"Light of Motiram is also no longer listed on Steam and the Epic Games Store despite the game's website showing links to listings on both stores as of this writing. A user on the game's official subreddit also noticed the removal, pointing to a SteamDB link that says "this app has been retired and is no longer available on the Steam store.""
"Light of Motiram was announced last year, and the aesthetics of its reveal trailer show a striking resemblance to Horizon the series, featuring lush landscapes, futuristic technology, and monstrous animal-like robots. In its lawsuit, Sony also alleged that Tencent used its "rip-off" of Horizon protagonist Aloy as the "centerpiece" of its marketing and promotional strategy. "Tencent's unlawful copying of the protected audiovisual elements of the Horizon games, as well as its deliberate adoption of a confusingly similar character mark, constitutes both copyright and trademark infringement"
Sony sued Tencent in July to block the release of Light of Motiram, alleging the game was a "slavish clone" of the Horizon series and that Tencent used a "rip-off" of protagonist Aloy in marketing. The parties reached a confidential settlement and the case was dismissed with prejudice. Light of Motiram was removed from Steam and the Epic Games Store, with a SteamDB entry stating the app has been retired. The game's reveal trailer showed landscapes, futuristic technology, and robotic creatures resembling Horizon. Tencent and SIE said they were pleased to have resolved the matter and will make no further public comment.
