Technically, I already did, back when the game was new, albeit on iOS
and not PC.

Honestly, I don't remember it being that bad on the iPhone, but
    a) I was playing with touch-screen controls, and that
       already makes the experience worse, and
    b) It's not a genre of game I am particularly endeared too,
       so I only played it for a short time, and I am not expert
       enough to discern the game's weaknesses

So to me, it looked like yet-another-mascot-platformer that I had no
chance of mastering thanks to awful controls (a problem of the
platform, not the game). I stuck with it for a level or two, said,
"Yup, that's Sonic as I remember it," and moved on.

Honestly, the main reason I've never purchased it for PC was its
episodic nature. I just didn't feel like paying twice for a game I
knew wasn't going to get much attention (quite possibly, the second
episode would never get touched). Especially since the episodic nature
of the game felt so completely unnecessary and penny-pinching. But had
the whole thing been packaged together as a single sale, it's far more
likely I would have acquired it for PC years ago.

Still, I look at my library and see a "Sonic 4" shaped hole there, and
I don't deny the 'completionist'* part of my personality is
whispering, "G'won, buy it!".
