@pilias_simber, The more comments posted about this issue, the clearer it is becoming that there needs to be a rubric established. A couple quick points on what those could be: the game has been released in all intended markets, and it has been released for a long enough time for sales to have dribbled out. Others, like trading activity/percent of volume traded per day would also have to be addressed.
Side note: maybe the top 250 (or less or more, whatever) could put together lists of criteria stocks should meet to be delisted, then a compiled list could be gone over by the top 10% of the exchange?
It's tricky to delist something, in real life. Usually, when things are delisted it's because the price has plummeted below the floor of any real money making possibility. I think it would be up to individual traders to determine what stocks would be "pink sheet" targets, aka stocks that look about to be delisted. It would simulate more the real world trading environment, I think. At the same time, there can't really be posts like the one today, where there's just a list of stocks announced to delist. That's a little bit shady, I think. I know there'd be uproar if that happened in the real world.

@Alpha,
There's nothing you said that I can say better, so this quote is just serving as a bump. : )
