Sonic Writer had To Use Wikipedia.

[Fools in Miru]

See the story here

Ken Pontac had to use Wikipedia for reference when writing the plots for the new Sonic games. Given that Wikipedia offers only basic information on the games, you can understand how that turned out. Sad to see how much of an impact 06's reception had on SEGA.

Sonic games don't need a story beyond the obvious.

I was going to say something along the lines of "Oh noes a writer had to look up on Wiki about the important Sonic canons."

But reading it, it seems that Sega didn't actually give him any information on characters that he was supposed to write about and script for. Which is a bit dodgy.
