Those two games still have ads in them, and aren't going to be delisted soon.Sonic the Hedgehog 1 & 2 also on the Play Store (for free). just wanted to mention it even though they won't be removing those, i think?
Articles have noted that all these were part of Sega's failed "Sega Forever" service. They previously removed a ton of games in 2023:

SEGA Forever offers retro gaming fans an ever-expanding collection of classic SEGA games, available free-to-play on mobile platforms. Each game is available for download as an individual ad-supported title, with the option to remove all ads via in-app purchase for $1.99 (regardless of original console generation).
So the notable thing about the games getting removed is that they're free but no longer have ads. Sonic the Hedgehog 1 & 2 will still have ads, and Sonic 4 Episode I still costs $2.99.
