WB Removed More Adult Swim Games, Total Wipeout Appears Imminent

Take a look at the list of games that could be affected and buy them before it's too late. 

Following the recent announcement that Small Radios Big Televisions would be "retired" from Steam at the request of Warner Bros. Discovery, several developers of games published under Adult Swim Games have revealed that they have been notified about their games being delisted from sale within the next 60 days. The concern that the entire catalog of Adult Swim games may soon meet the same fate is intensifying.

Team2Bit, the developer of Fist Puncher, shared on the Steam forums that they had received the same message from Warner Bros. Discovery. The company turned down their request to transfer Fist Puncher to Team2Bit's own Steam publisher account, stating a blanket decision against transferring games back to the original studios, citing resource constraints.

Matt Kain Lewandowski of Team2Bit expressed his deep disappointment with this development. His concern lies not only with the delisting but also with the potential removal of purchased games from users' libraries.

Landon Podbielski, the developer behind Duck Game, expressed that he hasn't been informed of a delisting yet, but anticipates it is imminent:

Podbielski went on to suggest that the situation could have a silver lining if Warner decided to revert ownership of the games back to the original developers, a move the company has so far shown no intention of pursuing.

This move by Warner Bros. Discovery indicates the possibility of shutting down Adult Swim Games. The company has already made strides in cost-cutting since its merger in 2022, removing TV shows from its streaming library and shelving nearly completed films like Batgirl and Coyote vs. Acme.

Currently, there are 25 titles from Adult Swim Games listed on Steam that are facing removal. Warner Bros. Discovery has remained silent on the matter so far, leading to growing unease among developers and players awaiting further news.
