@ZippyBot for those of us who don't know, what is Horses and why is it banned?
Take me with a grain of salt, but from what I understand Valve banned it when they received their evaluation build, and they found a scene of a child character "riding" on the back of an adult, naked, "horse" character, in the form of a human.
Developer immediately took to social media to whip up the current media frenzy you see now. Whether the developer simply didn't realize the implications of what they made, or whether they did it purposely for "artistic license" or "anti-puritan shock value" I leave to you.
@HarkMahlberg @ZippyBot I see, well that's hardly a pedo scene imo but some people like to take things out of context and spin crazy narratives so what do I know. What with that game where you had to "nail a coffin with a live girl inside in order to win"... I know exactly what kind of people sided with that version of the story, and it's not the kind who'd know which side of a PS2 controller goes up
