Warner Bros. Delists Adult Swim Games, Leaving Devs with Tough Choices

TL;DR Summary
Warner Bros. Discovery is set to remove at least 16 games from its Adult Swim Games subsidiary from games markets, refusing to transfer the games back to the affected developers or offer other means of selling them in the future. Developers are left with tough choices as they face losing years of fan content, reviews, and community engagement. Despite requests to transfer ownership, Warner Bros. Discovery has rejected these requests, leaving developers with the dilemma of losing access to their games' community content or re-releasing the games without it.
