According to Owen Deery, creator of Small Radios Big Televisions, Warner Bros. Discovery has notified him that it is "retiring" the game from Steam and the PlayStation Store, so he has made it available on his studio's website to make it available for free. [Small Televisions Big Radios, released in 2016, is an indie puzzle game about exploring an abandoned factory in search of a lost cassette tape containing an "infinite virtual world. "Released by Adult Swim Games, the game was not a huge hit Released by Adult Swim Games, the game was not a big hit, but it was moderately well received by critics, especially for its visual style and soundtrack.

There is a bit of good news and a bit of bad news: the good news is that it is a free game, but the bad news is that it has been discontinued at the behest of Adult Swim's parent company, Warner Brothers Discovery.

"Warner Bros. Discovery has informed me that they are 'retiring' my game, Small Radios Big Televisions, from both the Steam and PS4 stores. I've made it available for free download here: https://fire-face.com/games/srbt.html応援ありがとう。

For now, Small Radios Big Televisions is available for purchase on both Steam and the PlayStation Store."https://fire-face.com/games/srbt.html応援ありがとう。 In an interview with PC Gamer, Deery said that Warner has given him a gave him a 60-day deadline to remove the game from the two stores, he said. As for why they were being removed, he was told it was "due to internal business changes.

"My understanding is that at least they still have to manage royalty payments to the developer (me), respond to management requests from the platform, and pay someone to update promo assets if the platform requires it," Deery said.AdultSwim's Since no one who actually helped publish the game is working for them anymore, they decided it wasn't worth the business to maintain a "legacy" product.

Deeley stated on Twitter that he will receive royalties if he purchases Small Radios Big Televisions while the game is on sale, but at the same time he is distributing it for free, so that does not seem to be a priority for him. He intends to keep the game free indefinitely: "The cost to make it available is zero dollars." The soundtrack will also continue to be available on Bandcamp.

Neither Adult Swim nor Warner has officially commented on the situation, but Warner has recently stated that it wants to focus on free-to-play and live-service games to compensate for the volatility of big-budget standalone game releases.Small Radios Big Televisions is obviously not a big-budget project, but Adult Swim Games in particular has been largely inactive for the past few years, which makes one wonder if there is some kind of housecleaning going on: the last game announced was the 2020 release "Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time," and the Twitter account has been silent since mid-2021; we've reached out to Adult Swim and Warner for more information and will update if we hear back.
