Roger Craig Smith Reveals Sonic Departure Was His Decision, "It's Time To Be Done"

The timing simply felt right for him to step away and explore new roles, he suggested."

Unhappy with $$$, probably. Won't judge.

It always comes down to money. Sonic games are not the only medium hes in anymore and I would bet Roger not being given a shot at voicing the movie was a factor. Got to wonder what Sonic Team is working on these days....the last legit Sonic game was Forces and it certainly wasn't a bit hit.

Just watched the Sonic movie and have to say, it was not awful. My daughter loved it.

Jim Carrey was great in that movie.
