Santa Ragione, a venerable, innovative and award-winning studio, may close due to @valvesoftware.com's unaccountable, counter-factual ban. From an early build of HORSES I can easily say it's another award-contender.
Valve can still rectify this poor judgement.

Santa Ragione are a well-known studio, covered by a great many mainstream outlets. Their latest game will not be releasing on Steam for... reasons? Steam won't tell them why, won't tell them what needs fixing, and won't communicate in general.
Every other store will carry it. Just not Steam.

Our upcoming game HORSES was preemptively banned from Steam, with no path to appeal. The game will still launch next week on December 2nd and will be available on EGS, GOG, Humble, and Itch for $4.99. Here is a detailed FAQ covering what happened: horses.wtf/BannedFromSt...

The extent to which the storefronts dictate what games can reasonably be made is an ENORMOUS problem.
This is a particularly egregious example, and worth paying attention to: www.gamesindustry.biz/santa-ragion...
Besides the point, but I found HORSES to be deeply compelling (I don't like horror).

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."

Hay una entrevista a Sumo en la que Luca Prodan dice de Pettinato, que está sentado al lado de él, "Yo estoy intentando hacer música y el está intentando comprarse una heladera."
