Ok so we got one answer why Slenderman is not ingame

Its because him interacting physically with people is against his lore.


Not gonna, lie kinda confused since does he in some media hold hands with children?

Plus he can just use his Tentacles to pick up or grab survivors and just carry them on his back like Pin head.


Overall.......not the reason why he is not ingame I was expecting.


Not even mad just confused and sorta shocked.

    Exactly the reason I am very confused. No canon background of him and in some versions he does interact and touch people........its very odd.

    Just my opinion: Slenderman wouldn't work because the character is traditionally unnaturally tall and preys exclusively on children, because as popular as he is he's nonetheless just some random character that was made up by some random person on a cheesy horror fiction site.

    Know what else no canon background means? Licencing nightmares! Original creators can claim copyright infringement over the designs, calling the character Slenderman gets a claim from Blumhouse, but calling it Slender gets one from the game maker, it's a minefield of potential lawsuits and would be a very risky addition for a character where original would be better since there's absolutely zero power that can be gleaned from the non-existent canon

    I respect your opinion but can you maybe not try mention last part.....anytime someone does in Slenderman threads it takes a 180 turn and thread turns wacked.

    Well....sorta.

    Its actually owned by Sony and/or Eric the creator.

    Sony owns the Media rights so if someone wants to use him in a video game or something they gotta speak with Sony.

    Quite possible we can get the Video game version though.

    But, like, it's a massive part of the stigma surrounding the character? How can someone not bring it up when it's what a lot of minds default to

    True, but from the drawings and other stuff I've seen Slenderman is supposed to be like fifteen feet or something like that. I guess it depends on the person interpreting the character, he's supposed to change forms or something.
