Italian developer Santa Ragione faces potential closure after Valve permanently blocked its newest release from Steam distribution, claiming the title contains imagery suggesting minor involvement in inappropriate scenarios. Studio co-founder Pietro Righi Riva disclosed that an automated rejection cited prohibited content despite the team's insistence that a controversial farm sequence lacked any sexual elements and was subsequently revised to feature only adult characters.

The platform demanded evaluation of an incomplete build during initial submission, which Riva believes triggered the erroneous flagging before substantial narrative adjustments could be implemented. Without access to Steam's dominant marketplace, the creator of Saturnalia and Mediterranea Inferno cannot recover production expenses through alternative storefronts alone.

Horses launches on Epic, GOG, Humble, and Itch platforms, though Riva acknowledges probable studio dissolution unless sales dramatically exceed expectations across these secondary channels.
