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

    Fuck does WB suck now, the second I see an announcement of something releasing and see WB is behind it I don’t even bother anymore because it’ll probably be cancelled and removed.

    and do not have the resources to do so

    That’s rich coming from a multi-billion dollar corporation lmfao

        Honestly, it doesn’t make sense at this point. Warner Bros Discovery is burning the place down to sell the remains as charcoal.

      From my understanding, it’s just one guy who bought the whole thing and believes that anything cartoon/comic related isn’t relevant anymore. He’s trying to move wb into the “reality tv” era.

      All of which is really stupid because wb is literally only known for its century-long run of pretty good cartoons and comics, and its reality aspect was so bad that they had to brand it off of wb, which is what the cw is.

      So yeah, this one guy is running wb into the ground and destroying one of the biggest animated repositories on the planet because he “doesn’t like cartoons”.

    Duck Game might be my favorite multiplayer game of all time. Fuck WB and the tax system in this country that allows corporations to get even the most miniscule of short term gains off of this kind of bullshit.

      Yeah the rain world Dev fought to get their game back ages ago, it’s why they could continue working on it.

    Man, between this and various shows/movies getting removed from streaming, it is so frustrating to see.

    Could it be licensing costs? Things like music might be licensed separately.

    Could it be overhead? They probably have 1-2 people managing that stuff a few hours a month. They might be cutting checks for $100 or less and just think it’s a waste of time.
