->''"In the wake of all of this, I keep being told people with passion worked on [[VideoGame/SonicFrontiers this game]], so I can't criticize it. [[SarcasmMode Oh, this update was free. I'm so 'ungrateful' that Kishimoto, Flynn, and the entire team are trying.]] So let me tell you something that will '''blow your mind.''' Firstly, every piece of media has people passionate working on it. Secondly, Kishimoto directed ''VideoGame/SonicForces'' and ''[[VideoGame/SonicLostWorld Lost World]]'', two games also heavily criticized by these same people, for apparently 'not trying'. But, we all know what this is: [[{{Hypocrite}} they don't believe this statement, as they are willing to criticize those games]]. It's just thrown out in an attempt to stop others [[OpinionMyopia when they criticize something that person likes]]."''
