00:00Horses, the controversial indie horror game that got banned on Steam, has actually sold
00:04enough copies to break even, but that's where the good news ends.
00:09Admittedly, the Steam ban gave Horses a huge visibility boost, with players rallying behind
00:14it, but Steam is far and away the dominant PC storefront, and Horses not being available
00:20there would be a massive detriment to any PC-only release, so even with all that attention,
00:26it still wasn't enough to keep the studio going.
00:30Developer Santaragione has now confirmed Horses sold about 18,000 copies, bought in roughly
00:35$65,000 and paid off its debts, but sadly this result is not enough to begin production on
00:43a new game.
00:44There's always a chance someone with a lot of money sees Horses, and decides to invest
00:48in Santaragione for another game, but the cynic in me worries that the fact that hasn't happened
00:54yet, even after weeks of high-profile media attention, means there's a low chance of that
00:59ever happening.
