Summary
Developer Grumpyface Studios recently voiced how heartbreaking it was to see the games published under theCartoon Network Gameslabel be delisted across all platforms. Grumpyface Studios is best known for its collaboration with Adult Swim Games andCartoon Network Games, releasing a variety of mobile titles based on shows that were aired on the network. Some of the shows that Grumpyface Studios worked with includeAdventure TimeandRegular Show, along with theSteven Universe: The Light Trilogytitles that were released on major consoles and PC.
Unfortunately, some Grumpyface Studios-developed games can no longer be bought legally. Earlier this December, at least six Cartoon Network-published games were delisted across various digital storefronts, including Steam and the Nintendo eShop. Throughout 2024, Warner Bros. Discovery, the parent company of Cartoon Network, has been shelving nearly completed projects and delisting original films from its streaming services to cut costs, which has affected video games too. Of the games that have been delisted from sale, Grumpyface Studios’Steven Universe: Save the LightandSteven Universe: Unleash the Lightwere among them. The studio recently put out a statement to clarify how it’s been affected by the recent delistings.
On Grumpyface’s official Twitter account, the studio posted how it wasn’t involved withthe decision to delist theSteven Universe: The Light TrilogyorTeeny Titansgames. The account also notes it is unable to speak about the matter further, and all questions regarding the removal of these titles should be sent to Cartoon Network and Warner Bros. instead. The tweet ends with how the studio was heartbroken over the decision, with many fans sharing the same sentiments.
