Which is a bit ironic, considering all of these are in two compilation packs.
They’re probably going to have a new compilation pack that costs about the same price and has a few additional games…but they didn’t want to just sell DLC/standalone games for the Collections that already exist.
And actually, a lot of these games that are getting delisted can be purchased separately. And maybe even have ROMs that are easily extracted. So maybe they just want to lock things down into an all-or-nothing ROMs-hidden collection or 10.
I wonder if it’s a licensing thing. I know a few of these games had heavy use of licensed music, like Jet Set Radio and Crazy Taxy. At least, the original versions did, I’m not sure if that’s the case for the Steam ports.
they are probably cooking something, maybe their own platform? who knows
Probably remasters or remakes. They don’t want to compete with themselves.
maybe, but for 60 games at once?
This generates “buzz” it’s free marketing
It’ll be in a compilation pack, I’d bet

Someone else here mentioned that Crazy Taxi doesn’t have the licensed music, but it can be modded back in.
…maybe they’re locking down mod support, too? Lol
