Ryan Drummond, old voice actor of Sonic the Hedgehog, speaks out on SEGA: "They do not give a damn about what fans want. They only care about what makes them money"

Im pretty sure every company is about making money rather than pleasing fans.
Remember; 'you can make some people happy some of the time, but you can make a crap load of cash when no effort is made and marketed well'.

Seriously, this isnt the least bit surprising.
