I was disappointed to see the store page description put his name front and center while not mentioning any of the creators of the original games. This industry’s obsession with auteurs is not healthy.

Then don't make the game. It's a simple as that.
If a game needs to use a plagiarism machine to exist, it doesn't need to exist.

In this video, Alanah Pearce explains the issue with HORSES' ban better than we ever could. Thank you so, so much 🙏
Games are constantly under attack for doing things other mediums have tackled for decades as if it's some new taboo.
Just watched @charalanahzard.bsky.social video that sums things up more eloquently youtu.be/G-7r9pL0Hqo?...
#Indiedev should be talking more about the freedom of the artform.

Horses Is Tame
Horses, the indie game that is too scandalous for either Valve or Epic, is only beyond the pale if you're not familiar with any other art form.
