Warner Bros. Discovery's sudden removal of several Cartoon Network and Adult Swim games has sparked significant backlash from fans. Without explanation, titles including Steven Universe: Save the Light and Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time have been delisted from digital platforms like Steam and the Nintendo eShop.

This digital purge affects at least six games, leaving players unable to legally purchase these popular titles. The move is attributed to Warner Bros. Discovery's cost-cutting measures, mirroring previous decisions to shelve films and remove content from streaming services. A similar delisting event occurred in March 2024, impacting Adult Swim games, although some were later reinstated following public outcry.

The recent wave of removals, noted by Wario64 on Twitter, took place on December 23rd and included:

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

Each game's storefront listing displays a message announcing its removal from sale after December 23rd, 2024. Interestingly, some Cartoon Network games, such as Cartoon Network Journeys VR and Monsters Ate My Birthday Cake, remain available. The soundtrack for OK K.O.! Let's Play Heroes is also still accessible.

The oldest game affected, Adventure Time: Finn and Jake's Epic Quest, launched in April 2014. The other titles were released between 2018 and 2021. 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 cuts off access to the show's canonical season five conclusion.
