Will this get delisted since the newer version is coming out?

[RPG Gamer Man]

Sega tends to delist older games in it's series, which i think is a shame because even the older ones have their charm. They did this with almost all original sonic games, now there going it do it to with sonic generations since a newer version is coming soon, and i think it is possible with this game. What are all your thoughts on this?

New sonic generations version:

Newer version of Persona 3:

This shouldn't be the case. P3P and P3R are two totally different things...

I grabbed P3P just to be safe

Unlikely. Ignoring the fact that Reload is the worst version of Persona 3 since the original release due to it missing significant content, Portable was just re-released last year.

I hear it pulls a Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster and removes all extra content

Huh..interesting. Still, this may only stay up for this year and get pulled next year possibly. I am basing this on how sega acted in the past.

It wouldn't get delisted over Remake. They purposely put this version up knowing remake was coming. And it features the FemaleMC playthrough missing from the new version.

Just because the game is a little different still does not guarantee it won't get delisted. For example, original sonic 1, 2, and 3 are different from Sonic Origin version. One example is they added the hidden palace level in the Sonic Origin, and the ability to play with different characters in almost all levels now. These features were not in the original sonic games. So that makes them different. Being different is no guarantee this will eventually be delisted off steam. Sega also has a bad habit of delisting "older" versions of game, even with slight differences in them, or one version has something added. Since this version came out first, it is considered the older version. As others have pointed out, this one came out first.

Another example is that Sonic Generations and The newer version are slightly different. Many people already on the Sonic Generations forum are arguing why they did not just put this as dlc on the original sonic generation game. I can tell you why. It has to do with greed and how dlc does not sell as much as full games. This is one reason why Sega does this. To sell games you have to buy over again just to get some new content.

If you can show me evidence they do not delist older games in the past, then sure, i will agree they won't delist, but please provide me evidence to that effect as i have provided my side of evidence about sonic 1,2, and 3 and sonic origns, and also sonic generations.

As mentioned on the other thread, they did not delist Persona 5 when Persona 5 Royale came out on Playstation 5. They even tried to sell Ps4 and Ps5 versions of Royale separately to PS5 owners. Didn't even give a free upgrade and continue to sell them separately.

Persona games probably make for a better example than Sonic in my opinion. Add to that the fact both the P3P and P3G ports are relatively new releases and I think they'll stick around for the time being.

Sorry,, i did not know about the ps4 and ps5 as i do not own those systems. That is fair enough evidence. Ok, i can see they will stick around possibly awhile.

Yeah, and it's garbage as a result. That on top of them making it less like Persona 3 and more like Persona 5.

segas only ever delisted sonic, and alpha protocol on pc [licence issue] they wont delist this. and sonic was sonic team choice, id be more worried about generations.

I don't care what they delist on consoles because its a closed platform and all their stores will eventually close anyway.

[Haseo8]

I don't believe it will be delisted. They're completely different experiences. And... I don't think Reload was released to replace portable they just released. 2 entirely different experiences, meant to exist together, that's how I see it anyway.
