Anyone know why Fungoose dropped DBD?

Lol potentially can bring you more viewers and knowing goose he's confident enough to try to get popular lol streamer

You can tell a lot of streamers are fed up with this game but they know if they drop it they lose a lot of viewers. Take monto for example, you can tell he is fed up with dbd but when he posts other videos he doesn't get near the same amount of views.

This is a dangerous lul. The devs have ignored feedback in hopes of just cranking more content and outfits. Their priorities may make them more money in the short term... but they have lost a great portion of the original fanbase. I myself took over a year off. It is frustrating in many games to feel the devs ignore the feedback. but you can look at the meta (non-shift) in this game and see that they do not care about what their playerbase wants in regards to reworks and a fresh meta. It has been the same things for years. they are putting bandaids on a toothpick bridge. It will work in the immediate.... but they should focus more on what made the game great in the beginning and not neglect their iconic characters or continute to create ranged characters that are either too strong 1v1 or unplayable.... both of which they got tons of feedback on.... and seemingly ignored based on updates. I hold out hope, as I love the game... but they have comfortable corner on the market.... which has made them lazy and seemingly more focused on making instant money, despite having no plans for a follow on dbd project.

With the amount of FOMO stuff going on in dbd, i think the dev's know the game is going down. Wait times are insane for survivors at peak times (people home from work / school) because killers refuse to play, and it doesn't look like they will change it any time soon.

I am totally empathetic to that. My appeal was to not be overly negative. They obviously care about the game and interact with the community. Just because they haven't fulfilled what you (or anyone reporting or posting) may consider most important doesnt mean that saying statements like "devs dont care" is warranted. They are not trying to kill the game.

I was not defending things that are broken not being fixed, saying they should ignore them. I was simply trying to reduce toxic or negative posts and encourage that they do engage with the community and they are trying to fix things as evidenced through recent balancing, changes to characters (specifically killers) and their addons, perks, map updates, etc.

Remember they are a smaller company and a smaller dev team. This is not Activision with an army of devs that still regularly ignores players in light of their own plans. This is a smaller community relative to big games and voicing our frustrations constructively will net better results, I believe. Upsetting the playerbase or adding fuel to someone's fire does not help fix anything, and drives a wedge between devs and community.

This is a common problem in EVERY multiplayer online game. They layed out their roadmap and goals in the stream. If people want them to prioritize something else and they get an influx of those requests, do you think they will ignore it? I manage a development team and I can tell you they wont. even if it feels like that or they are slower.

Bottom line, stay true and be constructive... if it is too frustrating, then play other games while you wait to fix or incorporate other hobbies, but stay in the community because it needs strong positive ambassadors, not whiney streamers and brooding forum posts.

see above post response for more detail, but you misinterpret what I wrote. I was discouraging that type of response, not saying that is what people do more than give constructive feedback. The norm is generally on forums that there is a large amount of negativity, regardless of the game.

Could they be more transparent, sure. They have said many times that they are working to improve the game based on feedback. That is because developers work in cycles and many aspects of development rely on what was done in the previous cycle.

They do not have to be specific with updates on what they tried and did not work, you are not the product owner. You are the consumer. If you would like more transparency, then ask for it. My guess is that they or community embassadors will try to meet that need if they see a large number of requests.

They have to know what to give priority to and there are (example) 200 posts on twitter and forums asking for cosmetics and none that are easily found asking for more communication or clarity. They have to manage the expectations of lots of players, while recently implementing crossplay and now mobile. you can criticize the methodology behind expanding when their game was not addressed at its core. That is valid. It is always hard to balance games with this many characters and with a team their size, while adding content, cosmetics, reworking killers, maps, items, perks. They have a lot of different requests pulling them in different ways.

I am not saying that your feelings are not valid or that you dont have a point. I am appealing to people for less negative forum posts and if everyone that posted (some to get people to empathize and join their side) submitted feedback and gave honest, and contrite feedback with even potential solutions, that would be time better spent at making changes.

Did he play Killer?

A lot of people stream really old games that only have like 2 other people streaming them to gain dedicated viewers, then they switch to a popular game, bringing viewers with them.

I know of a few smaller streamers who have tried to branch out but their stream just dies if they play anything else. It's kind of sad to see as some of them do it full time but just don't enjoy the state of the game anymore.

There's a few streamers like Otz, Tru3, etc that had an audience before dbd and would continue to afterwards but very few dbd streamers break the thousand barrier.
