@xaustinx, "Removing stocks and cashing out is essentially starting a trend of betrayal for those of us who have chosen to play the long game in lieu of a quick and hearty return on guaranteed sellers."
I think part of the point is to get people to stop sinking their captial in these stocks that don't move and get everyone to focus their attention on just a few games to get more accurate forecasts.
As Charron has pointed out in the past, the community may not be big enough to support the 330 so stocks that are currently listed on the simExchange. As many of us have noticed, there are tons of stocks that are wildly misspriced but have not corrected because they have fallen to the wayside and been overlooked.
A prediction market should not function as a lagging indicator where people go shorting stocks months after the lack of sales should've been priced in.
The problem with the stocks is that there really is no information on sales if the game isn't a big seller. We then rely on VGChartz's speculation on very small unit sales, which are dubious at best.
I think it is better overall to start cutting the "unwanted fat," prevent the listing of new fat, and get people focused on trading the futures contracts that are most relevant to the industry.
