Just Mary being a retarded sperg over at Valve like with absolutely any risque subject in any game on steam.

You know full well its the payment processors' fault
They've gotten so pissy and cutoff-threatening lately, platforms in turn have had to become extra-sensitive to avoid the apocalypse that is losing access to them
Obviously Valve want to sell and make money from as many games as possible, why would they give a fuck what the content is

> "I was quite shocked and in disbelief, because I had invested so much of my life into this project. I saw it as a major step forward for myself and my future, and after all of that, it felt like everything was falling apart," Horses director Andrea Lucco Borlera told GamesIndustry.biz.

>Horses is an upcoming 2025 video game developed and published by Santa Ragione Game Studio. The game, created in partnership by Italian designer and filmmaker Andrea Lucco Borlera, who created the concept of the game, is a surrealistic adventure video game in which a young man tends to a farm occupied by enslaved humans dressed as horses.

Lying cunt. They've been selectively censoring Japanese games for years, over a decade long before this. The only change is some western shit's getting targeted now, which is hilarious.

Payment processors can control a private company from outside of it, unless Valve wants to go to the trouble of making their own, which they obviously do not.

to be fair if this was an indie film then nobody would bat an eyelid. unfortunately proving that games aren't a legitimate form of art but a commercial product to be consoomed.
>>
>>727316631
It's why vidya will never be art, because normalcattle don't treat them like artistic works of fiction, they think every NPC in a game should have human rights equal to yours and that if you show them in a violent situation then that must mean the creator would do that irl too.

Are we even on the same planet? Earth, here. Third one from the sun. Sol III, I guess. Indie films get such a ridiculously bad rap. It's an outright laughing stock and butt of all the jokes in the film industry. It's so bad that a lot of people that want to make an independent film will bend over backwards not to call it an independent film because labeling it as an independent film has such a stigma that no one will take it seriously.

Sorry, pedo troon, but no underage character smut is one of Steam's few publishing rules.Hitler is an adult, so the game breaks no publishing rules, no matter how much you might cry

My best guess for why it got removed is because the trailer had a shot of two actual horses fucking.
Steam probably has a rule about "No real animal genitalia" so people can't just upload a puzzle game that has irl bestiality porn as the background.

the inability for this game to be published on steam is closer to an italian indie flick that is shown in film festivals but not available at your local AMC Cineplex. Which is pretty standard for movies as an artform.

>Look it up and watch the trailer
Probably a good call on Steam's part. It's a bummer that EVERYTHING won't fly on Steam but also that just.. is the reality of it. You got this big store front with a lot of visibility. Steam gets away with a lot of stuff but not literally anything. Just gotta piss with the cock you've got, hate the game not the player, and other such cliche phrases that you can apply here.

Its kinda funny how Steam has damn near the same rules the Silk Road had, and people still get angry that a pedo shit game got turned down.

>No CP
>Nothing that is intentionally malicious that will harm other people
>No stolen IP/other peoples shit
And
>No asset flip punp and dumps/lying about what you were selling

My god, Steam is practiclaly the wild fucking west of store fronts practiclaly, so long as you pay your cut and dont break these 4 simple rules, you can sell whatever you want.

But the ONE time Valve plays a game about fucking little kids, its suddenly too far because ojt of the literal tens od thousands of games they do willingly sell, they found exception with one. Tbe funniest part about this is, the harder the devs scream and shit their pants the more they paint their shit game as the vidya equivalent of Cuties.

>>727316631
Plenty of horror games on steam have sexual undertones though.

It honestly kind of reminds me of the controversy surrounding the Hatred game. Huge amounts of backlash and complaints from all sides that resulted in store-bans, and then the game turned out to be mediocre and not worth playing anyway.

I suggest everyone in this thread read In the Barn by Piers Anthony which was written in 1972. Same shit as this game but I guarantee it is has far more sexual fetishism than this game will ever have. Im talking about a scene where a huge human bull fucks the shit out of a female human cow

That's not an alternative. By that criteria, there are no alternative video game marketplaces.
If you're saying to pirate shit, fair enough. But to me, I always have that option anyways, and if I like a game I'd rather support the developer and purchase it officially.

>Because the game has too much fake nudity in it
>Because the game has real child pornography in it
>Because the game has fake child pornography in it

Which one is it? In any case I'm sure Valve did this guy a huge favor by giving him a perfect marketing line for a horror game

Every time I've heard of Steam banning a game it's because of specific details. There was a visual novel that was released in English a few years ago that they wouldn't allow because it had like two or three rape scenes in it, even when the publisher submitted a heavily censored version where the rape is only implied.
