Demogorgon after November
Any thoughts on what will happen to the Demogorgon once he is made exclusive, other than what we already know?
We know that all Stranger Things characters will have no native perks from now on. Behaviour won’t be able to balance Demo anymore, so Demo is essentially stuck in the game like a sore thumb to Behaviour.
Making these characters exclusive will create a lot more elitism in this game, a lot more than any exclusive cosmetics or charms did, since it’s an exclusive killer that no new player will be able to try without buying scalped nightmare edition copies of the game. He is considered by many to be a decent killer too, usually sitting around the middle of killer tier lists (at least in my observations).
I am worried that this will be unhealthy for the game, but there’s not much you can do when it comes to licensing issues.

I believe they said they could balance him still. Just they magically can't reskin the map.

Mods have said demo <and perks> will still receive changes but simply will not be sold anymore. All Stranger Things perks will be made general, and Hawkins will be removed for reasons <Likely legal problems>.

Fair enough. I vaguely recall hearing at one point that they wouldn't be able to adjust Demo since they didn't own the license anymore. That helps on the gameplay front, but the elitism issue remains.
It won't be the best for new players to go against a Demo knowing they will never be able to try that killer for themselves.

the elitism issue remains.
For that there is no solution since they can't make demo, steve and nancy free
The only two ways to remove "elitism" would be to remove them from the game (no thanks, I'd like to keep characters I paid for) or to give them free to everyone, but I guess Netflix would be slightly upset in that case

To correct the misinformation here, we are still able to balance and fix bugs etc for the characters in our game, Demo will still be supported. Just won't be purchasable.

Cosmetics also won't be purchasable after November 17th

May I ask, what if there would be new animations for (all) killers needed because of a new mechanic/feature (like breaking walls or snuffing totems if existing animations wouldn’t have worked)?
