To me, cons would outweigh pros.
It'd take a while, but they'd come.

I would support that especially with all the profits they probably get from DLC and cosmetics... but at the same time... the game isn't terribly expensive as it is.
Yes but the profits from the DLC and cosmetics help pay for more hirings which helps them produce a better product and now dedicated servers. If they go FTP they'd have to go PTW like most of the other games out here where it's all about buying stuff that helps you skip ahead.
No.
Hell no.
No.
No. We don't need ban evasion
At the expense of everything else becoming more expensive?
No.
But if it helps the game grow then maybe./=
I like the BP idea 😂popoles said:I can see it:
Buy 2 000 000 BP to spend on your characters!
Buy our loot boxes that contain a part of an outfit or a random teachable!
Most definitely not.

No. The game can be hard enough for solo survivor as it is.I'd hate to be thrown in with more casual players and have my team wiped out in 10 seconds. At least when they buy the game there's some form of investment to give them a reason to get better.
That in addition that it will increase hackers and cheaters since there are no consequences since the game is free and you can just create another account.
Hell no, considering how many cheaters there are during free periods already and how awful the community can be F2P would kill this game

Personally, I could see pros and cons to either side. I just wanna hear what you guys think.
All killer content should be free.
Why should anybody pay to be the entertainer for their true costumer?
No, the game isn't even that expensive compared to other games and the cosmetic store and DLC's are fine in terms of pricing.
The "Free Weekends" are good enough for the taste of the game
No.

Why would this game go F2P? It already has a F2P model but you have to pay for the game.
It wouldn't for any game that has been a paid version from the start be fair for those who purchased it, if it went free to play, even if that's what would make the game in question "survive". But generally people would probably rather want that the game in question "survives" rather than it "dies".
Personally, I'd rather that the game remained pay to play, especially because when a game goes free to play after having been pay to play, the free to play model is for the most part also going to continuously affect those who've paid for it, but obviously this definitely depends on the free to play model. I'm personally not a fan of the free to play model, as I'd personally rather pay than to have some free to play model forced down upon me. Don't expect that if it wen't free to play that they'd be able to actually keep it going by charging for cosmetics and various dlc's only.
No .. you think its toxic now? Now imagine a bunch of people who didnt give a crud to pay for it. Not to mention the inevitable micro-transaction hell to keep up with costs. No I dont want it to be f2p.
Only game that should go free to play now is F13 the game, loved that game so much until I realized they can't fix it and they can't add more content. That studio legit broke my heart, seeing one of my favorite horror icons become a punching bag. It hurt me more than when BHVR nerfed Freddy
Also considering the move to dedicated servers, I don't think BHVR has the muscle to make it f2p. So I guess keeping the current business model would be a wise choice.
Honest answer, no. Not yet at least.
The game is still doing well. Growing, even. I don't think it needs it. There's not much to gain by doing so. Sure, you'd have more players, but you also open up the floodgates for anyone to make an alt account and start griefing or cheating.
I don't have a problem with free-to-play, I think it's great when a game that's past its prime get a second wind by going free. But Dead by Daylight still doing well, so it's not really necessary at the moment. I think waaaay down the line it might be a good fit. You could have a "free" version where you get a rotation of killers each week, and then have a standard edition that comes with all the currently (and future?) 'free' killers. I definitely it might be a good idea some day, just not any time soon.
No, money was well spent, got a game that gave me a story and something that i love. Gave me a character that i aspire to be in the future (Detective Tapp/Homicide Detective) and made wake up in the morning to continue playing it.

Cheap game.
Cheap DLC.
Expensive cosmetics but can "somewhat" reasonably be grinded for free.
Constant updates (for better or worst)
Still a growing company and not a "AAA" greedy gaming giant.
I'm happy to pay for it and support them.

This. Plus, the games price point isn't high. The basic game is 10 bucks. DLC are 6, or free if you want.
The company has never really been super into monetization.
That would have to change, if they went FTP. FTP can exist only because of microtransactions.
Free To Play = cheaters paradise
If devs lose their minds and open the gates to all the scum of earth (cheaters) I'm not buying any of their future titles that's guaranteed. If they do that they simply say a big ######### off to their player base.
Is this foreshadowing of a Necromancer killer?
Why the necro my guy?
No
..
Given that the playerbase has seen constant drop in 10 months now i dont see any other solution.
Nobody is spending 100 usd on this game.
