Don't know if the achievements still work after removal, sorry.

But this collection isn't available in germany, sadly. There is only a bundle. But thank you for the link! :)

Surely if you own the games already you can earn them still? Same as any other removed games?
But yes I guess they would be locked out for new players.

Yes, that's what I meant. I only own Sonic 2, 1 is also part of the collection's achievements. Sonic CD has no achievements.

I would think you can still get the achievements. I have several delisted/removed for sale games that I got the achievements for after they were removed. The only ones I am not able to get are for achievements that require access to no longer existing online servers for multi-player.

Whenever a company removes the original version of a game to resell it in a different package it always sounds like desperation. As if it wasn't humiliating enough for SEGA that fans make better sonic games, they now make this terrible business decisions on projects they wouldnt even have without Whitehead and alike. What a joke of a company

It's bad practice I don't understand it other than they want to force people to buy a certain version, at higher cost. Some people want all versions or different versions.

Good thing I already own every Sonic game on Steam, and the entire Genesis collection. It's sad because this is/was the easiest way to legally obtain roms of those games for use in 3rd party emulators.

Do you guys think that Sega will put the games on sale before being removed ? Or should I just buy them now ?
