Atari announced withdrawal from sale on Steam and closure of the collection community Arcade Case, in anticipation of the release of the new Atari 50 collection on November 11, 2022: Anniversary Celebration. Obviously, those who own the first can keep it in their account and continue downloading in the future.
Obviously Atari wants to avoid any confusion by giving the new product more power, but there are some issues that remain unresolved and not explained via text message with the announcement of the novelty. The most tricky one concerns the protection of games, which should be one of the objectives of these operations.
Basically, Atari Vault offers a lot of titles that are not included in it. Atari 50: Anniversary Celebration, will no longer be usable except for emulation after the collection is lost. The list is really long:
