    Discovery, as part of its ongoing effort to stretch the definition of “entertainment company,” recently told a solo indie developer it would be “retiring” his 2016 dreamlike puzzle adventure game Small Radios Big Televisions from the Steam and PlayStation stores.

    The developer, in response, has made it free to download for PC, giving us a rare chance to actually experience the thing that a giga-corp has determined to be not worth your time, before it is wiped from the archives.

    Otherwise, you could purchase the hard-synth soundtrack as a show of support, which in this author’s opinion is very good music for working or feeling a combination of nostalgia and magnetic dissolution at the same time.

    The firm killed the fully produced Batgirl and a Scooby-Doo film prior to release as a reported tax strategy.

    WBD most recently dropped a head-scratching attempt at a merger with similarly debt-laden firm Paramount, while also initiating a 2024 crackdown on password sharing.
