This is infuriating and tragic but I also wonder if we couldn’t crowdfund 100k to keep Santa Ragione open—they make some of the strangest and most interesting games.
Santa Ragione co-founder Pietro Righi Riva addresses the studio's potential closure in an exclusive interview with GamesIndustry.biz. "There will likely be no money left to make a new [game]... Unless a miracle happens and Horses does very well."

imagine Shakespeare just hadn't written King John or Merry Wives of Windsor or something because it wouldn't have been "the best of all time". The world would be poorer for it.

AR-PHARAZÔN THE GOLDEN: What you have to remember also is he appeared in fair form.
CHOTINER: The next time the invasion of Valinor and the destruction of Númenor come up, I'll keep in mind that Sauron was handsome when it happened.
AR-PHARAZÔN: He was. Not that that excuses it.
CHOTINER: Right.
