However you frame it, Valve's ham-fisted ban of an indie darling is another blow for free expression in video games, and this will always be a tragedy Free expression in video games is in the spotlight, and Valve's banning of Horses might be only one instance of many that put that expression at risk.

Brilliant editorial by @eurogamer.bsky.social - it’s about time @valvesoftware.com started listening to its business partners and its audience www.eurogamer.net/however-you-... #games #gamesindustry #Valve

Steam did not respond to a request for comment on the piece. However, @outmakinggames.bsky.social described the move as "deeply disturbing" - criticising it for banning a title from a queer owned studio without warning.

Brilliant piece.

This is so disappointing. WTH are @valvesoftware.com up to? We certainly won’t be investing in their new #SteamMachine or anything else until they correct this BS. Well done Apple and @newsfromgoogle.bsky.social www.videogamesindustrymemo.com/p/how-steam-...
