PSA: Dreamcast & Genesis Collections to be delisted from Steam!

[Groove the Pelican]

Basically what the title says, Sega's Dreamcast and Genesis/Mega Drive games will be delisted from the Steam marketplace as of December 6th.
I'd wait until Black Friday to see if they go on sale, but the Dreamcast collection is $37.63 and the Genesis collection is $36.30, together a little more than a modern AAA game for 55 Genesis/Mega Drive games and 7 Dreamcast games.
The Sonic games will still be available through the Sonic Legacy Collection, but other classics such as Jet Set Radio will be gone.

According to Sonic Central, there are over 60 retro Sega titles that will be removed off of current digital stores on December 6th. Along with these, Sega Genesis/Mega Drive Classics will be removed off of all digital platforms available, meaning that this game will soon no longer be legally accessable.

Oh, how dare they?!

My only speculations are that

A) Sega considers these titles to benefit less than their new releases, and thus want to remove them off.

B) They might be working on a new bundle containing these titles. Then again, Sega Genesis Classics was that for, well, Genesis; and that is being removed as well.

There are two choices for you whow ant to play these: buy them right now before December 6th, or just emulate these games.

Dude, for SEGA of all people to do this? I'm honestly shocked.

Don't ask me why, but I think they're setting up for a Dreamcast 2 or something like that. Really just wishful thinking though.
