I've been around since about the games 4th year anniversary due to a friend gifting me this game who really loved silent hill. I've seen really horrible updates, perk balance, awful killer releases, out of control healing mechanics,gen regression and the like. I toughed it out through it all and even willingly maxed out my rift solo/duo during the time skull merchant was at her prime with call of brine and eruption being the norm even when most of my friends lost interest.

This is the first update that has honestly killed my drive for wanting to even play. Being shown potential for core issues on the game actually being addressed and then having all that taken back in its near entirety over like 4 months of limbo just felt like an utter waste of time and now the role i play the most is in an objectively worse spot (just one of many examples is off the record, in the 'anti tunnel update' they cut the most popular anti tunnel perk's duration in half just cause it was deemed 'too effective')

I genuinely can't even think of a positive in this update i actually enjoy at all besides the side grade needle and i figure that'll go the way of fog vials in 2weeks-9months due to being loud enough complaints clearly giving results.

Now I can get if people think this is survivor entitlement but genuinely snowballing is awful for both sides and i wish it would be addressed.. like hell even for killers who have a hard time I'd like gens to get progressively slower if they didn't get a lot of hooks. Give everyone a fighting chance so match quality can be consistent.


This isn't going to be an 'I quit' post or 'I'm uninstalling'. I'll still play it with friends on occasion who really want to and I've got a ton of great memories. I just wish this game still had the courage to make big changes and seeing how easily stuff got completely reverted and removed after even cutting so deep into the typical content cycle…it just hurts to see and i don't think I'm going to be enjoying myself with the game anywhere near like i used to.

It just doesn't feel like there's stuff to look forward to anymore.
