It appears Warner Bros. has reversed its decision to delist all Adult Swim Games, with several developers reporting that control has been returned to them.
Warner Bros. acquired Adult Swim in 2022, but back in March, several developers who had worked on games published through the Adult Swim Games banner reported that they had been told by Warner Bros. that the titles were due to be delisted.
No reason was given for the decision which would have impacted 21 different titles, and when developers asked for ownership to be returned to them, Warner Bros. refused, claiming they simply didn’t have the resources. According to Fist Puncher developer Matt Kain though, “the transfer process is not complicated. It likely takes about 2 minutes on their end.”
“This is incredibly disappointing,” he added. “I’m not entirely sure what will even happen if the game gets delisted, but it makes me sick to think that purchased games will presumably be removed from users’ libraries,” he added. “And, I feel this needs to be said somewhere… but… Video games are art. Video games connect us. Video games are important. Video games are part of our cultural heritage and should be preserved.”
