Horses developer Santa Ragione has called out an Epic Games executive for making what it calls "provably incorrect" comments about the surreal horror game that was banned on multiple storefronts late last year.

Italian developer and well loved horror maker Santa Ragione found itself in hot water a few months ago after Steam blocked its latest game, the aforementioned Horses, from release on the storefront. The Epic Games Store got similarly cold feet, and being cut off from a huge percentage of PC gamers meant the studio is unlikely to have enough money to fund any future projects, according to its producer.

Santa Ragione has now responded to those comments on social media, writing: "Epic made provably incorrect statements about the game's content, refused to provide details supporting their claims, and has not shared their claimed [Adults Only] IARC certificate, which normally includes a link for the developer to appeal. They do not ‘love that studio’, they have effectively ghosted us."
