I hate licensed DLCs

after a while they stop making outfits for them. That's it. Ash hasn't gotten a skin in what? 6 months. Ghostface, Demo, Nancy, Steve, PIG<33, Tapp. They all suffer from the same problem. It's not ok. If they want to add a licensed character to the game, at least give them a few cosmetics once in a while.

    The problem with skins for licensed characters is, that you have to get the approval of the owner of said license for everything you do with it. And that also costs more money.

    See Friday 13th, which died because of licence problems.

    License DLC's don't give the devs freedom like original DLCs do in terms of cosmetics.

    Well, then they should stop making licensed DLC so often. There are already rumors that Chapters 17 and 18 are licensed, and if it is to be true, it's going to be nasty.

    That’s the reason why you hate it?

    others say they hate licensed content because it costs money..

    they can’t just add cosmetics sadly, they need approval of the license holder and they also have to give some of the income of it to that license holder.

    Then it becomes a problem to create new killer that don't resemble licensed ones from movie or other game franchises.

    And another important aspect is to create a killer with power that works in this spaghetti code of game and fits a theme.

    Edit: for example a spider theme killer that can traverse walls and nets, you would have to fit and balance it to the existing game

    - another one that was propose a few day ago, a fog like figure that can slowly go through objects and wall. Feels like a mixture of nurse and Wraith (similarly as Oni was a mixture of Billy and Myers). Problem here would be the coding of walking through objects, so you don't end like nurse, which could blink over basements/up stairs and fall through the map.

    They shouldn’t stop with licensed chapters, they are well received and newer licenses get more cosmetics than older..

    but I agree 3 full chapters one after another seems a bit much for licenses. But it really depends on the licenses..

    Unlicensed are much better imo, although Shape and GF are good fun. Oni, Spirit, Deathslinger are all really cool unlicensed designs.

    Well like licensed killers are more powerful and are from like sweet movies or video games(I said video games cuz silent hill)

    (Off topic) Another thing is mobile players get free auric cells like why can't we

    I only started playing for Freddy DLC when it dropped. I doubt I’m the only one who joined the game to enjoy playing as an iconic killer. I hope they never stop, it’s my favorite feature.

    Like the most powerful Freddy perk is basically blood warden like having the endgame collapse timer go to less than halfway and having blood warden and teabagging and soon around like I'm insane on the exit gate teabaggers is so fun then entity insta kills then.
