"Indie Devs React to Warner Bros. Delisting: Making Games Free and Expressing Disappointment"

TL;DR Summary
Warner Bros. Discovery plans to "retire" games published by its Adult Swim Games label, potentially removing 18 or more titles from digital stores. Developers, including Owen Reedy and Michael Molinari, have received warnings about their games being removed from Steam, with Warner Bros. Discovery citing logistical and resource constraints for not transferring ownership back to the developers. This move has sparked concerns about game preservation and proper crediting of the people who worked on these games. Some developers are considering re-releasing their games independently to prevent them from being lost due to corporate decisions.
