Six Cartoon Network Titles Vanish from Storefronts

Warner Bros. Discovery's sudden removal of several Cartoon Network and Adult Swim games has sparked significant fan backlash. Without explanation, at least six titles have been delisted from digital storefronts like Steam and the Nintendo eShop. This leaves fans unable to legally purchase these beloved games.

The delistings are linked to Warner Bros. Discovery's cost-cutting measures, mirroring previous decisions to shelve films and remove content from streaming services. A similar incident occurred in March 2024, involving Adult Swim titles, although public pressure prevented some delistings then.

The recently removed games, as reported by Wario64 on Twitter, 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

Each game displayed a message on platforms stating its unavailability after December 23rd, 2024. Interestingly, some Cartoon Network Games remain available, including Cartoon Network Journeys VR and Monsters Ate My Birthday Cake, along with the soundtrack for OK K.O.! Let's Play Heroes.

The oldest title affected, Adventure Time: Finn and Jake's Epic Quest, launched in April 2014. Other release years include 2018 (Steven Universe: Save the Light, OK K.O.! Let's Play Heroes) and 2021 (Steven Universe: Unleash the Light). The removal of Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time, particularly, has angered fans as it contains the canonical conclusion to the show's fifth season.

The lack of explanation from Cartoon Network Games, Adult Swim Games, and Warner Bros. Discovery has fueled fan frustration and criticism.
