The number of games being delisted this time may seem large, but this is because we have not delisted games for several months. We were receiving strong interest from users to get a lot of titles delisted and the list became very big.
The games selected for delisting are old titles that have been around for a long time, which diminishes any further utility for forecasting a title's sales. Remember, the purpose of this site is to function as a prediction market, and from our feedback from the industry, predictions are really only useful up until the game goes gold. However, we also aim to refine that forecast once sales occur, but the value of trading these stocks fall off when people stop trading them. Players want to get their DKP out to trade new stocks without negatively impacting the forecast, which is why we need to delist stocks in a timely matter.
