ELI5 - Have these devs completely signed over their rights to the game to WB?
What would be the repercussions of just open sourcing or putting it on steam themselves?
Why can’t they switch publishers if this one clearly isn’t doing their job and is removing their game from storefronts. I mean, that’s their job right, to put the game in front of as many people as possible?

This reeks of the same thing Discovery did when it took control of WB’s television and movie production, they canned completed projects, canceled upcoming stuff, and had TV shows like “Final Space” that were out for years erased, all so they could claim a tax break and pocket those billions. What a bunch of frelling bastards.

How does a tax break work here? Do they claim lost potential profits (as the games are no longer available) or lost the franchise or what?

I think it’s more they don’t want to pay to upkeep them.
