>Most people played them on GameCube or PC. The Dreamcast wasn't a very popular console.
Yeah, but nerds who would argue about it online would surely be overrepresented among Dreamcast owners. I've been arguing with people who only played the Adventure games on the Gamecube or later since those versions first came out. I had a Dreamcast and the original games. And there are of course other factors. One is that Sonic Adventure came out in 1998/1999, and comparing it on a technical level to games from that era is very different than making the same comparison to games from 2003. The other is that even with Sonic Adventure 2, which got its port much closer to its original release date, you're dealing with Sega fans, who naturally are going to be more inclined to be Sonic fans (and fans of Sonic Adventure 1), whereas with the other releases you're dealing with Nintendo fans who likely do not have the same affinity to all the things that the fans like about the series. 20+ years ago we still had tons of people on the forums complaining about they "changed" the story, and that it should be about Princess Sally and the Freedom Fighters, or that it shouldn't have a story at all, because the old Sonic games never had stories (because they probably never played them that much, or at least never read the manuals).
