GOG Shows Support for Horses After Valve Blocks Game from Steam

Following Valve's decision to block the arthouse indie game Horses from its Steam platform, GOG has stepped in to offer its support. The Polish gaming marketplace expressed pride in hosting Horses, emphasizing the importance of player choice in selecting their gaming experiences. In a statement, GOG declared, "We're proud to provide a platform for Horses on GOG, giving players an alternative way to access the game." This move comes after Italian developer Santa Ragione's submission of Horses to Steam was rejected due to certain content. The developer has since faced significant challenges, with the game's absence from Steam potentially leading to the studio's closure. GOG has announced the launch of pre-orders for Horses, encouraging players to celebrate the game's creativity and support the developer during this difficult time. Valve has defended its decision, stating that it had reviewed the game and provided feedback to the developer, ultimately deciding that the game did not align with its guidelines.
