Summary

• Warner Bros. Discovery has delisted several Cartoon Network games, sparking fan outrage due to the lack of clear reasons for the removals.
• The affected games include Steven Universe: Save the Light, Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time, and others under the Cartoon Network and Adult Swim labels.
• Adventure Time: Finn and Jake's Epic Quest, released in 2014, is the oldest game among those delisted.

Warner Bros. Discovery has recently delisted at least six games from their Cartoon Network Games and Adult Swim Games labels across various digital storefronts, such as Steam and the Nintendo eShop. These games, which include fan favorites and cult classics, are no longer available for purchase, leaving gamers unable to acquire them legally. Each delisted game came with a brief message stating their removal by the publisher, but without providing a clear reason for the action.

This move is part of a broader strategy by Warner Bros. Discovery to cut costs, which has also involved shelving nearly completed movies and delisting original films from streaming services. Earlier in March, Warner Bros. Discovery had planned to delist several Adult Swim indie games, including Rick and Morty: Virtual Rick-ality, Duck Game, and Fist Puncher. While some of these games were spared from delisting following public outcry, others were not as fortunate and were removed without further communication.

The mass delisting occurred on December 23, affecting titles such as Adventure Time: Finn and Jake's Epic Quest, 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. These games are no longer available for sale after December 23, 2024, according to notices on Steam signed by "Cartoon Network Games" or "Adult Swim Games".

Despite these removals, some titles under the Cartoon Network Games label, like Cartoon Network Journeys VR and Monsters Ate My Birthday Cake, remain available on Steam. Additionally, the soundtrack for OK K.O.! Let's Play Heroes is still on sale. Neither Cartoon Network Games, Adult Swim Games, nor Warner Bros. Discovery have provided an official reason for the delisting of these games.

Adventure Time: Finn and Jake's Epic Quest, first released in April 2014, is the oldest game affected by this decision. Other delisted games include Steven Universe: Save the Light and OK K.O. Let's Play Heroes from 2018, and Steven Universe: Unleash the Light from 2021. The delisting of Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time has been particularly criticized by fans, as it contained the canonical ending to the show's fifth season. This action follows a similar mass delisting in March 2024, which saw many Adult Swim games saved due to public outcry.
