    I don't think the devs are as greedy as you think...I hope I am not wrong because I do enjoy this game a lot. But think about it....the strongest killer is free lol cosmetics will always just be cosmetics. If we start getting better perks from this then I will question it.

    Everyones like "FIX THE CORE GAME FIRST!" Yeah okay well a game without content cant get new players and cant keep old ones around without dying. Its best the way it is now.

    This game will most likely never be balanced, for example Spirits have had no counter play since after the ptb pretty much and no one finds going against a good spirit fun

    It doesn't means it's going to come mid-chapter. The roadmap shows that it is not certain that it will come by then. That it is possible. Everything on the roadmap to me is tentative becuase anything can happen from now until then.

    Hopefully they'll give some news about it ahead of time. Don't wanna have people hopes up to just then a week or two before the mid-chapter say it's not coming then

    They might mention it during a live stream before the Hallowed Blight event. If they have one. Never know.

    It's a system within a game for the developing company to sell players the chance to earn digital goods through a grind system.

    It is most prevalent in free to play games where that is the game's sole source of income. The systems are often predatory in nature, taking advantage of specific types of people who are vulnerable to this kind of psychological manipulation.

    They're upsetting to many people for various reasons, but for me, I don't think a free to play monetization system should be in a game that isn't free to play.

    Dead by Daylight already has a cosmetics shop so the implementation of a system like this is strictly a cash grab. And with all the bugs and issues the game it can be said that the focus on further monetization of the game over various fixes isn't a consumer friendly move to say the least.

    This is one of my favorite videos on the subject.

    I don't because Exclusive are a terrible marketing ploy and also because the game need a huge patch to fix a huge amount of bugs, be more stable and to add a bunch of QoL fixes, it's getting tiring to have the game break at every patch , especially the sounds which is really important in this game.

    I wont buy any damn battlepass in a game with so many DLC and Cosmetics, devs are just getting greedy with the rift

    As long as the rifts aren't timed exclusives I'm all for it.

    They've already been confirmed to be timed exclusives tied to each Archive which is slated to last 3 months by the looks of it.

    Once it's over, they're gone.

    Consumer unfriendly psychological manipulation at its finest.

    This is incredibly upsetting to me; as a longtime veteran of this game.


    i find it incredibly distasteful, disrespectful to it's playerbase.

    Devs; A majority of players do not want this because it incentives an pay-2-enjoy experience and distributes an unfair experience to those who do not pay for this reward system.

    I supported this company initially by buying DLC/Cometics straight from the Steam Store. Then once that system predominatly was amended to including the In-store Cosmetic/DLC experience via Auric Cells. Despite my hesitancy, I accepted this change and beleived it to being part of the increasing process of keeping the game alive and it's players enjoying the game.

    I understand that you, the Devs, are trying to introduce new content and ways of accessing it. However, it is my opinon [and apparently many, many others] that a Dead By Daylight Deathpass™️ [Aka Battlepass] is not the way to do it.

    I recently checked the poll result and count and here is what it said.

    I commend the Devs on trying to think outside the box on adding new systems and content to keep the game going, fresh and alive. However, this is a big step away from what Dead By Daylight and the company has been about.

    Listen to your players on this one; We applaud your efforts, but this is not the way to do it. Sure, implementing this system despite the glaring and loud outcry to not. You'll probably be profitable doing such. But by doing such, you're going to some amount of players in the process. But for those that stay, some will entirely ignoring this new Deathpass™️system and the others will begrudingly hand over more money, and even fewer will happily do so.

    Despite the gathering numerous issues I personally have with the game, I will do my best to continue being apart of the community and supporting the game development.


    Edit: I have over 2600 hours played and around 1600 Norsk Krone [200+ CAD]
