On the other hand, how long until he gets bored of it? I mean definitely not any time soon, for sure. But if you follow the timeline of his escapism, it starts out slow with Sonic, then goes to Sonichu, then MLP, now dimensions. They all had varying levels of either escapism or community. Sonichu was his original vein, egotistical way to create a community around Sonic, seeing something he liked and trying to claim it as his own by hijacking it, going as far as to expect Nintendo and Sega to owe him for improving their idea. As he began to rot from age and isolation settled in, he got into MLP because of it's massive, accepting community. Now the Merge is Sonichu 2, to a whole new level. Now he's taking MLP, along with a mishmash of every other IP he likes for good measure, and just mixing it up into his own original thing that he expects to become more popular than it's source material. This time it's not just a comic, but an entire religion, since Chris is aging and become more weary of his mortality and circumstances. Will he stick with the Merge until he croaks? Maybe. But I don't see him sticking with it forever. Eventually, he'll get bored, realize it's not doing anything for his circumstances or isolation, and go on to something else. Just like he did Sonichu. Don't conflate Sonichu with the Merge, just because the Merge incorporates Sonichu doesn't mean it's the same thing in spirit, remember Sonichu was his dream of a multimedia empire, the Merge is an entire religion.
