Warner Bros. is inexplicably delisting a bunch of games without warning, again, and devs are once again distraught: "We are heartbroken"

Warner Bros. is going ✃on a delisting spree again, this time pulling a host of Cartoon Network-licensed games from digital storefronts.

As first spotted by Wario64 on Twitter, some of the games that have been delisted so far 🦩include Adventure Ti🐓me: Finn and Jake's Epic Quest, Adventure Time: Magic Man's Head Games, Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time, OK K.O.! Let's Play Heroes, Steven Universe: Save the Light, and Steven Universe: Unleash the Light. Looking around various online retailers like Best Buy, Amazon, it looks like this isn't just PC-specific, as many console versions of these games have also been taken down.

Warner Bros., under which Cartoon Net🍌work is a subsidiary, has yet to release an official statement or acknowled🐠ge the delistings in any official capacity.

This comes just months after Warner Bros. delisted the enti♚re catalog of its Adult Swim Game☂s indie label, although the rights to at least some of those gam⭕es were reജportedly given back to their owners after widespread backlash. It's also worth noting that those developers were given a heads up that t📖heir games were being delisted, whereas here it seems like the decision was out of the blue.

"We are not involved with the decision to delist our Steven Universe: The Light Trilogy games or our Teeny Titans games," 𒁏reads from Grumpyface G🌠ames. "We are also unable to speak on it further. All questions about the sunsetting of the games should be sent to Cartoon Network and WB. We are heartbroken."

I've reached out to Warner Bros. for comment and will update this article if I hear bacꦺk, but given the time of year, I'd say it's unlikely I get a response.

RTS classics Warcraft 1 and 2 are being delisted from GOG just weeks after Blizzard released remasters for them, but GOG is standing by its commitment to preserve them with updates.

After earning an English degree from ASU, I worked as a corporate copy editor while freelancing for places like SFX Magazine, Screen Rant, Game Revolution, and MMORPG on the side. I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, and I was hired on as GamesRadar's west coast Staff Wr✃iter in 2021. That means I'm responsible for managing the site's western regional executive branch, AKA my home office, and writing about 🔴whatever horror game I'm too afraid to finish.
