True, but if I can get the PC version to work, I can add it to my Steam Library. Though whenever my Steam Controller will work for it, that depends. So far, I tested it on the following games through Steam launcher:

• Vanilla SADX ✔
• BetterSADX ✘
• Alex Kidd DX ✔
• Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds ✘
• Sonic Rumble Party ✔

SEGA President Shuji Utsumi says if Sonic is doing good, SEGA is doing good

"Sonic kind of exists as a symbol for SEGA, if Sonic is doing well, then I think the whole company will do well too. Actually, certain developments were only made possible because the Sonic movie did so well, and we hope to be able to use this and connect it to the success of our other IPs.”
He also talked about Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds not hitting sales expectations:

At least it could be played with Sonic Rumble Party.
Would be a huge bummer if two latest Sonic games were all unsupported.
