Comment on the game "Horses" now barred on Steam, Epic and Humble Bundle

It was a child doing pony play, riding a naked adult man-horse. The dev claimed it was not sexual.

This was removed later but it’s the build you send for review that gets reviewed. Other stores got a later version, hence why it passed on those.

I haven’t heard about the details, what’s your source on that?

As far as I recall, the developer said he didn’t know the actual reason for the ban.

  Some previous article which contained valve’s response, and a description of the scene. I didn’t find it immediately, but I’ll check again.

What’s CSAM?

  Child Sexual Abuse Material. Legalese for child porn and adjacent things.

    I also was wondering why, it's always been called CP and then recently they changed acronym 🤷

    Like the other user said, porn implies some level of consent which children cannot give. Calling it csam ensures there’s no confusion about it being abuse.

  Pretty sure it’s child sexual abuse material

Considering there website proudly shows it is banned on Steam I’m sure this was done on purpose for the publicity.

Why did Epic ban it though? They didn’t get the ‘tainted’ preview version and normally love to have games that aren’t on Steam.

  Anything’s possible but I wouldn’t assume it was planned unless something else came up. I think he’s just riding the accidental publicity, which I don’t really blame him for, though the dishonesty of his spin kinda pisses me off.
  
  I’d like to hear epic’s explanation on why the clean version was still too much.

  It might not be what they planned but they’re now using it as an opportunity for more publicity to get something out of it especially now there are some potential sales they won’t be getting anymore.
