10 years since SEGA wanted to make BOOM a real part of the franchise...
I remember how SEGA, specially Sega of America, was putting a lot of effort in making Sonic Boom a real sub-franchise. Leaving apart all the problems it had, in the end it had its own animated series (with three seasons if I' not wrong), three games, and comics (still from Archie Comics), and of course a lot of merchandising.
I have never been a big fan of Boom since the first moment it was shown to the world, but looking back in time, I feel a bit sad for the people that "suffered" the crisis Boom faced, and at the same time I'm impressed how things have gone and changed after all this time... Boom now is like a deleted/forgotten part of Sonic's history, and besides the new games, we had a Netflix series, three successfull hollywood movies, a big merchandising expansion (nowadays it's "hard" for me to not see a kid with a Sonic t-shirt, or a lot of Sonic-licensed stuff in stores.
SEGA may be not the have had always the best ideas, but I have to admit it's impressive that in a time when not long before they had to survive from the "Dreamcast crisis", they had to face another crisis and in "only" 10 years they were able to overcome that and take the Sonic franchise to, I think, a much better point.
