what is happening ?

[Hidron]

It had something to do with the release of Sonic Origins. Some marketing "genius" with SEGA thought it would generate new sales.

Yep. Now, the only way to get Sonic 1, 2 and 3 on PC is through other methods such as Sonic Mega Collection Plus.

I bought this before they removed Sonic 1, 2, and 3 from the pack. Still shows in my collection when I boot up the game on my PC. Now I don't want to uninstall it in case I won't get them back.

Don't worry, you keep the DLC. They only removed it from the store so nobody can buy it anymore. I did a fresh install yesterday and got all my Sonic games. The DLC should also show up in your library. It's the same as with any other game or DLC that get removed from the store. What's already in your library stays since you paid for it.

Do you own Sonic 1 in the collection? If you do, then yes, you can still get the achievements for it.

Yea but I guess any new sega classic buyers are locked out of that achievement. Maybe they should remove the achievement. Am I mistaken or wasn't there also an achievement for sonic2?

Honestly don't really see the point in removing the classic sonics as they are pretty bare boned. They could of just left it alone you would still get other rare sonic games in a collection.

There's no reason to remove those achievements. There's no inherent problem with future purchasers not being able to get all the achievements.

How do they get the achievements if they can't buy the game tho?

They can't. But that's not inherently a problem.

How is that not a problem?

It's not a problem because the vast, vast majority of the game's player base did not care to try to get all the achievements. Really, committing oneself to 100%ing the achievements is very much a niche activity.

About 0.7% of this game's player base got all the achievements. The majority of the people who would ever be interested in this collection already bought it. There is not a large, untapped market of people who want this game, haven't bought it yet, and want to be able to get all the achievements. Those people, if they exist at all, form a very tiny group. Also, anybody for whom the ability to get all achievements is a necessity is also someone who would check to make sure that's possible before buying a game.

It is not a given that all achievements in any given game should be achievable. Not being able to get them all, while it might annoy some, is not inherently a problem. It certainly wouldn't justify removing achievements that others worked for and already got.

Not everyone dislikes achievements and having a game discontinue an achievement is really odd.

I'm not in the group who has a compulsive disorder cause I can't get all achievements, but if I really like a game, find the achievements possible, and actually buy a game to play it, not collect it and put it on a shelf, I'll try and fully beat it. To me its no different than what stars in mario 64 were, Or secrets in doom. I don't collect all secrets in doom1 or 2 but if that's something someone enjoys good for them. What would doom still be doom if ID removed all secret areas?

I really don't see why the sonic games were removed from the collection. Ya know they could easily fix this by ya know, maybe giving us the sonics in this collection free. I mean its not like everyone with a genesis back then didn't have them, sometimes in the same cartridge. But hey it don't matter to me either way I only bought sonic2 cause I already beat 1, 3 and could care less for SnK's insane difficulty. Already got the fantastic sonic cd on here, only thing that's disappointing for me is no more sonic spinball shoulda bought that one when I had the chance its actually a great game. But he we fans don't own the companies all we can do is speak our useless opinions that the companies never even look at.

Before the sega collection they were actually their own games with their own achievements and I preferred that to making them cheap anthology games. But hey keep on changing the games guys its not confusing or downgrading at all.
