Some fans have shared videos and photos showing their obstructed views, while others have complained about the high prices of these tickets. However, some fans have encouraged others to still purchase these tickets, arguing that being in the same room as their favorite artists is worth it.
Fans are complaining about the audio emulation in Sonic Origins Plus, an expansion pack for Sonic Origins that includes all 12 Sonic titles released on the Game Gear.

Despite the complaints, some fans are happy to have the option to play the Game Gear titles on a modern system.
