Would you pay 10$ or more, freely, if..
If the devs said " We need 10$/€ to support our game immediately. With these we're going to do a big patch fix with tons of balancement, big fixes, improvements in fps quality " and you were sure this would work 100%, and dbd had a chance to become something superior, for sure, would you pay?

I would need to see actions, not just words.

No
We already do that for the cosmetics, DLC killers/perks, and Rift pass though

Yes, even more than 10$
Wow I would have expected more yes, but maybe the right thing to do is just no If BHVR doesn't wanna change its behaviour

I already played to get a functioning software.

I stopped buying cosmetics/dlc/rift because I wasn't seeing improvements to current gen consoles, just empty promises. 😂

I've already paid over $100 for this game. That should be more than enough to have it work right. it would also just be hilariously awful if a developer sold a game for money and then said, "Hey, everyone, give me another $10 and I'll try to fix it for you."

Understandable.

We already buy skins, rifts, chapters, and with more merch and editions of the game they do not need another 10 bucks.
It's been 2 years since they promised 60 fps on console and every patch comes with a significant bug or some frame rate issues and when asked for one game health update they say no or they don't need it. I'd rather wait until they pick up the pace until I pay even more. :/

Wow, a "Trusted" person that actually says something so meaningful and not biased. I would have never expected such a big thing.
EDIT: I mean that I'm surprised actually that not all of the Trusted people stay with the devs always no matter what happens. I tought the role was given only to super loyals, who screams very loud for all the events, just wants to screw around and don't care about the actual health of the game.

We're actually more critical of BHVR than you think. While we don't express it on the forums (that was my mistake I should be more expressive here) we're a lot more open to what we think on other platforms. :)
Hell half my Twitter is just me making fun of the game's optimization and stuff lol.

It's already their job to so this, so that's a no from me dawg

I've put enough money into the game for cosmetics and stuff. Those cosmetics are worth less than $10 a pop, so that money should be going towards making sure I can play this game on PS4. The money I've put into this game so far hasn't resulted in what I'd call a huge improvement. I'm not sure anything can really fix the damage that moving to dedicated servers did. Some games I'll go for 10 grabs; 9 result in the survivor running away untouched, and 1 actually ends with a survivor on my shoulder. Mikey's EW power bar going backwards, survivors running through Plague's vomit untouched, the survivor getting lost on the ground because they teleported when I downed them... yeah. If I could give a $10 donation to move the game back to P2P hosting, I might consider that. But that'll never happen, so I'm keeping my money.

Well it's respectable, pretending to have something after having ALREADY bought stuff

Yes. It would be a dangerous predicament to put themselves in though, because those who paid would expect swift results. I've quit other games just because I put so much time (and some money) into them but the company was just driving the game into the ground. If people are monetarily invested then you'd not only have expectations but varying expectations unless they made detail by detail what they'd be doing -- and even then that wouldn't stop some people from coming up with their own ideals.
So I doubt it would ever happen.
1 -
Yes
I change my answer to no because they should already have well enough money to do what the game needs.
2 -
Yes
Yes because I'm supposed to be 100% certain that it'll work. If I wasn't (even if there was 0.00000000001% chance of it not happening) then no.
1 -
Yes, less than 10$
I would give £5 but no more. They get money off us for chapters, rift and cosmetics.
If they promised to fix other aspects of the game people don't like I'd pay more. I.e better rift rewards (good bye 20 charm rifts), rank rewards and no more stupid linked skins for skins that don't need it.
2 -
Yes, even more than 10$
Only if I can be 100% sure that they will in fact improve the game.

Yes
I'm sure half of it would go towards cosmetics, but I'm still willing to help.

Honestly, I believe in supporting the products/brands/companies that I like. I like DBD, and I want to see it thrive.
The big thing for me is communication. If the Devs would reach out honestly to their fanbase and say, "Look, we're in a pinch and we want to do x-y-z" then yeah, I'd be happy to make a contribution.
That's also why I don't mind paying for DLC and cosmetics most of the time. I think most of their stuff is super affordable and I like supporting them.

