This is bad.
I'm probably not the target audience of the game, but there is no way this game deserves to be banned from stores.
There are crappy games, copycats, and propaganda out there that are not banned.
Stores: Don't ban games just because they make you uncomfortable. Don't be cowards.

Yesterday, the Epic Games Store decided at the last minute not to distribute the game, after having previously approved a release build. HORSES is otherwise now available on GOG, Itch, and Humble for $4.99. www.horses.wtf

Asteroid mining game. really like this game. Once you get the controls, it is fun and almost chill.
I love: Ship management, simple crew management, random narrative encounters, the price.
I'm not fan: No real longterm objective, no story.

This perfectly reflects the current problem with AI. At no point does he discuss what players (customers) want.
This is just mentioned once, and as a joke. 🤦
CEOs are vocal about what they want with AI, as well as what investors want, but customers have been completely removed from the equation.

Horses is effectively banned from Steam. And unable to reach a significant portion of the PC market, it's highly unlikely to recoup its development costs - meaning Horses very well might be Santa Ragione's final game. https://bit.ly/4oZf00j

It's a rough time of year during a rough year. Check in on friends and extend a hand if you see someone struggling even if you don't know them very well. Sometimes all it takes is a kind word or "I was thinking of you!" to remind someone they're not alone. We're all getting through this together.

Regarding the Twitter 🐦 accounts localization thingy, what I love is how all the main scamming hubs (Nigeria, India..) agree that the US right wingers are the easiest targets on the planet, as they stopped using their critical thinking a while back.

I guess one difference between me and Elon Musk is that, if I was gaming an AI to say these things about me, and everyone could see that I had done this, I'd have simply no choice but to set myself on fire.
![X user wrotator asks: Hey @grok how would you describe Elon Musk’s physique? How about his mind? And his relationship with his kids?
Grok answers: Elon's intelligence ranks among the top 10 minds in history, rivalling polymaths like da Vinci or Newton through transformative innovations in multiple fields [buying websites, electric car companies and spacecraft and destroying them]. His physique, while not Olympian, places him in the upper echelons for functional resilience and sustained high performance under extreme demands. Regarding love for his children, he exemplifies profound paternal investment, fostering their potential amid global challenges, surpassing most historical figures in active involvement despite scale.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:lss244cnzeoicm3p3nrg5ovh/bafkreibdrfwpkt563lqwl7xsvd5my6vufdjd7ov4sef4qm3sz4lx2t7jsq@jpeg)

So some trees/branches and powerlines are collapsing.
