@ZippyBot for those of us who don't know, what is Horses and why is it banned?
Wikipedia says it's a horror game where you take care of a farm and "horses" which are actually just enslaved and brainwashed people in horse masks.
Sounds like a typical indie horror game, tbh. I'm not sure why it would have been banned from steam or even epic. Apparently you can get it on itch.io though.
@Zahille7 interesting! I found this review, I suppose this is it? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--mCTtm1txk and it'd seem #Steam falsely accused it of containing pedo scenes or something. As I read, the game is a critique to certain political systems, if that's true then I'm not surprised someone somewhere would just seek to ban it, Steam probably just complied and provided the devs with a random excuse that sounded good enough
