Horses dev disputes Epic Games Store exec's claim it "loves" their studio, saying: "They have effectively ghosted us"

Santa Ragione accused Epic Games Store of making "provably incorrect statements" about its horror game Horses and ghosting the studio after an eleventh-hour ban. The developer disputed Epic VP Steve Allison's claim that Epic "loves" the studio, citing lack of transparency around content violations and refusal to share the AO IARC certificate normally required for appeals. Epic maintains the ban stands based on content policy violations.
