"My Post-Election Post, Different Than I Had Originally Intended It to Be"

A post on John Scalzi's Whatever.

I agree with pretty much all of it.

Sega is apparently delisting most of their old stuff on Steam and such

Pick your poison as far as articles about it.

PC Gamer: "Sega is delisting a huge number of its greatest classic games on Steam, probably so it can sell you a new collection"

Gamesradar+: "Out of nowhere after 14 years, Sega's killing off one of the only sources of legal ROMs on the entire internet as it delists 60 classic games"

TheVerge: "A whole bunch of Sega classics are being delisted"

Probably a lot of other places in addition to the above where one could read about this, but those are the three I immediately saw via Google News App today.

As for me, I fall into the category of already having most of them and not caring that much about the ones I don't, but I still think it sucks, just on general principle, that Sega is doing this. Oh well, it's not like the games are forever lost, in most cases, thanks to unofficial/unsanctioned emulation. *shrug*
