Yea most people don't pirate out of convenience but out of necessity because the product aren't available for purchase on modern systems. It's a problem that is self created by publishers and it amazes me that they still wonder why people want to pirate old games when the answer is right there. Make games available for purchase and then most people won't want to pirate them anymore because it would be easier to just buy it.
@@Gigi4u Sometimes not even just cause the product isnt available for purchase but because shit in this country is just too fucking expensive nowadays and they cant afford the money for a lot of the big games nowadays, especially with the 70 dollar thing now.
@@PinBBro I don't buy games often and the times I do it's when there is a sale. The few times I do buy a game at full price is when it's something I'm incredibly hyped about and want day one. Personally I don't find it that justifiable to pirate for that reason because games aren't vital for you and you can always pick it up later. And with new games that are genuinely good it feels like you are disrespecting the hard work of developers by just taking it. The only context were I find it justifiable to pirate is when a company is just sitting on a game and doing nothing with it for decades, by that point they are no longer making profits from the game and it isn't available on modern systems so we're is the harm in taking it.
What these companies also don't realize is that: 1) Piracy doesn't equal to lost sales as the majority of people that pirate the game wouldn't have bought it in the first place. 2) Removing the option to pirate something doesn't magically make said pirates buy your stuff, it's more likely they'll ignore it and go do something else.
I got the Classics collection on Switch, but kinda miss the latter Sonic platformers (I did already play the bejesus out of them on Genesis that said) but really wish it had Super Hang-On too (now that one I don't really understand).

@@supersmashbro596 hopefully. Just seems strange for them to do it. Could be an NSO thing. (Man imagine a Dreamcast emulator on switch.) They are reviving a whole bunch of their old IPs like the ones they are getting rid of, so they most likely have plans, your right.
I'm betting they're going to release a new collection. Because that's what Sega has done every generation, starting with the Saturn and Sonic Jam. From there, we got the Sega Smash Pack, and the Sonic Mega Collection, and then Sonic's ultimate collection, then the Dreamcast games on PC, then Genesis Classics. This ain't new, this is just the first time they've delisted because all the others were on physical media or had the digital stores shutdown first. I'm betting we'll see a new Dreamcast collection in some form. I'm just hoping it's more than six games and that one is Skies of Arcadia.
I don’t understand how people will say the in development game looks soulless when it won’t even come out until 2026, like yes it’s gonna look subpar it’s still being worked on lol.
@@Krystalmyth also like I said the game isn’t going to come out for a few years still, we saw 8 seconds of B-roll I feel it’s a bit too early to call it “soulless” especially most of the original devs are back for this one and Sega is actually letting them have a decently long dev cycle.
Seeing Sega doing what the other game companies are doing what people hate really scares me. They would NEVER do this before unless they were in the console market.
It could be because they know there’s no way in hell they’ll be able to justify pricing PS1 and PS2 games at 50-60 dollars so to them (the shareholders) not making maximum profit may as well be making no profit at all and so don’t bother dedicating resources to them
My opinion: SEGA already had to announced the next level project (revival all iPs from a different studios) and I bet SEGA will tease something something that we pleased

Ok, that was on you. They said they were delisting it and you waited until it got delisted, which wasn't even their fault. They didn't choose to delist it, they were forced to by some copyright that they didn't renew. The game was worth the purchase and you skimped out on it.
That would make anybody mad he tried to be nice and reasonable to buy the Sega games but when he refused to sell them knowing that they ain't doing nothing with them he just resorted to whooping that butt

They better release a Saturn collection as an apology, after all, it would be a way to celebrate its 30th birthday that happen a while back.
@@Secretaryyoshi They might have plans to put these games in a collection, hence the delisting. That isn’t confirmed by SEGA, and is only speculation, but I hope it happens, cuz it’s kinda expensive to play vintage games on original hardware.
@@FarmFamGaming Sega really needs to look at their Saturn library, along with 32X, Dreamcast and their Arcade games as they're either rising in price or finding harder and harder to find.

@@FarmFamGaming As a Videogame historical in Hardware and Software, I find Sega's choice in the last few years on this subject to be a betrayal.

Because Sega is one of the companies that created the GD-ROM, could they try to preserve their games they made on a media they created?

