Jon Cartwright @JonComms · Apr 27 Sonic is an environmentalist and would not appreciate this sonicstadium.org/2010/10/naka-s. "Dr Robotnik is a slightly radical representation of all humanity and the impact humanity is having on nature. In 1991, it was a very sensitive subject to talk about the environment and while I had my viewpoint, I did not speak of it. With Sonic, I was given an opportunity to express my views in a different way and did so, showing Robotnik using pollution and creating machinery which desecrates the environment and it is down to Sonic to change his ways." セガ公式アカウント●●@SEGA_OFFICIAL· Apr 26 当社は、double jump .tokyo株式会社との協業による、 プロックチェーンの技術を活用したNFTデジタルコン テンツについて、2021年夏頃を目途に販売を開始しま double jump tekyo す。 ... 10 11 289 O 1K

If you don't speak it, you'll have to use machine translation software to compose your message. You should send a message that mentions that NFTS are harmful to the environment, and that SEGA should consider not selling them. 27 87 O 469 Cosmo @yureiposting · Apr 27 ... Machine translation is far from perfect, but it should get the general idea across, and will let you read the message they send you afterwards.

There's nothing to do here - it simply is confirming that your message was sent successfully. Shortly afterwards, you'll recieve an email in Japanese that should look something like this, confirming the message was sent. ロご注意■ このメールは、ご記入いただいたメールアドレス宛に自動的に送信されています。 このメールに直接返信されないようお願い申し上げます。また、転送等もご遠慮くださ い。 このたびは「セガへのご意見」にご投稿をいただき誠にありがとうございます。 投稿フォーム内にてあらかじめおことわりさせていただいておりますように、 いただいたご投稿について返信はいたしませんが、内容にはすべて目を通し、 今後の参考とさせていただきます。 今後とも、セガグループをよろしくお願い申し上げます。 Thread 17 69 347 Cosmo @yureiposting · Apr 27 There's no guarantee this will make SEGA reconsider this collaboration, but this is the most we can really do about this. We can hope that enough emails providing a warning about the damage NFTS can cause will make the higher-ups reconsider, but we can only hope that will happen. O 2 27 76 O 402 Cosmo @yureiposting Apr 27 Here is the message I sent, in English (was machine translated to Japanese before being sent): Hello, support team. Recently, you had posted an announcement regarding a collaboration to sell NFT products, however, this decision has been poorly recieved by many of your fans. Blockchain technology, including NFTS, takes up a lot of energy, and can have a harmful effect on the environment. This fact, especially after publishing video games that feature themes of saving the environment, has disappointed many of your fans. We, the fans, ask you to please reconsider this deal, and not sell any NFTS going forward. From, Your fans and supporters 17 78 M 466
