Warner Bros. Suddenly Delisting Indie Games, Devastating Unprepared Creators
-
Adult Swim Games, a subsidiary of Warner Bros. Discovery, is delisting and "retiring" all the indie games it has published over the years. Developers were blindsided.
-
Developers have asked Warner Bros. to easily transfer the games back to them so the games can stay available, but Warner Bros. has refused.
-
Some games will be lost entirely, while others will have to be republished from scratch, losing reviews and visibility.
-
Players who already own the games on Steam will likely retain access in their libraries.
-
One developer called this a loss for gaming's cultural heritage that should be preserved, emphasizing games as art that connects people.
