maybe, but for 60 games at once?

This generates "buzz" it's free marketing

It'll be in a compilation pack, I'd bet

Which is a bit ironic, considering all of these are in two compilation packs.

They're probably going to have a new compilation pack that costs about the same price and has a few additional games...but they didn't want to just sell DLC/standalone games for the Collections that already exist.

And actually, a lot of these games that are getting delisted can be purchased separately. And maybe even have ROMs that are easily extracted. So maybe they just want to lock things down into an all-or-nothing ROMs-hidden collection or 10.
