Sega isn't a small company, it has its roots in the forties, it was made into  the de-facto gaming monster we know today in 1960. Let's say the story takes place in the sixties or even early seventies, Sega was big by then. Might've been not so segnificant, but still a big company.

This whole thing is like another "look this is the darker side of the Sonic frenchise" story, it won't fly, it's not really any good. I suggest you come up with a different idea really. You can obviously keep the "family goes wrong" scenario... we've had a plenty in the real world, read up Chris Benoit for example.

Whatever you do, keep the bloody console games out of it. Definitely not a sonic story, those don't go well with me. I'm pretty lazy with names, and the first name that came to me was "Amy Rose", but that name would confuse the readers with Sonic pastas. So I changed it to "Amy Scarlett", and put the company name as an easter egg.

And i know about the "SEGA isnt a small company" thing. Honestly, once I write something, i'm too lazy to delete or edit it, and just edit it in the next full edit. I wrote "small company" first and thought about what company Amy would work at, and forgot to remove "small".
