They finally added FNAF to Dead by Daylight!
A robot killer whose power is setting up surveillance cameras and using them to jumpscare survivors out of nowhere! They even included the backstory where he got set on fire but came back! Great job BHVR, this is a great translation of FNAF's mechanics into the style of Dead by Daylight!
Freddy Fazbear looks kind of weird though, I'm not sure he looks like a bear at all, and I have no idea who this Gabriel guy is. Is he from the upcoming movie?

Can't believe they added FNAF into dbd, uninstalling.
See you in two weeks

As much as I wish this would satisfy the fnafers, I know better... sigh.
The next killer is definitely Springtrap, for sure this time guys, all the signs are there!

Finally, I will never understand the unjustified hatred towards the FNAF fanbase.

You weren't here for the spam when people thought it was either FNAF or Hellraiser.
9 -
My personal disdain for the franchise aside the fans themselves were insufferable. There was a time when they came here to spam threads about it.
I really hope they don't do something that dumb. Especially after calling the two coming licenses huge with a capital L.

Stranger Things fans are also spamming everywhere that they want their chapter back, yet I don't think anyone has ever complained about it.
Considering that FNAF has been in demand since the beginning of dbd and that Stranger Things isn't even horror, premising that breaking balls is wrong whether you are a fan of FNAF, Stranger things or any other brand, I don't understand why people complain about fans of FNAF who (rightfully) want a chapter on dbd, while those of Stranger Things can complain and that's fine.
As I've also said before, I don't remember if it was you who told me, FNAF fans in no way spoiled the Hellriser release on dbd, I had hype even though I've never seen a Hellriser movie. I say this because people are saying that FNAF fans "ruined the announcement and launch of Hellriser on dbd", which is absolutely not true considering that Pinhead is one of dbd's most loved (and successful) killers currently

Springtrap would look great in dbd, whether you like FNAF or not it's undeniable how great Sprintrap would look in dbd (and don't tell me he's a robot rabbit because we have a pink elephant skin for the Clown and rabbits for Legion, which are from Silent hill but still they are rabbits).
Maybe you don't know the lore of Springtrap and that's why you don't see how well it would look on dbd, and no I won't tell you the lore of Sprintrap because I doubt the characters are enough for how long it is.
As I also told Pulsar, Stranger Things fans also spam everywhere that they want Stranger Things back on dbd, but they are fine while FNAF fans are not? No offense to Stranger Things fans, but spamming isn't good even if it's for Jason or Alien, who are very heavy icons

Like I said, if you don't know the difference, you clearly weren't around. It was everywhere and it was insufferable. I don't see twenty threads a day saying the next Chapter is ST or attacking people for thinking it's something different.
Stranger Things, at least S1, is pretty decently horror. The rest of the show is more horror-adjacent and certainly horror-inspired. FNAF is, at it's core, a game for children and full of jumpscares. You can say, "Oh, but the lore is dark." Plenty of kids shows have dark lore, that doesn't mean they aren't for kids.
The fans DID ruin the Hellraiser announcement because of the teaser. If you even dared to think it was Hellraiser, since ya know, it came out in 1987; oh boy, you did not get out of that unscathed. It was vicious, tons of people got banned here and I think the Reddit banned any mention of FNAF for a long time because of it. FNAF does not have a good rep in the community after that fiasco.
That's not even getting into the IRL stuff, which is why I really don't want it. Like yeah, the fans are ######### and a lot of them are kids. I could get over that part, everyone is a cringy kid at some point, but the IRL stuff is just not something I can give the benefit of the doubt about.

I won't see posts on the forum, and luckily also, but seeing every spam Instagram comment from Stranger things is annoying. You probably know why you don't see 30+ posts wanting stranger things? Because they learned their lesson. They saw that FNAF fans were banned one after another, so they rightly say "I'm not stupid" and don't write it here on the forum.
I saw the first season of stranger things then I stopped because I don't like it, and I tell you it seemed anything but horror. As I will always say, Springtrap would look better on dbd than FNAF. FNAF may have also had some "cheap jump scares" but still had an undeniable success. Also, add that FNAF Security Breach is anything but Jumpscare (not to mention anxiety-inducing parts like the Endoskeletons and Moon's).
Well, I'll tell you, in a teaser I would have put anything but a release date considering the fact that the first part of the FNAF storyline was all based on the "Bite of the '87". From this point of view it can be said that the devs have done their part to unleash the uproar. Having said that, I'm absolutely not condoning any kind of toxic behavior, also because it's unjustifiable, isn't it? I don't remember if I've said this before, but in case I repeat myself, I haven't seen Hellriser so I don't know if 1987 is an important year in Hellriser history. And as I said, even though FNAF fans "ruined" the teaser, people were still hyped for Pinhead. I still don't see the point in saying "They screwed up Hellriser". Sorry but I'm not seeing it.
If you mean only by the fact that they said "it's necessarily FNAF not other stuff", I reiterate a part of "fault" (as I already said, I don't justify toxic behavior in any way and I put "fault" in quotes since it's not a fault actual) is from the devs who put a date in the trailer, probably ignoring the fact that, as I already said, the first part of the FNAF plot and lore was all based on the "Bite of the '87".
Also, as a last thing, I would add that dbd is full of children, like any game. It's not that because it's PEGI 18 then no kids aren't going to play it. So why do we complain about kids when they are already playing dbd? Also, you can't know who you're facing, you don't know who they are in real life.

