@KingofTheRing You know anything about Ian Flynn getting his asshole ripped apart by Sega? I've heard that Sega got fed up with his shit during his stupid BumbleKast QNA podcast and made him put a big disclaimer at the start of every episode saying his show is for entertainment purposes only and making it so that Sega has to vet every question they get, but I'm not sure what caused the changed in attitude. I've seen people say it was over one of the hosts allegedly say Shadow is a genderfluid, or over them answering a weird question about how every supporting character would react to Sonic slapping their ass but I'm not 100 percent sure

I’ve heard murmurs about it over the past week. I don’t really have any information to add, as you know as much as I do to be honest.
That ass-slapping question was probably the straw that broke the camels back albeit, I’m just glad Ian can’t bait people with the Freedom Fighters anymore as I’ve completely lost faith in his efforts to add them back.
Fowler won, Ian lost.
 

The FUTURE of the BumbleKast! 2025 News & FAQ​

  • Ian's answers to questions may be vetted by Sega as part of their new process, but this does not make the BumbleKast an official method of communication with Sega 12:21.

  • Names of individuals asking questions will be removed, and no identifying information will be given to Sega, ensuring anonymity 13:15.

Changes to Q&A Format and Submission Process​

  • Only Sonic-related questions will be vetted by Sega, while other questions will not be sent to them for approval 14:43.

  • A cutoff for Sonic-based questions has been implemented due to Sega's involvement and the need to refine messaging 17:59.

  • Kyle is not an official representative or spokesman for the Sonic brand, and the BumbleKast is not an official vehicle for brand information 19:05.
  • Kyle is not an employee or representative of Sega, and has never had direct or indirect contact with the company regarding the BumbleKast 19:41.

  • The show will no longer be accepting paid priority questions via YouTube due to the platform's limitations, which make it difficult to coordinate with users and provide refunds if necessary 25:09.

  • The show's creators are open to continuing live shows without Sonic content if the audience is interested and willing to accept this change 25:00.

  • Unpublished minis should not be shared or leaked, and creators are asked to be respectful of the current situation 27:51.

​

I thought this game was more like Saints Row IV in that it was a superhero open world game
Not that it matters, I don't like Frontiers very much, I found the game quite boring and the cyberspace levels were some of the worst playing parts of any Sonic game ever, also Big the mentally disabled Cat returns which is a major L
