Is sitting on the hatch considered "taking the game hostage"?
I'm talking to both sides with this one. I'm not being a salty killer main or taking the survivors side. If a killer sits on the hatch waiting for the last survivor to show up or if the survivor sits on the hatch while their teammate dies, isn't that taking the game hostage? You're saying by doing that "If I can't have the hatch then no one can" by doing so. You're denying the other side the ability to use the hatch as the other side is able to (Killer's closing it and survivors escaping through it). I'm just curious because I actually don't know the answer to it. I know everyone has done it at some point, but still curious.

Killer sitting on hatch when the last survivor is around is taking game hostage. Survivor sitting on hatch is not hostage because the game will end with the death of the other survivor and the killer finding hatch.

I'd like to reply and be like "YOU'RE BEING SURVIVOR SIDED YOU TOXIC LITTLE SURVIVOR MAIN" but I can see why that would be true. Although would you say that helping your teammate should be a higher priority if you could both get out would be better? Not like reportable but just to be a better teammate.

The game can still end so it wouldn't be holding the game a hostage.
The survivor can just go to an exit gate instead and the killer have option to close the hatch, hit the survivor and forfeit hatch or chase the survivor if they decide to go to the exit gate assuming the survivor is visible to the killer.
The only way of holding a game as a hostage is to prevent the game from ending, no matter what the victim(s) might try to end it.

This is real correct answer. Although if the killer sat on the hatch and made me do all 5 gens and then open the exit gate to leave just because the other 3 survivors DCs, I would sad.

Oh definitely I'm not saying just sit on hatch. I'm saying if the survivor is sitting on hatch the game will still end. But yeh be a good teammate.
