227,000+ people have signed a petition demanding the removal of Google's Google+ from YouTube, and dozens of others have signed other petitions demanding the same. And so far, NOTHING'S HAPPENED.

Sega may or may not be as big and/or powerful as Google (video game co. vs. internet search giant, if you want an exact analogy), but they've been around longer and, more importantly, they're the very creators of Sonic the Hedgehog franchise itself. If Google won't cede to fan demands, neither will Sega---or any other large company, for that matter. We can still try, but personally, I doubt it'll work.
