#foth: psa & etiquette

[focusontheheart]

On the eve of FOTH’s release, we want to reach out and list expectations we have as a team. For the past year, we have dedicated countless hours into providing Horizon fans just like us with free content made with professional standards. We know not every romanceable character is everyone’s flavor; however, we ask that you remember they are someone’s, especially those who worked on the route. 

💟 Be Respectful. This game is a year's worth of dedicated volunteer work from fellow fans. Do not discredit their hard work by needlessly hating on another ship, narrative, or art from our game. This includes popularity polls that pit the devs and fans against each other, such as favorite love interest/route, or most common ending.  💟 NO Ship Bashing. We will not tolerate any ship bashing of the routes or characters on any of our posts. This game was made with love and respect for all characters and ships, and we expect the same from players.  💟 Do not spoil the game for others. Many players will have a different experience, depending on what route they start with and what decisions they make along the way. We kindly ask that you do not spoil a route or path for other players. To aid in this, please use the hashtags below so people can whitelist to avoid spoilers. The spoiler embargo on our socials (and any of the team!) will lift one month after release (June 24). 💟 Please do not manipulate the game assets for any reason. We do NOT consent to our assets being used for commercial purposes. 💟 No "Constructive" Criticism. Do not tag our social media or any of the individual devs with negativity or criticisms. 💟 If you do want to tag our socials with your hype, please use #FOTHreact and #FOTHcharactername (ex. #FOTHErend, #FOTHTalanah) for the respective routes to prevent spoilers for other players. 

We thank you very much for your excitement and support. We wish you happy playing, and many smooches for Aloy. 💘
