It is always a bit saddening to see games delisted from Steam, even if they are for very obviously legitimate reasons such as license expiration. Yesterday, SEGA joined the companies that delist their games and announced that they will be taking down their classic Genesis and Dreamcast titles that are currently available on Steam.
The games will be available for 1 more month until December 6th at 11:59pm PST. Afterwards, they will not be available for purchase. If you have already purchased the games, you will still have access to them in your libraries, so you can continue playing them if desired, but you won't be able to purchase.
The games being delisted are part of the Dreamcast Collection (Not including Sonic Adventure 1 and 2) and Genesis Classics Bundle and cost between $0.99 and $7.99 each. All of these games do work on the Steam Deck to some degree as well, so it may be a good idea to quickly get the games before they go offline.
There's no reason provided, but with SEGA revisiting older titles, they could be preparing to do something new with these series. I doubt all of them will be getting new entries, but I can see some of these making a return like Crazy Taxi and Jet Set Radio. Either way, we have 1 month to get them, so best to do it now if you want any of these titles!
