I’ve been getting a lot of questions about whether I feel scammed by the $Knuckles coin or the person behind it. Honestly? Not really. It’s hard to feel “scammed” when everyone was told upfront that the money was going to support a creator whose work they enjoy—and that money is coming to me, just like they said it would. Am I getting all of it? No, but I’m getting more than I ever expected for basically doing what I’d be doing anyway: chatting with folks who have questions or comments. It’s still a better deal than I ever got at Archie, where I didn’t receive any royalties at all.
If people are upset that I’m not getting every dollar, there’s an easy fix: go to my website’s homepage, scroll down, hit the PAYPAL DONATE button, and send whatever you would’ve spent on the coin. Or even better, check out the MERCH page and buy something—a print or one of my books—so you actually get something real from me in the mail.
I just don’t have the time to run a full-time online presence and finish my upcoming books and other projects at the same time. But I am doing my best to respond to everyone. If I don’t reply right away, I promise I’ll get there eventually.
As I’ve said before, I’m really grateful for all the support so far, and I hope I’ll keep earning it as we go forward. Thanks so much, and take care.
If Sega were to officially disown Princess Elise the Third and all of Soleanna as their own work, and decanonize Sonic ‘06 as an official mainline Sonic game, and then they pass them onto you, what would you do with these discarded materials?
Is Knuckles coin like a real coin or a bit coin?
I’m a little confused what it is. I will have to look it up.
