I assume it costs them nothing to keep those games listed. Which makes no sense to just remove them for no reason. So what's the reason?

1. They're going to start selling them via their own newly made store front?
2. They're making a new console and going to pull all their IPs exclusive to that console.
3. They're smoking crack cocaine.
4. They intend to re-release them at a later date with "improvements" of some sort and don't want to compete against themselves.

Tax writeoffs? I think theres such a thing with streaming.
