Licensed Killers

When we face a licensed killer, we use their real name instead of their in-game name.

  • We call The Shape, Michael,
  • We call The Nightmare, Freddy
  • We call The Cannibal, Bubba
  • We call The Executioner, Pyramid Head
  • We call The Cenobite, Pinhead.

But is there anyone out there that actually says Amanda instead of Pig? I have literally never seen someone call her Amanda, not a single time. Why?

    Probably because she doesn't really resemble Amanda from the movies. I don't remember her ever wearing a pig costume there.

    Pig is shorter, and way more recognisable to people who don’t know the Saw franchise. She’s not the main villain of the franchise, after all.

    Thus, Pig catches on in the game’s jargon, and here we are.

    Pig is just a way cuter name than the others. Imagine always having to say executioner when talking about Pyramidhead.

    Though, actually when I play swf we don’t even use the in-game or character names but some kind of nicknames.

    it’s mostly piggy or Ms. Piggy for pig/Amanda for example.