@@ThunderTheYellowJolteon Oh great, it's not like they've made a bunch already. I'm still waiting for the day they pair up Sonic 2, Unleashed, and Adventure in one pack even though they have no business being in the same collection.
Reminds me why we possibly aren't getting a re-release of Jet Set Future and must be the same for Jet Set Radio. music licenses and how fussy it is to re negotiate for them. Frustrating all the same, especially since they were willing to keep the Steam version and mobile versions up for so long.
I have no idea what Sega's strategy was here. They've built up some consideriable goodwill from the fan community over the last few years. This recent move nedlessly undermines said goodwill, especially where they own 95% of these games.
Damn, i JUST bought the Dreamcast games for my Steam Deck... on which they don't work all that well. (At least Crazy Taxi didn't. And for SADX i also had to jump through some hoops.) Wonder if that's the one of the reasons as to why they don't sell these ports anymore...
There's legit no reason for sega to delist classics, is there some weird restriction for steam developers that's having them remove the game??? Also I don't own SXShadow Generations, but it seems like the game does have enough notable differences from the original sonic generations.
There’s no restriction, this is all them just wanting to remove them. Sonic gens does have differences, but gameplay for the most part is unchanged, it’s mostly dialogue being altered.
Sega makes some odd choices, but it's possible it could come back. SA2B was delisted in my area when I wanted to buy it, so I just bought a key from a different region on another site. Some time later (a year or two maybe?) I noticed SA2B had been relisted in my area. No idea why they did it but I imagine there was some sort of legal reason
I swear sega (and especially sonic team) could fart in a jar, not even have the common courtesy to check if its cracked and they'd be praised as saints of the video game industry. They are not, please open your eyes, they are almost, if not just ubisoft with a blue coat of paint. They release incredibly unfinished games and have the nerve to charge upwards of 95 to OVER 100 australian dollars for it. They are willing to charge over $100 for a "remaster" of a game that is over a decade old if nintendo charging 60 to 80 dollars for what barley qualifies as an enhanced port wasn't bad enough) and now, they've delisted all their classic games on steam after they so lovingly did for sonic cd, 1, 2 and 3 to force people to buy the newer and shittier rerelease, which they also (predictably) did for sonic generations.. Oh well, i guess i'll have to look into illegally acquiring the steam keys for crazy taxi, sega bass fishing, sonic cd and the many sega genesis collection games that didn't buy whilst I still had the chance as I no have intention on supporting their anti-consumer business practices :) Bravo Sega!

They better bring the games back, better than ever! Also Outrun 2006! Any. Way. Possible! That game needs a new life on modern platforms! Like many other sega games!
One thing i find dumb with some delisted games is that I can still purchase them on PS3’s Store page fsr. I mean I got Jet Set Radio, Daytona USA and even Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike - Online Edition despite those games being delisted on other platforms for years lol Tho I’m not saying it’s the best option cuz you still need to manually add your funds since you can’t pay automatically on PS3 and Vita anymore, and in my experience at least, I can only do it on my PS4 cuz PlayStation’s site doesn’t add my funds to my PSN account, despite doing all of the steps. Plus don’t go out and look for a PS3 for 1 game unless you’re planning to get more PS3 games in the future lol
I heard Sonic Origins had save files locked to one character each, so a Sonic playthrough is just one save file; so instead of like what Sonic 3&K or Mania did when it comes to saving. Who at Sega Team is their software engineer and why are they allowed to live? That's why there's the option of Sonic 1 Forever and Sonic 2 Absolute. Why is it that fans with a decompiled Android version of those two games can do a much better job of basic features like Save files?
@@FarmFamGaming I think it's both incompetence and a cash grab. Yeah the new cutscenes are cool; the stuff done outside of Sonic Team seems nice in Origins. It really must've been Sonic Team's B or even C team that put this together; the saves thing is just amateur in software engineering. The glitches people have been showing are very odd.
Good news is i have the carts, bad news is my fav game for the sega genesis is musha which is now 700$+ so i need other ways to play it after i sell it... Not that i would ever consider piracy. That's clearly wrong right?
Did Sega change in the past few years because it’s funny how it seems like their image about caring about fans really changed very fast unless these game removals are for another Sega classic collection or possibly a hd remaster port that may be bad?
@@nicholaslemaster Ports/remasters from them are hit or miss, on one hand we have Sonic colors ultimate, on the other we have Sonic x shadow generations. They will most likely release them to NSO, or have them as a collection on steam. I think they will prob be on NSO in 2025, as Nintendo has said that 2025 will be a big year for NSO, so I guess let’s just see. Also yes they have changed a lot lol.

