Maybe he'll sneak them back on eventually?

Surely Vimm's got a backup of the archive somewhere, right? Hell, maybe another datahoarder has one ready to go. Maybe it's just a load of cope from me, but I really don't wanna believe it's all over after all these years haha.

"Crash Bandicoot and Atlus games for days."

Vimm's Lair has been asked to remove many games from The Vault on behalf of Nintendo, Sega, Lego, and the ESA. While most of these games (and the hardware to play them) haven't been sold in decades, ultimately it's their prerogative so these games are now gone for good.
