Renew or die is a motto that can be consistently applied to the world of technology. Also in terms of video games, a market in which lately the remasterings and reissues seem to be trend, despite those who expect innovations. Perhaps for this reason the company SEGA, well known for a couple of decades by titles like Sonic The Headhog , has decided to remove outdated games from the app stores of major mobile platformsThe question now is whether, after that, they will return in a renewed format and appearance.
The announcement was made by herselfSEGAthrough her blog, where a concise and unclear publication talks about this odd decision. The text gives the reason for wanting players to have the best possible experience, marrying high quality standards that SEGA wants to provide That is why it will get rid of some titles published through Google Play for terminals Android, Galaxy Apps for terminals from Samsung , Amazon App Store also for Android and App Store for iOS Of course, the most curious thing is that does not offer the definitive list of games supposedly outdated or of poor quality that will be removed
It only clarifies that players who have paid for any of these titles will continue to be able to enjoy them. Even if they uninstall them Through the purchased applications section of each content store they can go back to get them and download them in a new terminalwithout any problem. All this until the compatibility of the operating system or platform is not possible.
However. SEGA also leaves an open door for the return of this content. And it is that, although it affirms it is not working on anything in this regard, it does say that these contents could be updated and comply with the standards quality that have been set for the user's enjoyment. However, it is to be expected that this decision will have to do with the commercial aspect and the value given to the disappearance of some of its titles.
With all this, it is not clear if SEGA wants to raise the quality of its titles or simply remove those that are not offering a good image. Of course, its collection of games and content is starring classic sagas that have been entertaining for many years through different video consoles. Among them, the oldest are the great and original Jet Set Radio, where you can skate and paint throughout the city, or the puzzles of ChuChu Rocket The rest of the titles like all varieties of Sonic, Crazy Taxi and After Burner are reissues that have opted for the platform mobile with more or less success. So they don't look outdated or low quality titles
For now we will have to wait and see what SEGA is up to, taking advantage of the moment to get hold of those classic games that you want to enjoy on your mobile before they are withdrawn. And it is that its elimination will take place over the next few weeks.
