Would changing the game foundation actually be a good idea?

If dbd actually wanted to keep just 1 game mode, instead of creating more game modes...they'd have to be very careful imo. Just look at what happened to Deceit: New game mode, completely new game....and more than 50% of its players active lost, completely. Perhaps the game could die. So, would changing the foundation actually be a good idea? Just give a quick opinion and let's discuss a bit, because I'm hearing some people talking about the game foundation.

    I feel like there's no point in changing the whole thing. The people who play DBD do so because we more or less like what the game is like (more or less lol) so making it something completely different doesn't sound like a good idea to me.

    I would LOVE IT if they added new game modes, however. But then again, I don't know if it's a good idea, because of how bad the queue times already are. So, for now, I feel that the game is better staying as it currently is.

    The truth is, I don't know what to say about it ... but I'm sure that if they add at most 2 game modes it would be a success. but the difference is that they balance things well if they want to implement another game mode such as 2vs8 or hide and seek.

    All of the games variables and mechanics are balanced around the main mode ,

    So in order to do another game mode it would have to be a Limited time mode with certian map perks and killers disabled

    If it does work out , oh well it's a limited time mode for a reason

    In my opinion, Dead By Daylight never should have went the direction it did.

    When dbd was first released it was far more stealth oriented then it is right now, and in my opinion it should have stayed that way. It just doesn't feel right to me that a puny little survivor can run the bloodthirsty killer around a piece of wood for 10 minutes.

    For obvious reasons, it's far to late to completely change the foundations of the game, so I'll take a new game mode.

    Ive never seen anyone say that. By code foundation, maybe, the foundation of the code (but not the code itself, they know how to do that much now) is not suitable to such a large game, explaining the multiple bugs whenever something unrelated is changed.

    Either way, though, I feel like this game could use something different. The formula it has right now is good, but something extra but seperate wouldn't hurt.

    If this game was still stealth-oriented, it would have died a long time ago. Stealth is inherently not fun to me and I'm sure many other players, at least not to the extent of the chase. The Killer playing hide and seek instead of tag constantly is not nearly as fun.

    Also the Killer is not a Killer, they're a dumbass behind a screen. This game isn't a horror game because of that. Survivors don't fear most Killers (I personally am scared of Wraith because I'm blind, Hag because I'm stupid, and Oni because AAAAAA) because of that, as well.
