Yesterday, the Epic Games Store decided at the last minute not to distribute the game, after having previously approved a release build. HORSES is otherwise now available on GOG, Itch, and Humble for $4.99. www.horses.wtf

RIP Charlie Kirk, you would have loved politicizing the shooting of Charlie Kirk.
on a serious note it's incredible how little they cared about the guy. he wasn't even confirmed as dead, never mind his body cold, before they started pushing "lefist" and "trans" "terrorism" narratives. they saw the blood gush out of his neck and thought "this is an excellent opportunity."
just so you know, twitter losers are trawling through bluesky and doing their usual thing of complaining about people who are telling jokes. comedy is legal now, losers. deal with it.

Silicon Valley’s alliance with Donald Trump was a mask off moment and showed the world we can’t depend on US tech companies.

What a lot of centrists dont realize is that a lot of us supported them to keep the GOP fascism dam from breaking, but now that the GOP is essentially ripping every institution apart in the name of fascism, there is very little incentive for us to support them over their more radical counter-parts.

more and more elements of the games industry are going to align themselves with gambling in the coming years, in a normalization of market failure. it is crucial to build a new paradigm for games and it must be ideologically opposed to this one. restructuring around gambling is anti-culture.
