Warner Bros. is now erasing games as it plans to delist Adult Swim-published titles

Warner Bros. Discovery is telling developers it plans to start “retiring” games published by its Adult Swim Games label, game makers who worked with the publisher tell Polygon. At least three games are under threat of being removed from Steam and other digital stores, with the fate of other games published by Adult Swim unclear.

The media conglomerate’s planned removal of those games echoes cuts from its film and television business; Warner Bros. Discovery infamously scrapped plans to release nearly complete movies Batgirl and Coyote vs. Acme, and removed multiple series from its streaming services. If Warner Bros. does go through with plans to delist Adult Swim’s games from Steam and digital console stores, 18 or more games could be affected.

News of the Warner Bros. plan to potentially pull Adult Swim’s games from Steam and the PlayStation Store was first reported by developer Owen Reedy, who released puzzle-adventure game Small Radios Big Televisions through the label in 2016. Reedy said on X Tuesday the game was being “retired” by Adult Swim Games’ owner. He responded to the company’s decision by making the Windows PC version of Small Radios Big Televisions available to download for free from his studio’s website.

Finally someone is standing up to the woke mob. Thank you, WB conglomerate! You are the true underdog.

I wish more people left the /s off.

With Poes Law and all it's kinda dumb to do that. Without hearing the tone it's too easy to think they're seriously stupid.

Announcing your sarcasm defeats sarcasm. If your sarcasm can't be inferred through context or some other means, the solution is simple...just don't be sarcastic.

Right. Thank God Shakespeare added /s to his plays.

Plays include tone from the actors. Similarly, books include tone from context. One sentence does not.

So, use more than one sentence.

I recommend you learn how to understand context. Otherwise I can't help you with basic language skills.

I recommend you learn how to make an argument that actually suits the context before commenting on the media literacy of others.

He actually did. Shakespeare's plays are meant to be portrayed by actors and not read as a book, so there is plenty of written notes for how the actors should be expressing when they say their lines.

Ah yes, because something you know ahead of time is a comedy/tragegy/what have you is totally the same as randoms on the internet
