Due to the news here, the developer of this game has released a free download of their game on their own home page.

Some of the other games affected by warner bros recent bullshit are also drm free - some on steam, some on good old games - so I'd advise making backups of those if you want to keep any. You can check out their drm status on the pc gaming wiki.

I've also tested some Adult Swim Games from steam and epic games store and found some to be drm free, so these can be backed up:
- Samurai Jack battle through time on epic game store
Rise & Shine on steam (you must disable steam executable to run though - simply renaming steam.exe is enough to do the trick)
Announcing our next game: #CastleDoombad! We're resurrecting our diabolical dungeon-keeping strategy defense game as an expanded remake w/all new art, content, & features -coming to PC & Mac this year! Wishlist NOW: http://CastleDoombad.com/steam More info: http://CastleDoombad.com
Was RWBY/RoosterTeeth was planned to be in MultiVersus as well as other WB crossover projects before the Studio shutdown? I was just thinking about this right now.
On that note, if Rooster Teeth Games also shutdown, does that also mean all their games will be taken off both digital/physical storefronts, making them very hard to find and buy similar to Adult Swim Games? Same thing with their merch, comics, and DVD/Blu Ray Releases as well.
As the week has gone on we’ve seen even more developers come out and confirm that they too were contacted by Warner Bros. Discovery — the parent company behind Adult Swim Games — and informed that their titles would be delisted “within 60 days”. The latest developer to break the news is Team2Bit, makers of Fist Puncher which has been on Steam since 2013.
I encourage you to read the full post by dev Matt Kain, but these excerpts from the post that breaks the news says a lot by themselves:
We've asked that Warner Bros. simply transfer the game to our Steam publisher account so that it can stay active, but so far they have said no with the reason being that they made the universal decision not to transfer the games back to the original studios and do not have the resources to do so. No, the transfer process is not complicated. It likely takes about 2 minutes on their end:

And, I feel this needs to be said somewhere… but… Videogames are art. Videogames connect us. Videogames are important. Videogames are part of our cultural heritage and should be preserved.
Kain says the team will keep on pressing Warner Brothers for the game to be transferred to them.
The initial news of game retirement was broken by the developer for puzzle game Small Radios Big Televisions, Owen Deery. Deery has made the game available to download for free from the Fire Face website (his solodev company).
Games confirmed to be retiring:
Fist Puncher (Confirmed - available on Steam)
Small Radios Big Televisions (Confirmed - available on Steam / PS4 / Fire Face website for free)
Soundodger+ (Confirmed - available on Steam / the itch.io release is unaffected)
Other games not yet confirmed and the platforms they are available on are listed here and here, and screenshots of the list can be found under the readmore.)
