Warner Bros. Delisting Indie Games Sparks Developer Disappointment

Adult Swim Games, a subsidiary of Warner Bros. Discovery, is delisting numerous indie titles it has published, leaving developers blindsided and concerned about the fate of their games. The decision comes amid corporate cutbacks and a shift towards live service games. Developers are frustrated by the lack of support in transferring store listings back to them, and fear the impact on their livelihoods. While Warner Bros is allowing developers to republish their games, it presents challenges in rebuilding visibility and sales. The situation highlights the challenges of corporate ownership in the preservation of video games as cultural heritage.