@@mooseman3027 Don't worry, they'll make another collection for the 1939103904914490th time.
@@ThunderTheYellowJolteon Oh great, it's not like they've made a bunch already. I'm still waiting for the day they pair up Sonic 2, Unleashed, and Adventure in one pack even though they have no business being in the same collection.
This is a new low for sega... :(
@@SuperLucario64 It’s really disappointing :(
The end was the cherry on top
Thanks!
Reminds me why we possibly aren't getting a re-release of Jet Set Future and must be the same for Jet Set Radio. music licenses and how fussy it is to re negotiate for them.
Frustrating all the same, especially since they were willing to keep the Steam version and mobile versions up for so long.
@@spamhands6993 never say never.
Its on steamunlocked...
"Do as you want coz a pirate is fre... you are a pirate!!!"
Sadly Steamunlocked is infested with viruses from what I heard, but there's a good alternative called Steamrip. I dunno if they have it there though
Iirc tho, that site isn't 100% safe
There's more trustworthy alternatives out there, just do a bit of research
I am lucky I still have these things as physical media
@@furrysourcecode9809 Very lucky
I have no idea what Sega's strategy was here. They've built up some consideriable goodwill from the fan community over the last few years. This recent move nedlessly undermines said goodwill, especially where they own 95% of these games.
@@alexh2790 They are prob gonna remaster these games hopefully, but yeah it’s not really nice to the people playing, or actually going to play.
im absolutely praying they get out some sort of collection again to compensate otherwise we riot
@son1c_gamer They hopefully will, cuz why would they even get rid of these in the first place.
Just emulate bro
@@BrigadoonZyphoon True, but companies hate when you don’t get their roms legally, even when they don’t sell them 😒

@@FarmFamGaming"companies hate when you do that"
*Good.* Let's pirate even harder then.
@@nobodyinparticular9640doesn't really solve the issue that started this.
Especially when you have hacks and such.
I really want SEGA back in the console race, but maybe like Handheld console this time. I really hope it happens.
I doubt it, but it’d be neat
Damn i just learned about this game from cybershell
It’s a good game too. You can still emulate it, but you have to be careful where you find roms. I recommend Internet Archive.
@FarmFamGaming I can't do that because i own a shitty chrome book but thanks for the suggestion

@@Aduflow2 Thanks!
Damn, i JUST bought the Dreamcast games for my Steam Deck... on which they don't work all that well. (At least Crazy Taxi didn't. And for SADX i also had to jump through some hoops.) Wonder if that's the one of the reasons as to why they don't sell these ports anymore...
@@supermariohack3218 that’s pretty lucky ngl.
There's legit no reason for sega to delist classics, is there some weird restriction for steam developers that's having them remove the game??? Also I don't own SXShadow Generations, but it seems like the game does have enough notable differences from the original sonic generations.
There’s no restriction, this is all them just wanting to remove them. Sonic gens does have differences, but gameplay for the most part is unchanged, it’s mostly dialogue being altered.
Sega makes some odd choices, but it's possible it could come back. SA2B was delisted in my area when I wanted to buy it, so I just bought a key from a different region on another site. Some time later (a year or two maybe?) I noticed SA2B had been relisted in my area. No idea why they did it but I imagine there was some sort of legal reason
@@TheNewRobotMaster that’s pretty strange
I swear sega (and especially sonic team) could fart in a jar, not even have the common courtesy to check if its cracked and they'd be praised as saints of the video game industry. They are not, please open your eyes, they are almost, if not just ubisoft with a blue coat of paint.
They release incredibly unfinished games and have the nerve to charge upwards of 95 to OVER 100 australian dollars for it.
They are willing to charge over $100 for a "remaster" of a game that is over a decade old if nintendo charging 60 to 80 dollars for what barley qualifies as an enhanced port wasn't bad enough) and now, they've delisted all their classic games on steam after they so lovingly did for sonic cd, 1, 2 and 3 to force people to buy the newer and shittier rerelease, which they also (predictably) did for sonic generations..
Oh well, i guess i'll have to look into illegally acquiring the steam keys for crazy taxi, sega bass fishing, sonic cd and the many sega genesis collection games that didn't buy whilst I still had the chance as I no have intention on supporting their anti-consumer business practices :)
Bravo Sega!
I get the feeling SEGA is doing this either for a good reason or their hands were forced
Could be either one

