I don't understand, you guys thought it would remain open forever?

It's not like books, CDs, films, physical games themselves, etc. are in print forever either. And bought copies of these will inevitably decay so the risk is just the same if not greater than the servers of a digital product shutting down.

It's not like they are running out of shelf space so the older digital games have to make room for the newer digital games.

And since most older PS3 games, the PS3-indie games, the Vita games, the PSP games, the PS1 classics for PS3/PSP/Vita and the PS2 classics for PS3 are quite small, it should be a no-brainer to keep them in the store, if someone still wants to pay $5 - $10 for them.

Especially, if they keep the data for redownloads anyways.

Most of PC games added to Steam since 2003 are still in the Steam store.

Most of PC games added to GOG.com since 2008 are still in the GOG store.
