I said it on the original thread
This is sad, but it's also hilarious
Hilarious because NFTs are one of the dumbest things ever concieved by a human being and people actually spend money on them

I'm disappointed in BHVR for not objecting to this on moral grounds and turning down the license, but I'm reserving my real scorn and distaste for Park Ave, who seem to be the ones who actually orchestrated this.
Of course, if I turn out to be wrong about that, it'd be different.

I've lost trust in BHVR.
I might actually quit this game for good.
I am not mad, I'm just... Disappointed.

I've never wanted to stop my association with something so fast in my life. I'm in sheer disbelief at BHVR right now, for effectively deceiving their players and supporting NFTs.

I was transitioning back to Tales of Maj'Eyal and various Monster Hunter games anyway, though was loosely planning to see if my opinions changed with the new Archives.
Guess I have my answer already. Saved me a couple hours of matches.

This will definitely reduce the amount I play dbd, and I may consider quitting the game due to such.

Look, I understand that it was most likely a contract agreement that they had to make in order to get Hellraiser into the game(both the NFT itself and to say something positive about it) but, still, I sincerely wished that they could've looked at what Park Avenue was doing and simply said "no, we'll wait until Clive takes back the license". I get that they're still a company and, ultimately, everything comes back down to "how much money can we make" but this, THIS is just NOT the ok way to go about things.

Hard agree. This is where I land on the topic- they should've turned this down and that's what they should be criticised for.

Not happy, but I am not really someone who should point a finger, since I used to travel by plane a lot before COVID. So its not like I am a saint when it comes to the environmental health.

Exactly, not only this but, Steam has a ZERO tolerance policy on games that support NFT's so, this could already turn a normal sized mountain of a situation into a Mount Everest sized situation. This, just in general, was not ok to look at and say "yes" to because, ironically enough, looking at it from a business perspective, could make them end up LOSEING more money then actually gaining more.

I'm not indifferent, I'm not angry, I'm not confused, I find this all extremely believable, and I lost trust in BHVR a long time ago. I dislike this, I'm disappointed to be proven right, but this behaviour is expected of BHVR.

I'm surprised how many people lost trust in bhvr. Can't remember the last time I felt like they were an honest company in the first place.

I myself have only been playing here for almost a year now.
Before this, I thought that they were a wee bit greedy for money sometimes - but I guessed all games need to make money to keep going and DbD was no exception.
Also I thought that they weren't overly communicative on issues - but I guessed that they wanted to be concrete on everything before an announcement.
Honestly so many red flags, that I pushed aside because I love the game dearly and thought that "hey, not everyone's perfect mistakes happen. Right?"
It's terrifying to think, that if there had been a sale before the bombshell got dropped; I'd have brought the Pinhead chapter without knowing.
Thank god for small mercies...
And to clarify. Never buying anything unless it's with shards for a long damn time.

Time and time again, i gave my faith to BHVR. I told people i loved this game, i supported it through the battlepass and purchasing of DLC and cosmetics. I supported them through some of their biggest controversies, because deep down i ALWAYS felt like they were good people with good morals who were just trying their hardest to do the right thing without really knowing what the "right thing" was.
This whole NFT thing has destroyed that image for me. Completely shattered it. They were never trying to do the right thing, they aren't the "wholsome" devs i stupidly shoehorned myself into believing. They're scummy, like any other game company. They lied to us until it was convenient for them to finally tell us they let thousands of people (myself included) unknowingly fund an NFT scheme. I would never let a single cent of my money go towards an NFT scheme. And yet bhvr has made me feel incredibly guilty and disgusted by forcing my money into the grimey wallets of whatever hellspawn has decided to make these NFTs. I feel betrayed, after everything i've done to support the devs of a game i truly love they spat in my face and shattered one of my most important morals.

I don't believe this, I'm still trying to process it...
I just want this to be some kind of misunderstanding. I don't want to go completely to hating the developers, but I don't want to be naive and think that this will just all blow over. What I can say for sure is that there is a little pit in my chest and that I've stared at Dead by Daylight in my Steam library for two hours now and haven't hit "Play" like I often do.
I don't know if I'm doing a wrong thing if I'm playing their game, even if it's allowed me a place to unwind and escape to for these past ~thousand hours.

I hear ya. I would have totally bought pinhead if they hadn't already gone live with escape based matchmaking. I was pretty mad when they pushed it to the live build but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise as I can say I didn't support this disgusting "partnership" one bit.

I'm sad that they felt like they had to do this.
Five years of playing DBD, five years that I've stuck with BHVR through thick and thin, I've seen them make some pretty dumb decisions but this... this takes the cake.
I'll continue to play the game, mostly in honor of everything they've achieved up until this point and the good they've done with the game to bring original and licensed stories together in this cornucopia of horror-
But I won't look at BHVR the same way again. Which is what makes me really sad. That they've permanently tarnished their image and their reputation all in one fell swoop.
It's that whole "I'm not angry, just [incredibly] disappointed" sentiment which is going around the community. Rarely have I said this so sincerely and unironically:
"My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined."
