It doesn't quite mesh with the Sonic message.

A lot of people are hoping the trend dies quickly...
prevnextFunny how sega likes NFT’s but makes a game about saving the environment like sonic. Do you really care. Probably not. I really hope this trend dies soon

prevnextisnt Sonic about protecting the environment?? not cool Sega. Also gaming and NFT should stay away from each other because i can already hear EA and Activision drooling at the thought of using NFTs in games.
