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*

"* Jet Set Radio, Crazy Taxi, and more Sega games are set to return with remakes and live-service reboots.

"* We've seen countless developers try and fail to break into the live-service space, and twisting beloved cult classics in that goal is just asking for disaster."


I know nothing of these Sega reboots or if they actually are "set to return with live-service reboots" or whatever, but I wouldn't put it past modern Sega, and if they are, then yeah, dead as shit on arrival, at least as far as I'm concerned. But then, I was never into Crazy Taxi or Jet Set Radio to start with, so... *shrug*

The comments under the article, on the other hand, just show, yet again, why companies like this do the shit they do.
