Warner Bros. Plans to Remove 18+ Games From Online Stores, Impacting Developers and Players
-
Warner Bros. Discovery is planning to "retire" and delist games published by its Adult Swim Games label, which could affect 18+ games.
-
Developers were told the games would be removed from Steam and other stores within 60 days.
-
Developers requested the rights to games be transferred back to them, but Warner Bros refused due to "logistical and resource constraints."
-
Removing the games would erase reviews, achievements, community discussions etc that were built up over the years.
-
If the games are removed, some developers plan to republish them independently, although this also has downsides.
