Locking Charms Behind Watching Certain Streamers for a CHANCE at getting it is ridiculous

Where do you even enter them?

Go into the in game store. At the top right theres a button that says "Redeem Code". Click that and enter!

Front page of the in-game store. Upper right is a place to enter codes..

Content is content, and there is nothing that says that it should only be unlockable in-game. Should we ban a DLC containing a variety of charms because you can't unlock it by playing the game? I wasn't even talking about Twitch Prime - just normal Twitch. Still, should we ban all content that isn't available in every region? These rules make no sense.

This is an entirely different situation, though.
You can't play DBD if you want the charm, because you can't be in a match to redeem it, and because it's during a stream, you have to watch a stream and hope for a code, and not play dbd or you'll have to disconnect or the code will go to everyone else, it's just a very backwards way of doing it.

Wow @MandyTalk has his little hands in everything this morning. Editing, banning.. busy busy!

I'm not entirely sure which part Mandy Edited, it looks the same I did remove a piece where I mentioned DCing but quickly removed it as that may be seen encouraging DCing maybe she didn't see the edit, for what it's worth Mandy is a great moderator and I stand by whatever she may have changed.

Again, asking for all the content to be available in a game you purchased with money shouldn't be a problem. I paid for the game, so I should have access to everything the game has to offer, aside from Licensed content for obvious reasons of contracts.
It's that simple really. This isn't a F2P, where I wouldn't complain about such nonsense.

Wait wait... the issue is that you have to take a break from DBD, or risk playing distracted, to watch the stream? Are you serious? This is like complaining about Behavior putting ice cream in your freezer because you can't play DBD and also take a break to get yourself ice cream.
If you want to play DBD, just play DBD. It'll be exactly as if Behaviour never made the charm in the first place. If you really want the charm for who knows what reason, it is still trivial to get... I don't get it.

Thanks @SenzuDuck
@Jos_724 I didn't edit anything, the forum puts that notice when threads are moved...and I moved this one to the correct Sub Forum!

Paying for a game does not make you entitled to additional content for free, never mind additional content that's unlockable in the specific ways you want. If Behaviour straight up stopped making new content the day after you bought the game and only released bug fixes until the game died, that's their prerogative. They never promised us free charms. Hell, most of us probably bought the game before charms even existed.

If they add content that is free, such as this charm, it should be unlockable in game.
It's a marketing plug.

You keep stating this, but this is just something you want, probably because it would be nice and convenient, and because it doesn't meet that standard you're complaining about it. Making all free content unlockable in game is not based in ethics or industry precedent. I don't think we have anything else to say to each other.

It's simply good customer service. That's all it is. I didn't realize things had to be written in a guidebook to actually give good customer service.
Also, if you say it isn't in industry precedent, I'm just gonna assume you don't play very many video games. Try MHW.

You're clearly not understanding this, are you? I still have to have DBD open to redeem the code, so I either dedicate my free time to redeeming this code -AS THERES NO OTHER WAY BESIDES IN GAME- or I watch a stream while doing something else, and hope I open it faster than everyone else who IS waiting for a code.
The fact you think this ok is absurd to me, I either dedicate all my time, because i have to watch a stream and have the game open anyway, or I just don't get the charm.
If I have dbd open I want to play, I don't want to leave it in the background to race for a code.

I think this is okay because it's a ######### charm lol. It makes absolutely no difference to the game. It is bottom of the barrel even as far as cosmetics go. I'm sure the devs are thinking the same; it's just a nice little thing for people who already watch streams, not something the rest of the player base should be rabid for.
I think you will be happier if you just play the game and don't worry about it. That's what I'm going to do. If you don't want to watch a stream for a charm, then don't.

So can someone clarify this: the code is just shown on-stream, and it's whoever types it/them in first gets the charm? Not even randomly giving out the codes via DM or linking your DbD profile to twitch? If that's the case then B R U H. That's literally worse than when valorant were doing key drops, and things like CSGO and overwatch loot box drops in tournament streams. At least there they were randomly distributed and were sent directly to your account.

Perk Treats - A bucket of candy perks. No one seems to have touched the This Is Not Happening candies.
- Check out the in-game news post about the Halloween Charms and enter the Promo Code during the event to claim this reward.
Blighted Jack - A jack-o-lantern that became a test subject for blight serum.
- To claim this Halloween Charm, keep an eye on our Social channels for a Promo Code that will be redeemable throughout the event.
Dwightcrow - The crows don’t seem afraid of this at all...
- For this Charm, check out any of our Fog Whisperers during event dates. The Promo Codes they reveal have limited uses, so act fast once you’ve got your hands on one.
Trap-o-Lantern - A good mask makes the murderer.
- Tune in to Twitch Rivals on Halloween to get access to a Promo Code with unlimited uses to unlock this Charm.
Yeah Limited uses is really crap considering they said they wouldnt do things like that any more. After the whole having to give EVERYONE cosmetics from previous limited events a year ago or so because people were actually selling their accounts or the codes for big bucks .

Exactly!

Cool you don't like charms, I do though, and I've been playing this game for 4 years, I shouldn't have to race to get a charm I really like the look of.
I hope they lock something you like behind a race where you have to dedicate time watching something you may not like so you have to race to get it, sounds really cool, just because you don't like something doesn't mean you shouldn't stand up against bad practices.
"this doesn't affect me so i shouldn't care about how bad this is for the game", standard selfish player imo

While I think the limited-time code is a bad idea, this is basically the same thing Overwatch does, but you earn sprays via watchtime of selected streamers (though they have updated to anyone streaming OW recently).
There is nothing wrong with promoting their community members. They, like everyone, are trying to make a living, and Behavior is trying to reward that partnership.
Take it from someone who has struggled with compulsions to collect and complete things in games; if you are willing to harrass, threaten, scream about, or generally act age-inapppriate over a couple polygons and textures, you need to do some reflection and maybe seek help.
It's disturbing that this kind of behavior has been normalized in the gaming community.

Making players watch a specific streamer for a Halloween charm code doesn't bother me as the developers want to promote their partnered content creators. However, the fact that these codes are limited is not good at all. Because of this, people who are actively trying to get the code (and watching a fog whisperer stream) may still miss out due to the limited nature of the codes. Due to some of these partners' large fanbases, I can see the codes being gone within seconds of a reveal.

That's great! Then by all means, if it means a lot to you, watch the streams or follow a friend or something who might post a code.
I got frustrated in my post, so I'll articulate a bit; this really has nothing to do with my cosmetic tastes. Provided it doesn't make a difference to gameplay, I think Behaviour should do whatever they want with cosmetics. They could have just not made a cosmetic, or they could have sold it for an extortionate price like the rest of them. Would that have been better?
I see rewarding people who consume DBD content with a cosmetic as a good thing, tbh. Rewarding people who interact with the game with a cosmetic item that otherwise might have cost money makes sense, because it's just a digital good anyway (meaning basically free distribution) increasing interaction with the game make Behaviour money. Behaviour making money is also of course good for the game, which is why I support it.. I'm sure some of the people who consume DBD content appreciate it too.

https://www.twitch.tv/puppers is giving codes...
Funny story, was playing a game (not DBD). Opened twitch to see if there was any streamer on... Puppers was. Openned DBD, tryed the first code and voilá... still on time.
He is giving a lot of codes right now.
