Metacritic Responds to Homophobic Review Bombing of Horizon Forbidden West DLC

Metacritic plans to introduce stricter moderation policies after the Burning Shores DLC for Horizon Forbidden West was review bombed due to the confirmation of protagonist Aloy's sexuality. The company is currently working on evolving its tools and processes for moderation to combat abusive and disrespectful reviews. Review bombing has been an issue for other media, and many celebrated Metacritic's statement on Twitter. A third Horizon game is already in the works.
