Digital Game Delistings Spur Retro Gaming & Preservation Markets
The large-scale delisting of over 100 digital game titles highlights the ongoing challenge of digital media preservation and ownership. This situation creates a niche but active market for solutions related to game preservation (e.g., archiving initiatives, emulation tools), the physical retro gaming market (as physical copies of delisted games become more valuable), and potentially 'last chance' sales models for other digital content. It reinforces the value of physical media and independent archiving efforts in the digital age.

Isn't this the one where they're just transfering publisher - so theyll be gone then back up within a few days/weeks under a new publisher

I think it’s something having to do with the publishers selling to another one. I might be wrong on the exact info. But I don’t think it’s related to the whole bank and censorship thing going
