Should not be allowed to own the IP DBD.
Behavior interactive being Sold the IP Dead by daylight after a bankruptcy from Starbreeze studios has got to be one of the worst things ever to of happened in my gaming career. They have a substantial issue of not accepting feedback and exploit reports when it comes to their Steam forums and their official forums. I was outright banned from the steam forum when I tried to point out that the company was doing an illegal practice here in the United States and that i was trying to be helpful. Instead of the moderator deleting the topic and forwarding it to the company. They instead banned me out of petty-ness. For starters. this game has undergone some really poor decisions made at the top. A game that was based upon American HORROR films no longer is an horror game. it is now some strange Fan Fiction mash up of how strange fandom meets horror movies. Dont ask me how we go from a Dark scary game that makes your heart race, to a weird game of gymnastics with bad guys from Famous movie franchises. Like who signs off on this?! For starters, game balance turned into a wreck. We had bad guys free passes and the characters that are supposed to be heroes of the game are suddenly turned into losers the moment one of their team mates is lagging behind. The Closing of the hatch is the biggest slap in the face to anyone because if one or two team mates that you are randomly paired off with are being trolls or are not applying effort. The Hatch mechanic was in place from the original creators of this game (starbreeze) to incentivize you survived the "Darwin test". Now, the badguy gets a free pass at the behest of your terrible team mate, and gets to close the hatch so you basically have to pay for what your bad team mates failed to do! next is the perks issue. BBQ and chili, and other radar perks are used to give the badguy a specific instance that occurs in the game to see the location of everyone hiding! Yes.. in a game of high stakes "hide and go seak". They give the badguy (the seaker) now a radar perk?! WTF?! talk about poor game design? Their excuse for this was giving bad players a way to be good at hide n seek.. okay so now everyone that cheats (including my friends that play this game and download hax) use BBQ and Chili, and nurses calling, and game exploits to keep the perk running.. LOL!!! Anyway, dealing with customer service has been awful on this. I tried to make it a point to them that these are exploits caused by reiterations of their game and that removing it would make it so they can detect the cheaters more easily.. but you know. instead they gotta BAN people, no matter how polite you are about warning them. Anyway overall. sad to see a good game ruined by BHVR inc.
