Springtrap would fit. Lets talk.

(Sorry for any misspellings, English isn't my first language)

One thing I noticed in everyone saying "But there's still other licensed Killers way more important than fnaf" is that everyone seems to forget about who've already been added to the game.

First of all, devs considers what the community wants, but that's not what defines who's added in the game. There was not a giant part of the community asking for Pyramid Head and Demogorgon, but there they are, in the game and they are very natural in it. People have been asking for Pinhead since ever and there's nothing that hints at him being added to the game in the near future.

About his powers, that's also for the devs to decide as it's a game design matter, but I'm sure they can manage as well as they did for every other licensed character.

About the map, if it is Springtrap then Fazbear Frights (FNaF3 Location) would be perfect, fitting the same aesthetic as the Lery's Memorial Institute. "Um, actually that location it's too small for a map". Yes, but just as the devs said in the Stranger Things DLC, the Entity can modify the location, making it more fitting for the trials in the same way Hawkins Lab isn't really depicted as it is in the original source, but recreated by the Entity to be used in the trials. Therefore, Fazbear Frights would fit quite nice in the game.

Let alone the non-existent need for a Survivor in the every DLC, the security guard we play in most fnaf games would be great for the role. I don't know if the creator of fnaf, Scott Cawthon, would agree with giving a face to his faceless character, but if there's going to have a Survivor, I can only imagine being him if the DLC is going to be based on the games.

Vanny it's too new, I bet about 0.1% of DBD community knows that Glitchtrap even exists (even though a Glitchtrap skin would be my instant buy). Two Killers it's an interesting concept, but impossible for the devs to make it in time :/

To explain the lore in the last 3 fnaf games you've missed in a DbD forum would be more difficult than making the Fnaf dlc itself.

No.

It's just that the only people that have the interest are fnaf fans. There isn't much to work with on a character that is nothing more than a rotting carcass in an animatronic suit. No survivors to base from, no map potential, and what about his "weapon"? It would just be his blunt hands. There are simply better options to work with that would fit better anyway. Just go play the two mascot-suited killers we already have lol.

That's a problem a lot of potential killers have. Look at Jason, the last member of the Slashstreet Boys. In his own game he gets bear traps(Trapper), throwing knives(Huntress), short range high speed movement(Nurse, Spirit) long range teleportation( Freddy, Hag, Demo), stealth mode(Ghostface, Pig) a detection ability( perks) and Rage after a certain time that lets him one shot breakables(Oni specifically, but also Billy and Bubba to an extent). Nothing he shows in the movies could really be pulled out for a new power without colossal work, like grabbing through walls, or the whole Goes to Hell Jason possession thing.

And that doesn't count other horror icons who don't fit how the game works like Chucky, or the Puppet Master puppets. If anything the Puppets are more likely than Chucky just because of Littlest Reich.

DbD is a love letter to classic horror icons, the only newer licenses we have gotten was Bill from LFD who canonically made sense for the game and is a part of a cult classic game from 2008 and Stranger Things which was also a love letter to classic slashers, FNAF's main audience is children, something DbD's devs and community is very against, regardless of your opinion on the subject a Springtrap chapter is something only FNAF fans would appreciate, and not something that your average horror fan is going to look at highly, people are gonna be disappointed by it's announcement (because let's be honest having FNAF in the game before Alien, IT, Jason ETC, is just a kick in the nuts.) and it most likely wouldn't sell well compared to other bigger horror licenses. Whether the game is even considered horror is up for debate but I won't get into that now, but it just doesn't fit the theme that DbD has always stood for, it's a game of appreciation for the originals. People saw Silent Hill and went nuts because they figured this meant that any video game could make it into DbD despite the fact that we've had Bill from LFD2 for the better part of 3 years, Silent Hill made sense and fit so well because it's one of the original horror games that kicked off horror in gaming so it made sense. I personally am not a fan of IT, I think the original movie is pretty good and hope to god that if it's added it is in it's original form, but even if it was added as the modern adaptation I wouldn't be mad because it MAKES SENSE, it's a franchise that got it's roots in a cult classic film that has a very strong following. This is the point where I stop because I'm tired of ranting, I've played the games I think they're interesting and the lore is engaging but it's not something meant for DbD in mine and many others opinion.

This game doesn't have a steep learning curve.

Infact, dead by daylight has one of the lowest skill ceilings I've ever seen in a competitive PvP game.

" I know his kill count is low"

Legion murdered one guy lmao.

I think I'll probably DC everytime I have to face them.

you cultured man/woman you...
