>I don’t think SEGA is really all that traumatized by Chronicles and Penders>>132242467>SoJ isn't remotely traumatized by Penders, they simply don't care about him.In my view, Penders is the one who pushed the snowball down the hill. Maybe not the one directly responsible, but the one that started it all... thus, yeah, they don't care about him, but his actions led to the results we see today (along other factors too, I'm not pinning ALL the blame on him, just in case).
>given Archie still went on for a few good years after the lawsuit plus referencing it in the encyclopedia and IDWBut it was after the Pendering that the mandates got worse and worse, culminating with the ones that, allegedly, are in IDW.
And yes, Chronicles was included in the latest encyclopedia, but it was also the only game (as far as I remember) that was declared non-canon in it, so there's that too.
