Yikes. Furries have made it impossible to take any "anthropomorphic" characters even half-seriously anymore. I miss many walking (and sometimes talking) animals not being complete losers. Such as...
Characters like Sonic and Crash have survived because they were already established. Freedom Planet did pretty well (and is a good platformer) but its characters are directly based on Sonic designs.
The furry indie games that occasionally pop up always flop, likely in part because of most people being too embarrassed to have them in their libraries.
Those tossers destroyed that which they cherish most.
