Warner Bros Reverses Course, Returns Adult Swim Game Rights to Developers

In a significant policy shift, Warner Bros has decided to transfer ownership of several indie games back to the original creators, reversing earlier plans to delist them.

  • Warner Bros initially planned to delist indie games published under the Adult Swim label, affecting titles like 'Small Radios Big Televisions' and 'Duck Game'.
  • The decision to return game rights follows backlash and concerns over digital preservation and developer rights.
  • Developers, including Owen Deery and Landon Podbielski, confirmed receiving notifications about the return of their games' ownership.
  • This move marks a departure from Warner Bros' previous stance, which cited logistical challenges as a barrier to transferring title ownership.
  • The reversal comes amidst broader company changes, including the cancellation of major projects and film titles for financial reasons.
