Warner Bros. Discovery's sudden removal of several Cartoon Network and Adult Swim games has sparked significant backlash from fans. Without explanation, at least six titles disappeared from digital storefronts like Steam and the Nintendo eShop on December 23rd, 2024. This follows a similar incident in March 2024, although public pressure prevented a wider delisting then.
The affected games include popular titles such as Adventure Time: Finn and Jake's Epic Quest (released in 2014), Adventure Time: Magic Man's Head Games, OK K.O.! Let's Play Heroes, Steven Universe: Save the Light, Steven Universe: Unleash the Light, and Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time. Each game's storefront listing simply stated its removal without providing a reason.
This action is attributed to Warner Bros. Discovery's cost-cutting measures, which have previously impacted film projects and streaming content. While some games, like Cartoon Network Journeys VR and Monsters Ate My Birthday Cake, remain available, the lack of transparency regarding the delistings has fueled fan anger, particularly concerning Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time, whose removal effectively removes access to the show's canonical season five conclusion. The soundtrack for OK K.O.! Let's Play Heroes remains on sale. Warner Bros. Discovery, Cartoon Network Games, and Adult Swim Games have yet to offer a public explanation for this decision.
