Granted, it's the crappy version of crazy taxi without the offspring.

They can keep it then.

The music really planted the game in its age and was half the bloody fun!

They did Vice City dirty this way too.

Sega offer no reason for why the games are being removed from sale, but typically delisting happens for one of three reasons: expiring licenses; new exclusivity to a different storefront; or an intent to re-release the games in a new form (eg. an enhanced edition, typically with a higher price).
