New players get a free dlc of their choice?

So, if new people come to the game, there's not alot of option and people will of course try killer to see how it is. what if, everyone gets a free dlc of their choice? For instance, if I want leatherface, a stand alone killer, I can use my free dlc choice on him, or if I choose, let's say freddy, I will unlock the nightmare dlc which includes freddy and Quentin. This way people can choose what killer and survivor they enjoy most, without grinding forever, and I highly doubt people will buy dlcs within the first day of playing.

    Freddy and LF are bad examples. No way they'd ever be allowed to give them away

    I mean you can get the majority of characters by just playing so

    I would agree for the non-license characters like legion, the clown, etc

    I think it is unfair for people who bought all DLC.

    I bought all but one. And if they gave out 1 for free for new players, they better give old players some Auric Cells to balance the load.


    (I'd say give 1 Survivor or 1 killer for free [Non Licensed] So they could give out only 500 Cells per old player)


    BUT, There's currently no way to review if they are old or new on all systems. Plus that could take up alot of server space. So here's what I propose:


    -500 Auric Cells if you completed the Tutorial for both the Survivor and Killer.


    ^^^ This will benefit all players


    And the tutorial will only has a limit of 1 Per player. So they can't abuse the tutorial.


    (You can still play the tutorial multiple times but, will give you Cells only 1 time)

    They already have given free DLCs, just not ones of your choice.

    There's no need to include free DLC with the game. Splinters already exist within the game that give people without the DLC the ability to play many of the killers they don't already own. Between the ones the game comes with and splinters found in the occasional bloodweb, new players have access to many ways to experience the game before deciding if they want to spend any more of their money.

    Steam already has Saw and Halloween bundles that have the base game and those respective DLCs.

    Just go and give away some money because reasons.

    This is what you are asking devs to do. Entitled...

    So let's assume you start up your company and it's small shop.

    Would you agree to give away 7$ for free to every new customer you have?

  • LordGlint
    LordGlint Member Posts: 8,689

    @theArashi Many shops actually do that. Not give away money of course, but they give away product in the form of a free sample. When theres already competition in the area, you want the locals to try YOUR stuff so theyll come back instead of just going for the tried and true. Why buy coffee at my shop instead of the starbucks close by? Try this sample and see for yourself that MY product is better.

    More seriously why the ######### would they give away stuff they had to pay to add to the game in the first place?

    With the base game you already have the "meta" killer survivor are just skin and the vast majority of character are just farmable
