Sega has decided that an unknown number of its video games on Android and iOS fall short of its quality standards and for this reason it will begin to remove them from the app stores in the coming weeks. This will affect the iOS App Store, Google Play, the Samsung App Store and the Amazon App Store.
A decision that will bring criticism but in part it is well taken. We all like to play those legendary games on our devices, but for the quality they treasure today some are a bit outdated, and if you don't think about relaunching them with improved graphics and control system, the best thing to do is remove them. from the showcases of these app and video game stores.
Without knowing which ones will disappear from virtual stores
Moment it is not known how many and which ones will be definitively eliminated by Sega of virtual stores. Although it has launched a new one that is quite positive and this is that at the right time they could come back fully updated. His thing would be to re-develop them from scratch and have all those iconic SEGA characters in their best form.
Franck Sebastien, PR of Sega, mentions the same in his words: «we are currently evaluating our catalog, and at the moment we cannot say which will remain and which will disappear from the app stores«.
A movement by SEGA that will take their criticism since many of these games are paid with the consequent hassle that it will mean for users that at some point they have acquired one. Hopefully SEGA will find a way to reward them, but it may end up in borage water and users will have to face the reality of not having that video game anymore to download and install it.
The best thing about this news is that possibly we will see for the next few years the return of great sagas like that of Sonic in a better way and let's see a fierce fight between Nintendo, which today announced the arrival of five video games in 2017, and SEGA as in the good old days where they fought for domination in the world of consoles with their respective bets in the form of SuperNes and MegaDrive.
