Leisure Suit Larry is about to take his final bow

The Wet Dreams games have been marked down dramatically ahead of their final removal from sale.

Leisure Suit Larry is about to take his final bow

Leisure Suit Larry: Wet Dreams Don't Dry and Wet Dreams Dry Twice, two Leisure Suit Larry games, are set to disappear from Steam and GOG on October 23. The publisher, Assemble Entertainment, announced the games' removal from the store, offering them at a 95% discount, priced under $2 each. The Wet Dreams duo marks the latest in a series of Leisure Suit Larry games being pulled from sale since 2025, when the original Larry games vanished from store shelves.

No official reason for the delistings was provided, but it is speculated that expiring licenses, likely due to Sierra's original Sierra ownership, may be the cause. The games were initially published by Activision, and with roughly 10 years having passed since the 2018 announcement for Wet Dreams Don't Dry, it seems plausible that the license expired.

Despite the absence of an official statement on the games' future on GOG, it is assumed that they will also be removed from the platform.

Managing Cross-Functional Teams: A Practical Guide for Engineering Leaders

Cross-functional teams are where most modern software gets built. Product defines the problem, design shapes the experience, engineering builds the system, QA and security protect it, data measures it, and operations keeps it running. On paper, this structure looks efficient.

  • Cross-functional teams combine product, design, engineering, QA, security, data, and operations.
  • Team charter addresses ownership, decision rights, and working agreements to prevent failure modes.