Yes, even more than 10$
Honestly if I could play dbd without a single bug it would feel like buying a totally different game
1 -
Yes, even more than 10$
That's the truth. If we don't help bhvr, the game improves or either dies

No
I am gonna say "NO" simply because that is a tall task and i have yet to be given a reason to actually believe it lol....also with the amount spend on Cosmetics, DLC's, battle passes...Bug fixes are a given ..and balance changes don't seem possible (logically speaking)
BUT I would say "Yes"...IF it was possible at all..but it is not possible to balance this game..so nope...can you honestly say you can balance the game where 2 players don't escape, and 2 players escape?
1 -
No
no besides for me the fps has actually been great and i doubt what the devs would consider balance is actually balance

Already paid full game, several outfits and dlcs and the rifts so nah

After all the great reworks they've done to the maps, I would give them even more than 10$

No
Since every issue I have with the game comes from toxic players (and trying to balance those issues through perks would only lead to other players then abusing those) there simply is no way of „making the game perfect“. And since I‘ve never paid a dime to play, I‘m ok with that. ^_^
But if I suddenly had to pay money to play, I wouldn’t.

No
Why would I pay for basic consumer rights I've already paid for by purchasing the game in the first place?
2 -
No
Nope, we paid for a game and it should work as intended, having a small amount of bugs is understandable but not to the degree we have after every content update and charging for fixing the game is extremely shady, its like selling you a new car with a busted motor and then "ah, you want it running pay me additional money".
I wouldnt mind they implement different ways of monetization IF they are not P2W, like the cosmetic battlepass, new high quality cosmetics or licensed skins etc, as long as its not P2W I wouldnt care, I also wouldnt care they dont push out new Killers or Survivors for some time.

No

I changed my mind. I find it hard to believe that a company that made 202 million dollars off of one game in a year needs to ask for a donation. It is like a billionaire asking for money.
2 -
No
Payday 2 got an exception because the company honestly tried to move to completely free dlc but just didnt have the money, and even now release free dlc when they can afford it. Not only that, but dlc heists can be played with friends as long as one of them has the heist dlc.
BHVR is just greedy. They give us garbage then act surprised when we complain about the quality. They dont care about equality in game, and serve the survivor playerbase because ita larger and gives them more money. Some of the beat perks are locked behind licensed killers but they then have the audacity to go "We are trying not to be pay to win" while they casually nerf non-licensed perks and buff licensed perks now and then (though even then usually not enough to make it more useful). They dont deserve money. They should be paying killers for the ######### they have to go through because of stupid-exploitable survivor perks and are matched against people 5 ranks higher than them if not straight red ranks.
I know theyre different departments, but its obvious theres a lot more money flowing into design than there is flowing into simple bug fixing, so if i did give them $10, theyll use it to develop a skin that will cost me $15 extra, and not fix perks, balance the game, or even do basic testing and qa.

No
We shouldn't have to pay them for them to do a job they should already be doing as developers.

Yes, even more than 10$
Yes but covid switched things up, so they might need more support, that's why maybe they were forced to release the twins with tons of bugs(?)
0 -
No
I think at the moment it's not so much a money problem but the struggles of working from home 100%. So I don't think giving them more money even now is going to change things up.

No
I would only play that much extra If they make a DBD spin off that was like friday the 13th the game mechiancs wise..Otherwise,I do not wanna see their vision of "balanced" as a full game.

Yes
As the OP mentioned we would know 100% they would fix their game, than sure. That being said since we dont have gaurantees if they tried this i wouldnt spend 10¢ on it

Since I work hard and have a lot of money there is no reason not to pay.

Sounds like a politician making promises that will never come true lol but seriously even if I was 100% sure they would fix every little thing I would still second guess myself.
