Indie developer criticizes Warner Bros. Discovery for removing their Adult Swim game from sale.

Warner Bros. Discovery, the entertainment conglomerate that owns Adult Swim Games, is causing alarm among gamers and indie developers with rumors of delisting several popular titles in the coming months. This news came to light when Owen Deery, the creator of Small Radios Big Televisions, tweeted that he had been informed by Warner Bros. Discovery that his game would be retired soon. Since then, another developer, Matt Kain, expressed disappointment on the Fist Puncher Steam page, stating that Warner Bros. Discovery had also contacted him with a similar notice.

🔍 Why are these games being delisted?

According to the email sent to Deery, Warner Bros. Discovery cited “internal business changes” as the reason for discontinuing support for Small Radios Big Televisions. However, it remains unclear why all the Adult Swim Games titles are potentially being affected. The lack of official statement from Warner Bros. Discovery has left developers and players anxious about the future of these games.

⚠️ What will happen to purchased games if they get delisted?

Kain expressed concern that the removal of the games from digital storefronts may result in the games being removed from users’ libraries. This could potentially erase years of community discussions, screenshots, gameplay footage, leaderboards, progress, and achievements. Kickstarter backers who supported these games may also lose access to the titles they funded. These concerns highlight the importance of video game preservation and the need for careful consideration when making decisions to delist games.

🌐 Is video game preservation an ongoing issue?

The issue of video game preservation has been a hot topic in the gaming industry for several years. With purely digital products, the lifespan of games becomes uncertain. The potential delisting of Adult Swim Games titles serves as a reminder that preserving video games as a form of art and cultural heritage is crucial. Developers like Deery emphasize the need for recognizing the importance of video games and ensuring their preservation, echoing the concerns expressed by others in the industry.

🎥 Similar controversies in the entertainment industry

The delisting of games by Warner Bros. Discovery is not an isolated incident. The entertainment conglomerate has faced criticism for pulling HBO Max original movies from the platform, scrapping animated movies, and making unexpected decisions regarding film releases. These actions have raised concerns about content removal and the impact on the industry. Notably, movie director Christopher Nolan and filmmaker Guillermo del Toro have previously championed physical media as a way to preserve films.
