- Content needs to absolutely touch on his openness, approachableness, and forthcomingness. After thirty something years of Sonic being mismarketed as edgy and coming off as horribly out of touch, Weber is the freshing face of genuineness. He's one of those rare individuals who can pull of VISIBLY appearing and showing the passion of a fan, while still being smart enough to capably handle the business/studio/brand/business side of things. I mean a lot of his history's gonna touch on this anyways but his outgoing and friendly personality has done SO much for Sonic. He brought the hope. And he's a big reason why Mania happened- which is obviously a huge team effort, and its not like his involvement/significance with Mania isn't commonly known, but if you had pulled JUST him alone out of that team so many years ago, there's a dang good chance we would have never seen Mania in the first place. Obvious obvious but needs mentioning, and wrap it into the above themes.
