That's not all, folks: Max admits Looney Tunes *isn't* being removed from streaming
28.11.2023 - 18:31 / gamesradar.com / Brendan Fraser / David Zaslav
Looney Tunes fans were up in animated arms earlier this week, when Max looked to announce that the entire show was being removed from its platform. Now, though, the streamer has revealed it was a false alarm.
"This is not the case and the show will continue streaming on Max," it clarified in a statement today (November 28), according to Variety. Max put the mistake down to a press release-related "error" that saw Looney Tunes listed as a title leaving the platform in December.
Turns out, only the 2003 film Looney Tunes: Back in Action, starring The Whale's Brendan Fraser and Fear the Walking Dead's Jenna Elfman, is set to become unavailable. It's not unusual for the likes of Netflix, Prime Video, Max, and co to remove films and license them out to other platforms periodically, so there's always a chance Back in Action could return to Max in the future.
For some, the idea that Max would get rid of all of its Looney Tunes content made sense due to the streamer's recent treatment of new Looney Tunes movie Coyote vs. Acme. Despite filming already having been completed, Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav announced earlier this month that they were shelving the film as a $30 million tax write-off, much like what they did with Batgirl and Scoob! Holiday Haunt.
“Coyote vs. Acme” director Dave Green expressed his disappointment about Warners’ decision to nix his film, a movie he worked on for three years.
"Along the ride, we were embraced by test audiences who rewarded us with fantastic scores,” Coyote vs. Acme director Dave Green wrote on social media at the time. "I am beyond proud of the final product." Following backlash from the creative community, Warner Bros. has since encouraged the filmmakers to shop the movie to other distributors.

Streaming exclusivity doesn’t matter anymore
In the early days of the streaming wars, library content seemed to be king. Peacock holding onto the rights of extraordinarily valuable parent-company shows like The Office looked like wins that would help the streaming service soar and felt like an existential threat to Netflix. But three years after Peacock’s launch, that’s not really how things have shaken out. In 2023, Netflix is still king of the streamers, and studios licensing out their most valuable shows and movies is starting to look like a great idea again.

GTA VI Not Launching on PC is Likely Due to Series Fans Being Notorious Double Dippers
Yesterday, after literally years of speculation, rumors, and leaks, Rockstar finally dropped the first teaser for Grand Theft Auto VI. The trailer has gone over well for the most part, although some were surprised to note that the game will only be launching on Xbox Series X/S and PS5, not PC. Rockstar has made a habit of this over the years, but the industry has changed and outside of console exclusives either developed or paid for by Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft, it’s extremely rare these days for a big AAA game to be released exclusively on console without a PC version. May as well grab those extra bucks from PC players at launch, right? So, why are Rockstar and Take Two Interactive sticking with the console-first approach when almost everyone else has abandoned it?
