Unfortunately, the game will vanish from both online platforms in the coming weeks, as theHogwarts Legacypublisher has made the decision to delist it, and there’s nothing Deery can do about it.

Deery made a Twitter post announcing the delisting,sayingWarner Bros “informed me they will be ‘retiring’ my gameSmall Radios Big Televisionsfrom both Steam and PS4 stores.”

Given the contract Deery signed when having theSmall Radios Big Televisionspublished, they’re unable to resell the game without risking legal action from Warner Bros. In response Deery said they’ve now “made it free to download” and thanked fans for their support for the game. It’s unknown whether this action is a breach of the contract.

At the time of writing,Small Radios Big Televisionsis still available on the Steam and PlayStation store, and Deery has confirmed he’ll still receive royalties whenever the game is sold. So if you’re yet to buy and copy and want to before it becomes lost-media, you haven’t got long to do so as the game will be gone in the coming weeks.
