The delisting of Cartoon Network and Adult Swim games, on the other hand, is a frustrating reminder of the limitations of digital storefronts. Warner Brothers first started toremove games under the Adult Swim bannerfrom digital storefronts in March 2024, although backlash led to some of the label’s projects from indie developers finding new homes with other publishers.The batch of PlayStation Store removals during the Holiday Sale includes the following:
Some of the titles currently have physical releases that can still be purchased at reasonable prices, and digital copies that have already been purchased should continue to work. Like some recent Warner Bros. decisions in the film sphere, it feels to me like a move that prioritizes immediate monetary complications over maintaining any sense of legacy, and it certainly casts a shadow over the highlights of thePlayStationStore Holiday Sale.
