In a delightful twist for fans of the Leisure Suit Larry franchise, 2018’s Leisure Suit Larry: Wet Dreams Don’t Dry emerged as a refreshing revival, contrasting sharply with its less favorable predecessors, Magna Cum Laude and Box Office Bust. This latest installment not only captured the essence of the series but also offered a genuinely enjoyable experience, a feat that was further echoed in its sequel, Wet Dreams Dry Twice. While neither title broke new ground in the gaming landscape, they successfully delivered the quintessential Leisure Suit Larry charm, all while ensuring that Larry himself remained the butt of the joke.
Upcoming Delistings and Discounts
However, fans of the series are facing a bittersweet moment as both games are set to be removed from digital storefronts. An announcement from publisher Assemble Entertainment revealed that the titles will no longer be available on Steam starting October 23. In a bid to clear inventory ahead of this delisting, the games are currently being offered at an astonishing 95% discount, bringing their prices down to under each.
The reason behind this sudden removal remains unclear, with Assemble Entertainment refraining from commenting on the matter. Speculation suggests that expiring licensing rights may be at play, a common scenario in the gaming industry. Given that Leisure Suit Larry originally hails from Sierra, it is likely that Assemble acquired the rights from Activision for these recent titles. With the original announcement of Wet Dreams Don’t Dry dating back to 2018, it seems plausible that the licensing agreement is approaching its expiration, which could account for the impending delistings.
