Horror game Horses has been banned from sale – but is it as controversial as you'd think?

I mean, I get why people are upset about the ban on Horses πŸ€”... it's like, they want to be challenged, you know? The game's not gonna coddle you with easy answers or watered-down content 🚫. But at the same time, is the lack of explicitness really the issue here? It feels kinda dodgy that Steam just sorta banned it without being clear about what was wrong... I mean, did they get a specific complaint or something? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

And don't even get me started on how people are reacting on itch.io and GOG πŸ“ˆ... like, if you're into this kind of thing, cool, go for it! But if you're not, then maybe don't download it? πŸ€” It's a gray area, you know? Is Horses pushing boundaries because it's an "art game" or is it just a game that happens to tackle some heavy themes? πŸ’­

I guess what I'm saying is... I think people are getting a bit too worked up over this πŸ™„. The gaming industry is always gonna be about finding that balance between creative freedom and consumer taste 😐. But hey, at least Horses is making people talk, right? πŸ’¬
 
Man, I remember when games used to be about more than just shootin' stuff 🀣. Now it's like they're tryna avoid gettin' a few bad apples off the shelf πŸ‘. But for real, what's wrong with showin' some skin or dealin' out some psychological trauma? It's not like it's goin' to traumatize everyone who plays it πŸ˜‚. And yeah, I get where they're comin' from, but can't we just have a middle ground or somethin'? πŸ€” It's all about findin' that balance between bein' thought-provokin' and bein' too much for some folks πŸ‘€. And you know what? I'm good with Horses 🐴. If it's got substance, I'll give it a shot πŸ’―. But if someone tells me I gotta play somethin' that's just gonna make me feel uncomfortable or whatever, then I'll stick to somethin' else πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ.
 
😊 omg i know right??? like cant even imagine how frustrating it must be for the devs to get a ban without clear explanations πŸ€” steam needs to do better in handling these situations πŸ’― anyway i think its kinda cool that the game is making people think about those tough topics and confront their fears or whatever πŸ‘€ also gotta give props to santa ragione for pushing boundaries and not holding back on their vision πŸŽ¨πŸ‘
 
omg i'm so sad about horses getting banned on steam!!1! i mean i understand why they got banned but come on steams being so strict about it 🀣 i've been playing horses since day one and i gotta say its such a deep game 🀯 santa ragione is a genius for making something so raw and real, it's like... have you seen the way the protagonist reacts when she finds out what's really going on with her husband? 😱 it's like, you can't even look away! 😲

i know some ppl say its too disturbing but i think that's what makes it so good 🀩 it's not just some bland indie game trying to shock ppl for the sake of it, it's a thought-provoking experience that makes u question everything πŸ’­

anywayz i'm def gonna keep playing horses regardless of whether steam allows it or not lol πŸ˜‚ it's like... my fave game now πŸ™Œ
 
Honestly, I think people are overreacting about the Steam ban πŸ€”... I mean, come on, it's just a game that explores some pretty heavy stuff, but not necessarily in a gratuitous way 😊. The lack of explicit content actually adds to the game's overall impact, imo. I get why some folks might be upset, but can't we just have an open conversation about what's acceptable in media without getting all worked up? πŸ™„
