Abandonware has been a thing for a long time.
This is not abandonware. The devs haven't abandoned their games. This is an active and purposeful fuck you from the publisher to the devs.
It costs them literally nothing to keep those games up, and yet they're taking them down against the devs' wishes. In fact, they refuse to be the least bit convenient to the devs, making them jump through hoops just to relist their own games.
