Warner Bros. Delisting Adult Swim Games from Stores Sparks Indie Dev Reaction
TL;DR
Warner Bros. Discovery, owner of Adult Swim Games, is removing several games from digital storefronts on PC and console, refusing to transfer publishing permissions to developers, and potentially shutting down Adult Swim Games. Developers are expressing disappointment and frustration over the removal process, with some planning to republish their games independently. This move follows other cost-cutting measures by Warner Bros. Discovery since its merger in 2022, including removing TV shows from its streaming library and shelving nearly finished films.