I’m not a lazy town fan, but the song is funny for piracy lol

@@raymondmesa8258 it’s dumb and sad :(
I bought all of them after i heard the announcement
@@Palmtop_User I bought jet set radio, crazy taxi, and the genesis classics collection after the announcement.
Sega doing what Nintendid...
Yep
... I mean, to be fair, they aren't the ones taking down the roms or anyone backing up older games. They're just delisting the PC versions... Anyway let's pray they won't be Nintendo- XD
They better bring the games back, better than ever!
Also Outrun 2006! Any. Way. Possible! That game needs a new life on modern platforms! Like many other sega games!
@@ShadowBasch Yes! 💯
Lmao and today i saw a "sega is back" video, that didnt age very well
Sonic, sure. SEGA? They need a little improvement lol
One thing i find dumb with some delisted games is that I can still purchase them on PS3’s Store page fsr. I mean I got Jet Set Radio, Daytona USA and even Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike - Online Edition despite those games being delisted on other platforms for years lol
Tho I’m not saying it’s the best option cuz you still need to manually add your funds since you can’t pay automatically on PS3 and Vita anymore, and in my experience at least, I can only do it on my PS4 cuz PlayStation’s site doesn’t add my funds to my PSN account, despite doing all of the steps. Plus don’t go out and look for a PS3 for 1 game unless you’re planning to get more PS3 games in the future lol
Weird they never thought of that
And we never got Future again, not even backwards compatibility on One/Series
@@soulsolis3096 Future deserves better
@@FarmFamGaming Absolutely, even in Emulation on PC, it's still a too flawed to be enjoyable, like the crackling beeping sound on XEMU

at this point if they are just going to de list everything and not port games that are old just get a emulator

@@masterseal0418 😔
Wait JSRF was never on steam to start so they removed JSR? Do i still get to play my purchased copy
@@MrMastrmonstr You can still play your purchased games, but you can’t buy them moving forward.
I heard Sonic Origins had save files locked to one character each, so a Sonic playthrough is just one save file; so instead of like what Sonic 3&K or Mania did when it comes to saving. Who at Sega Team is their software engineer and why are they allowed to live?
That's why there's the option of Sonic 1 Forever and Sonic 2 Absolute.
Why is it that fans with a decompiled Android version of those two games can do a much better job of basic features like Save files?
Because Sonic Origins was a rushed cash grab. If every game in the compilation used S3&K type of save files, that woulda been so much better.
@@FarmFamGaming I think it's both incompetence and a cash grab. Yeah the new cutscenes are cool; the stuff done outside of Sonic Team seems nice in Origins. It really must've been Sonic Team's B or even C team that put this together; the saves thing is just amateur in software engineering. The glitches people have been showing are very odd.
I hate to admit it, but piracy is looking more and more enticing everyday.
@@Mister_Don888 Especially when companies pull stunts like this
Good news is i have the carts, bad news is my fav game for the sega genesis is musha which is now 700$+ so i need other ways to play it after i sell it...
Not that i would ever consider piracy. That's clearly wrong right?
It’s illegal to distribute the roms, not really downloading or emulating. Go crazy lol

What are people who are afraid to pirate gonna do now? :(
@@midi_feline If it makes them feel better, it’s only illegal to distribute roms, not necessarily downloading them

SEGA Forever, huh?
*Spongebob throws paper into fire saying SEGA forever*
Did Sega change in the past few years because it’s funny how it seems like their image about caring about fans really changed very fast unless these game removals are for another Sega classic collection or possibly a hd remaster port that may be bad?
@@nicholaslemaster Ports/remasters from them are hit or miss, on one hand we have Sonic colors ultimate, on the other we have Sonic x shadow generations. They will most likely release them to NSO, or have them as a collection on steam. I think they will prob be on NSO in 2025, as Nintendo has said that 2025 will be a big year for NSO, so I guess let’s just see. Also yes they have changed a lot lol.
M maybe they're gonna put both JSR and JSRF in one bundle this time to build hype for the remake?... r-right?...
That would be awesome, let’s hope!

Nothing will change if people continue to support broken, unfinished games
Tho guess that's wishful thinking since, even if the whole world stopped buying their games, they'd hardly go bankrupt, what with all the other merchandise and whatnot they got going
