Will Patch 4.5.2 Be The Comeback, or The Downfall of DBD?

It's impossible to deny the backlash that the majority of the community (survivors) have voiced over the unwanted, heartless, and ignorant decisions made to install Patch 4.5.0. This patch included a multitude of features and changes that were pointed out by many prominent Twitch streamers to be detrimental to DBD... and then, regardless of those concerned paying community member voices, the patch was still put through. It was put through so console players could get a feel for what they already saw on professional streams. And the majority of those console players also did not want Patch 4.5.0 to go through; but it still went through. As a result, many of those same prominent Twitch streamers and console gamers have taken a break from the game. Some temporary breaks, some permanent breaks. Will Patch 4.5.2 change all that?

WHY PATCH 4.5.2 MAY BE THE COMEBACK OF DBD:

• If changes are made to the HUD, UI, Hit-boxes, Locomotion, etc. (everything that was begged not to be put through) that reflect the pre-patch norm... then more loyal community members may come back. They may come back because some of those changes "fixed" things that were not broken, and those changes in turn broke the game. The loyal community members want to come back to a game that is not broken, where their voices are put into reflective action. They want to come back to a game where they can have fun.

WHY PATCH 4.5.2 MAY BE THE DOWNFALL OF DBD:

• People understand that everyone makes mistakes, we're human. But to not right those wrongs (Patch 4.5.0) towards an entire community is a display of self-righteousness, heartlessness, and ignorance.

• The community wants to feel their opinions heard and implemented, not tip-toed around.

• If Patch 4.5.2 still tip-toes around and dodges mass requests of a loyal community, then numbers may still decline. They'll decline because people care about democracy. People care about having their feelings and needs met. But as I've said, people care about having fun and creating lasting bonds and memories. But a bond with DBD won't be possible if people are taking permanent breaks from the game.

WHAT DO YOU THINK DBD COMMUNITY? WHAT WILL BE THE IMPACT OF PATCH 4.5.2?
