Cozy Cube Games | Wishlist Penguin Festival on Steam! 🐧 @cozycubegames.bsky.social · Aug 15

A message from the Cozy Cube Team

Penguin Festival will no longer be releasing on the Meta Store.

As our team lead has stated before:

We want to create a game where players "feel welcome, at peace, and free to just be." It is a sentiment that has and continues to inspire us as creatives working on this game.

Meta's business decisions reflect values that run counter to that core inspiration as well as our own team's values. The recent Reuters report on Meta Al has put a long-standing pattern into sharp relief; it made our choice a simple one.

VR Forever 🔜 September 18th to 23rd @vr-forever.com · 15d

That's a wrap! The first #VRForever is over and we are really proud with what we achieved. Thank you everyone who visited the festival page, bought a game, left a review, wish listed a new title and supported VR in someway. The passion for VR is still out there and we are not going to stop here!

Too weird to be a penguin.
Too normal to be a social media person.

Zi @majormcdoom.bsky.social · Aug 20

One thing I appreciate about our penguin avatar is that it lets every player do their own unique interpretation of a penguin. Let's just say some players are weirder than others.

Heya, Yannik! Right now we're focused on the PCVR/SteamVR release, but are keeping our options open for possible ports :)

We'll definitely post an update if a Pico port will come!

The Reuters' report by @jeffhorwitz.bsky.social we mention in our statement above:

Meta’s AI rules have let bots hold ‘sensual’ chats with children

An internal Meta policy document reveals the social-media giant’s rules for chatbots, which have permitted provocative behavior on topics including sex and race.
