I want to know why the community feels a certain way about the game, and which reason you have for still investing time into this game. All results are valid, and I will not judge depending on which answer you give me.
(Unless the answer is raunchy or unnecessary, in which case, I reserve all right to judge you.)
Addendum: I will clarify option 5 a little. I don't just mean the literal "Power" of every Killer, I also mean the feeling you get when you play a dominating role, that rush of excitement and power you feel from playing the side that takes others down.

Honestly, because it's pretty easy to suck me into a loop where I keep trying to unlock the unlockables.

It is. It's unfortunate that many of the unlockables have to be locked behind paywalls. Would've liked the Trickster weapon from the Cut Thru U set, but guess that'll never happen for some reason.

Because of the Characters
This is the exact reason I can’t leave. I just love some of the characters too much that if I leave the game, I leave them too.

I'm a completionist, So I mainly play the game for the Rift, to finish achievements, and to finish getting the rest of my characters to P3-50 with all perks.

I do not deny it. Because this game is the only crossover where I can play Myers, Freddy, Bubba, GF and now Pinhead like he's in a movie.

Well, bud, the CIA (probably) uses this game as an interrogation tactic, so you're not the only one being tortured.

I'm not afraid to admit that I genuinely find the game fun, albeit a bit miserable at times.

Because there isn't a better game. This game makes me miserable pretty frequently but its the only one of its kind, so im kinda forced to play it if i want to enjoy my favorite genre.

It's definitely unfortunate that there's no other game (that's readily available and has a widespread community) like this, but I'd probably keep that chin up. You never know who's coming up with a game in the same genre.

ALL OF THOSE AND MORE! IT'S ONE OF MY FAVORITES AND I LOVE SEEING IT GROW! NEW KILLERS CONSTANTLY BEING ADDED WITH NEW MAPS AND SURVIVORS! THERE ARE SO MANY KILLERS TO BRING IN. I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS! MAYBE SOME CHUCKY?? LEPRECHAUN? OR THE CREEPER FROM JEEPERS CREEPERS? DEAD SPACE? A BOOGEYMAN, NOSFERATU OR DRACULA, A WEREWOLF, A MINOTAUR, MEDUSA, THE MINER FROM MY BLOODY VALENTINE, THE OMEN OR POSSESSED CHILD LIKE THE EXORCIST, ANY SCPS, SWEENEY TODD OR JACK THE RIPPER. THE LIST JUST KEEPS GOING!!0 -
Because I Paid for My Entertainment
Mixed feelings.
I spent a lot of money on this game because i enjoy playing, although the game is not perfect and I'm not always happy.
In this genre, there is no game that compares to Dead by daylight. happy but not 100% satisfied.

At least you're honest about your sins.
This is honestly my feeling, but I had a far better experience with one other game that didn't have much developer support from the main guys at Capcom. Unfortunately, I came over to DbD long after the whole Resistance game died.
And when I came in compared to now, it's 100% not satisfactory (especially with how they made pallets too OP against Killers), but until someone makes a game to compete with it in a better way, I paid for it, and I'm paying for it.

Because I Paid for My Entertainment
You played Resistance?
I really wanted this game but i discovered it too late when it got removed from Steam. every game with a similar idea to DBD doesn't survive long sadly.
Also i heard about Re:verse but I'm pretty disappointed.
0 -
Resistance was never pulled from Steam.
It was just never ON Steam to begin with because RE3R was tied to it. It came with RE3R, so.

Because I'm a glutton for punishment and being disappointed. Second choice: Licensed Characters.

I play because I genuinely have fun most of the time. The story and characters may have been my initial draw to the game, but I stayed because I have fun.

I am not playing DBD anymore, but, right before I left, I was playing exclusively because of my eternal love for what this game once was.

I sometimes wonder this myself.
I don't know anymore.
I mean, it's the first game I have ever invested time in, watching videos, trying to learn and improve.
I still get absolutely rinsed if the killer finds me out in the open and I don't know how to chain tiles, so I still have a lot to learn. I think that's what keeps me going.

Like many here have stated, I'd have to say a combination of them all, really.
But if I was to be brutally honest, it'd be undoubtedly because I inadvertently like to torture myself. Because this community can be a hellhole lol :D

I think I just hate people so simulating maiming and murdering them and generally making them feel miserable and hopeless gives me a strange sense of glee. In fact the thing that makes me the absolute happiest in this game is when people disconnect; to be honest I'd sooner see a player disconnect than get sacrificed.

Go play Call of Duty, Street Fighter, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate or something if you like camping.

Because of the Licensed Characters
Licensed characters are a big part of why I enjoy DBD but I began playing in 2016 when there were no licensed characters I had no idea what DBD would build into. Today I play in great anticipation and excitement of what the next licensed killer will be, but in general I love the gameplay loop. I love to play as a powerful killer showing who's the boss, and I also love escaping from a powerful killer, showing who's the more clever one. There is something magical about the game that you cannot find anywhere else.
Oh, and also because I freaking love horror! I only wish DBD would step up their graphics, lighting, sound effects, music, and make the game really scary. I want BHVR to really make me jump from my chair when the killer ambushes from a corner. Make the environment look gruesome and horrifying. But that does not seem to be something BHVR is interested in, what a shame.
