Why are the makers ruining the game?

They made a killer with the best abilities of three killers.. then offer extra points to survivors (because people now don’t want to play survivor) because every game is killer oriented with all three or four deaths each game. It is called balancing and data statistics. It is not difficult unless they want people to stop playing the game. Game started going downhill with the terrible matchmaking. Like they are tired of the game and just want it to fade away. Fix it or announce you are done with it.

    People are still buying skins. Doesn't sound like the game is ruined. Yet.

    BHVR’s #1 priority is player counts. They don’t care about game quality. Sure it would be a logical close 2nd since a totally crap game would implode and boom, no player counts. But they use incentives and gimmicks to bring around new players to replace the good ones that leave because the game is turning to garbage. They can’t sustain it though since the new players won’t stick around very long once they get tired of getting their asses pinged as solo survivor. I’m on the verge of exiting myself. I just need a replacement game to fill the void and haven’t found it yet…

    Bahahaha. They don't care about player counts. In the last 2 years they have failed to retain players gained from the highest peaks in DbD history. If they cared about player counts they would have better quality control, cheat detection and reinvest in the game to make it into a 200k average players/day juggernaut on Steam alone.

    They care about sales and profit margins. They do the bare minimum to keep the game playable while dropping their content every 3 months.

    They don't need to keep players playing. They just have to keep them buying.

    Uhhhh… you think the people buying stuff aren’t players? Like… people are just buying outfits and then going to play Stray… lol. Don’t disagree just to be disagreeable.

    What I said holds true. DbD caters to the casual.

    There are many different types of players.

    There are players who play every day. There are enough of this type of player that they don't need to worry about growing their steady player base. The game is not going to die.

    There are also many players who take long breaks or return for a week or two when a DLC drops or for the anniversary. They contribute to the peaks, pay for stuff but don't stick around. These are probably BHVR's favorite type of players.

    If you look at Steam Charts you can clearly see the player average has not significantly improved in 2 years despite having its highest peaks and being exposed to more players than ever before. Maybe they've experienced a bunch of growth on Epic and other platforms, we don't know.

    I'm not being a contrarian. I'd be much happier if they fixed the game and had a million players playing concurrently across the platforms and they were rolling in even more money. Instead they are happy leaving money on the table, doing the minimum and leaving the door open for a competitor to step up and do it better and take that player base.
