Controversial horror game Horses is the top-selling new game on GOG even as it gets kicked off the Humble Store one day after launch
www.pcgamer.com
Horses is proving to be something of a surprise hit, at least on the storefronts where you can still buy it.

Currently, only GOG and Itch are still selling this game.

EDIT: It seems the game has returned to Humble Bundle.

    It seems a stretch to call (at least as far as I understand it), a naked (fictional) underage character riding a horse CSAM? Sure, it’s definitely not in good taste, but… CSAM?

    CSAM is child abuse, there are no children here. Is there a clear line between someone drawing and actual real child abuse? Because, IMHO, there definitely should be.

    I agree that steam shouldn’t allow such content, we don’t want it, but I definitely disagree with the semantics here.

    Or am I missing something obvious??

      You are, it wasn’t a horse in the build they sent to Steam, it was a naked man. If you have a naked girl on a horse I think that qualifies too, you have an underage character that’s naked.

        Someone who claimed to have played the game said the privates were sensored.
        The game concept feels very political, not sexual from what I am hearing.
        My guess is the AI just flagged it, and noone actually reviewed it. Now that it is news, they don’t want any bad press, so they are standing by the ban, when otherwise they might have reversed it.
