    It’s likely just meaning new compilations coming down the line as there is zero cost and zero maintenance for them to keep the games up otherwise and is entirely passive income.

      The cost isn’t necessarily zero. Old games are often removed due to music licenses that are about to expire.

        I’m talking purely about the work needed to be done on the Steam backend and such. Also in this case, most of these old games - minus Crazy Taxi and perhaps one or two other Dreamcast games - don’t have licensed music.
