This news might be disappointing for SEGA fans who care about the preservation of the companies’ rich history of video games ranging from arcade to consoles, including myself and fellow SEGAbits writers. As of now, SEGA plans to delist a selection of games and bundles from virtual stores across gaming platforms including Steam, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and Playstation starting on December 6th at 11:59pm PST.
If you happen to own the games on the following platforms, they will still be available in your library. You can still get them all for very good prices, so be sure not to miss out on the opportunity. Do you all think that this is a bad decision from SEGA or do you think they might have something planned for the titles down the line?

Oh my God! I was expecting a few… Not a huge part of their catalog. This is crazy. It’s not like they have superior ports, remasters or remakes for most of these games in development so what’s going on?!?
Hope everyone has got a Mini or two.
Could just be in anticipation of one or more new collections sooner or later.
