going around for him (Sonic Frontiers, the Sonic movies, Twitter/X questions with the cast in-character, etc), so you could argue that it was unfortunate timing on Arin's part as well.
@Psyche_TH 19 күн бұрын
The context is definitely different but you can equalise it by considering how Arin didn't praise or highlight the few things that were good about Sonic games at the time and instead focused solely on what made them bad which everyone already knew about, whereas Korone is not unnecessarily going out of her way to find the flaws and shortcomings in the new media, because even though Frontiers, the films, etc are an improvement they're still far from perfect. When you are literally given the job of making something look good, you are really bad at that job if you can't find a single nice thing to say about the products you're supposed to be promoting. Those games were bad but they were not unmarketable.

arin did go on record in that same cold ones video to say that he does everything solely for the money; for example, he said he did animations for money and when animators on youtube got shafted he moved over to lets plays which were the big thing at the time. whether passion was involved or not is another thing, but the way he speaks about what hes done makes it seem like money was always top priority over anything else. so if sonic team came to him and went "hey you seem popular, wanna promote our thing" i have no doubt in my mind that instead of responding with "i hate your shit though, i dont think im the best pick" he instead immediately went "how much" i do not like arin much as a person for many a reason

Really didn't care for how things were framed in the original tweet. I'm happy for Korone, and Arin/Game Grumps. And I'm happy for Sonic and the Sonic team, looks like their future is looking more and more bright & promising these days.
