As more developers confirm, it looks likely that ALL Adult Swim Games titles will be removed by May [UPDATE: Better Links]
delistedgames.com
[UPDATE 03/09/24] I had some time this morning to gather the links for the list of games. Also, a reader pointed out that Westerado isn’t self-published so it’s still at risk of a delis…

I don’t understand how this works. How does delisting a game make or save money? It’s already spent in the creation. Now sales don’t cost anything. There’s no goods to ship. Steam copies the files to you, WB doesn’t do anything.

This. Sucks. I really love games like Duck Game, Kingsway, and Super House of Dead Ninjas.

    Corporations don’t always have to make sense it looks like during a meeting they concluded that games don’t generate significant profit so they decided to exit that entire market. They don’t want to have any employees to look over the account, or having to update is something or have any lawsuits (perhaps have offended someone, or formatted computer), I am not saying those could happen or make any sense, but essentially execs say they don’t want to have ANY liability and the lower employees comply the best they can.

    Execs don’t care about users, to them this is just business.

    If users were priority company for example could just make the games public domain, but that would be too much work, and no way back if (in very unlikely case) they wanted to bring the games back.
