You’re too corporate!

Those eager to see how Sega might screw upSonic’sgood will afterManiashould mark their calendars, becauseSonic Forceswill be arriving in the US on November 7. Along with finally getting the chance to live out their DeviantArt dreams, fans who pre-order the game will receive a “bonus” edition of the title that includes some controller skins and in-game character costumes for the create-a-Sonicfeature.

In all honesty, this isn’t the most egregious example of pre-order culture. At least a physical bonus is something that doesn’t detract from the game and losing out on extra skins isn’t the worst thing in the world. I’m not sure if Sega got the memo about the Switch’splastic coating and stickers, but maybe they’ve made sure to avoid that issue with a new type of adhesive.
