As was mentioned in the Blog, if we really want The Sim Exchange to matter more to the larger industry then we should put more emphasis on the initial sales of games. A couple thousand sales 8 months after a game has sold don't matter nearly that much in the grand scheme of things, the couple hundred thousand moved in a single month by the game in it's launch month are what the analysts, and the companies watch the most.
It just makes sense to retire very old stocks, it frees up old money and allows you to reinvest it in more relevant stocks. There is only so much money to go around and honestly who really cares about those old stocks anymore? They are mostly minor titles that are coming close to a year old, many of them are looking at sequels coming soon. Do we really need to continue to sink our DKP into them to fight over 1 or 2 DKP? Or would that money be better suited for games that are coming out now?
