That’s what happens when you killers complain all the time about everything. So many people quit playing, twitch dbd players also went down about 5k players or more from viewing also.4

Also show me where people quit playing because this claims different https://steamcharts.com/app/381210

Its the truth tho, usually on twitch you have about 20k people on dbd for viewing and today was only about 10k0

Just because you don't play survivor anymore, doesn't mean you left the game.
Killer want longer queue times they got longer queue times0 -

Ok dude, all that is connected on how many people are actually playing the game or not. People view games they play, I’m not gonna watch a cod stream if I don’t play cod. People are getting upset about all the complaining the killers do all the time. Even in the steam forums. I don’t want this game to die I love playing dbd, so I’m worried about these long wait times also, been notincing it myself all day today also.1

Yeah BHVR messed up the lobbies again.
But we should take a break from DBD after rank reset anyway, so it kinda fits

They loved being the power role.
Now that the role is assigned to the correct person, the Killer, so many are just disliking Survivor.1 -

Its the truth tho, usually on twitch you have about 20k people on dbd for viewing and today was only about 10kYou also have some streamers broadcasting the new CoD game instead of DBD. Why? Because the CoD game is the new AAA kid on the block, and they're likely testing whether or not their viewership will increase while broadcasting it.
Like him or not (I don't personally care about him either way), but while scanning Twitch streamers the past two days, I notice that AngryPug has been doing more CoD than DBD, and he's 2k+ viewers right there. There was another one that usually busts close to 2k for DBD that was also doing CoD, but I forget his name off hand. They did stream some DBD as well, but it wasn't as long as usual.
Meanwhile, the steam charts are holding steady. So, yes, there are less people watching DBD right now, and at least one or two of the "big streamers" for DBD are testing out CoD broadcasts and taking their viewers there, but as for people playing on PC, steam shows no such drop in active players.
It simply looks like BHVR screwed up lobbies again. Last night Matt Cote streamed, and even he couldn't get his Killer lobby to pop. I'm sure it was a bit embarrassing.

People watch streams of games they don't play all the time. And how can you argue that less people are playing DBD based on Twitch views and not the ACTUAL numbers provided by Steam.
Its like, are we in a crazy world when playing isn't playing but viewing is?

Killers said it yourself, its now fun to be a killer. So survivors switched to killer too...but how many killer mains are playing survivor right now? :P

It seems to be more of a problem on PC than console. I have not had any issues on XBox, but all the PC streamers I watch are having a hard time with lobby wait times as killer too.
