Warner Bros. Discovery's sudden removal of several Cartoon Network and Adult Swim games has sparked significant backlash from fans. At least six titles have been delisted from digital storefronts like Steam and the Nintendo eShop, leaving players unable to purchase these popular games. The publisher offered no explanation for the delistings.
This action is consistent with Warner Bros. Discovery's recent cost-cutting measures, which have included shelving films and removing content from streaming services. A similar delisting event occurred in March 2024, affecting several Adult Swim games, although public pressure led to some titles being reinstated.
The recently delisted games include:
- Adventure Time: Finn and Jake's Epic Quest
- Adventure Time: Magic Man's Head Games
- OK K.O.! Let's Play Heroes
- Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time
- Steven Universe: Save the Light
- Steven Universe: Unleash the Light
Interestingly, some Cartoon Network Games remain available, such as Cartoon Network Journeys VR and Monsters Ate My Birthday Cake, along with the soundtrack for OK K.O.! Let's Play Heroes. The lack of explanation from Warner Bros. Discovery, Cartoon Network Games, and Adult Swim Games has fueled fan frustration, particularly concerning Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time, whose removal effectively removes access to the show's canonical season five conclusion. The oldest game affected, Adventure Time: Finn and Jake's Epic Quest, debuted in April 2014. The others were released between 2018 and 2021.
