But, like that Dreamcast controller stashed in your childhood garage, they&#8217;re about to disappear\u2014and getting them back will cost you a nostalgia tax.<\/p>\n<p>Those who have purchased any of <a href=\"https:\/\/support.sega.com\/hc\/en-gb\/articles\/29776767664145-SEGA-Classics-FAQ#h_01JBWBDWT9PXWHVDPMSZB9EB90\">the more than 60 games listed by Sega<\/a> from Steam, Xbox, Nintendo&#8217;s Switch store, and the PlayStation store will still have them after 11:59 pm Pacific time on Dec. 26. But after that, for reasons that Sega does not make explicit, they will be &#8220;delisted and unavailable.&#8221; Titles <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendo.com\/us\/store\/products\/sega-genesis-nintendo-switch-online-switch\/\">specific to the Nintendo Switch Online &#8220;Expansion Pack&#8221; subscription<\/a> will remain.<\/p>\n<p>As PC Gamer has suggested, and which makes the most sense, this looks like Sega is getting ready to offer up new &#8220;classics&#8221; collections on these storefronts. Sega previously rearranged its store shelves to pull Sonic games from online stores and then offer up <em>Sonic Origins. <\/em>The title\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/gaming\/2022\/06\/review-sega-we-need-to-talk-about-how-you-messed-up-sonic-origins\/\">underwhelmed Ars at the time<\/a> and managed to pack in some DLC pitches.<\/p>\n<p>Sega already offers a few bundles and collections in Steam, like the <a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/bundle\/10143\/SEGA_Mega_Drive_and_Genesis_Classics\/\">Mega Drive and Genesis Classics<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/bundle\/14082\/Dreamcast_Collection\/\">Dreamcast Collection<\/a>. As with individual titles, buyers will retain access to them, even after Sega comes back around with new bundles.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"ars-img-shortcode id-2061020 align-center\">\n<div>\n                        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.arstechnica.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/sega1.jpg\" class=\"center full\" alt=\"First-person RPG screenshot showing a character named &quot;SEGA&quot; choosing between actions to take on a Cave Slug, with HP, MP, and LV stats showing.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.arstechnica.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/sega1.jpg 640w, https:\/\/cdn.arstechnica.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/sega1-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\"\/>\n                  <\/div><figcaption>\n<div class=\"caption font-impact mb-4 mt-2 inline-flex flex-row items-stretch gap-1 text-base leading-tight text-gray-300\">\n<p>\n      <em>Shining in the Darkness<\/em> might be the turn-based retro RPG missing from your collection (for 99 cents).<\/p>\n<p>              <span class=\"caption-credit mt-2 whitespace-nowrap text-xs\"><br \/>\n          Credit:<\/p>\n<p>          Sega<\/p>\n<p>                  <\/span>\n          <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>So if you&#8217;ve felt like you wanted to reclaim some Sega moments now, piecemeal, while you still can, the Ars writers can suggest a few places to look. These are links to the Steam store, and are mostly Windows-only, though they can often work through Proton on Linux or Steam Deck, and some work with older mac OS versions. Xbox has a smaller list, while PlayStation and Nintendo offer only the Mega Drive Classics at the moment.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/gaming\/2024\/11\/sega-is-delisting-60-classic-games-from-steam-so-nows-the-time-to-grab-them\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sega has put dozens of its Master System, Genesis, Saturn, and other console titles onto modern game stores over the years.