Hellraiser came out in 1987, so yeah, it's a significant year. BHRV clearly didn't expect the rabid FNAF fandom to do what they do best, come up with wild theories and attack people who dare to disagree. People were hyped for Pinhead, once he was revealed. Then the NFT debacle happened.
There were never 30+ posts about ST, even when it was getting removed.
It'd be like adding Winnie the Pooh because he has a single "horror" movie about him. He's still a character that is made for kids.
1 -
I repeat, they didn't because they saw what happened to FNAF fans. They do it on Instagram for the simple fact that they can do it there and nobody bans them.
I meant a date in the plot. The storyline of FNAF is half based on the 1987. So it's normal for the fans to think that. Of course, if they've been behaving in a toxic way, there's nothing you can do about it. It was done. It's sad, but hey every community has its toxic part that wakes up in these moments.
"BHRV clearly didn't expect the rabid FNAF fandom to do what they do best, come up with wild theories and attack people who dare to disagree."
Bro, you look like a lot of a FNAF hater to me. It seems to me that you insult the fandom a lot by generalizing. I don't want to assume anything, mind you, but it seems like a lot. That they do a lot of theories is true, for the simple fact that some pieces of lore have yet to be explained and clarified. In what sense "Attack people who disagree"? Since you say they were quite toxic, I guess insulting heavily right?

You know that how exactly? You have access to the ST Fandom hivemind?
There were leaks and one of the foreign files for the teaser was literally named Hellraiser. FNAF fans were coping and spamming everything because they didn't get what they wanted. It being FNAF was never a question after the teaser released.
Oh, no, I do despise FNAF after the ######### I saw from people during that time period and after what I learned about the creator.
That's why I don't think BHVR will ever add it. They've shown tremendous support for the LGBTQ community in the past, adding FNAF would be a massive slap in the face, as it would prove they really are morally bankrupt (as if the NFTs didn't already tip people off)
2 -
Nobody posts about ST here because they know the problem is a legal one that BHVR has no control over. I forget where, but Cote said something about him trying to reach out to Netflix multiple times about ST licensing and they won't even talk to him.
It sucks that ST is no longer for sale, but there is absolutely nothing BHVR can do about that, and fandoms with more than 5 collective brain cells between them know that whining on forums about it won't change anything; if they want to pester someone, they need to pester Netflix.
2 -
The legal thing came up recently, before this all social were full of people spamming "Bring back stranger things" and something like this. Now it seems that ST fans calmed down, finally
0 -
It wasn't recent. It was clear from the outset that it was being removed because Netflix wouldn't renew the agreement. People on the forums have generally posted positive things about ST and the nostalgia of the map, wishing it could come back, etc., but not flaming other people who tell them ST isn't coming back.
That's the difference -- the FNAF fanbase was rabidly attacking other forum members for having the gall to tell them the Hellraiser chapter wasn't a FNAF chapter.

FNAF in DBD would be a huge win for the game. The thought of being able to run around Freddy Fazbear's Pizza shop with random animatronic jump scares is exciting.
0 -
Oh, it's actually quite easy to explain.
The FNAF fanbse is basically in the same situation than the Harry Potter fanabse: Y'all need to move on, for the good of everyone, but you don't want to.
2 -
Dumb? It's Five Nights at Freddy's lmao, it is popular with a LOT of people on the internet. If BHVR did a chapter off of it, they would be printing so much money lol.
1 -
I remember they flooded BHVRs social media posts after Pinhead was announced, saying BHVR purposely led them on and was intentionally making the hints seem like FNAF. When the clues all perfectly fit for Hellraiser, including a literal scene from the movie and its date of release (1987). They ignored the scene and only focused on the date, then tried to claim they were misled.
1 -
Except in the DBD hints, '1987' was attached to a clip of a literal scene from Hellraiser. It's not hard to realise 'oh, it's a scene from an iconic horror movie that got released in 1987, that makes more sense than it being FNAF'. And yet they were attacking everyone who tried pointing this out.
1 -
I wasn't on the forum, so I didn't saw anything of this. I haven't seen Hellriser, I didn't even know that the teaser was a scene from the film. As I said, I don't justify toxic behaviours from anyone. It's sad that this happened
0 -
Oh trust me I was being completely sarcastic. I actively don't want to see fnaf in DBD.

There are occasional threads hoping for a ST return. Not half the main page plastered with repeated threads form the same 4 people. Add to this ST was already part of the game and the two things are massively different.
As for how great you think it would look, I don't really care. It's a subpar franchise based on cheap jump scares. It may eventually make It's way into DbD but it certainly doesn't belong here.
One can hope it will never happen.
1 -
It's also very unpopular with the current players base. The number of players they lose could easily dwarf the ones gained.
1 -
There is no situation. Harry Potter fans just want to play a fun Harry Potter game. FNAF fans just want to play FNAF games. That is the only thing that matters. If done well, a FNAF chapter would probably be the biggest DBD chapter ever. I think it could potentially even top the first RE chapter.
2 -
I was. People hated the idea of FNAF in DBD WAY before that. Literally any post of Fnaf here on the subreddit was bashed long before Hellraiser.
If this were the reason, everyone would be just as pissed with the idea of Candyman, who’s fans were even more obnoxious during a similar period.
The real reason people hate on it is because it was everywhere and popular with kids so it become cool to hate on it, like Fortnite and Minecraft.
0 -
That is the only thing that matters to you and anyone else who chooses to ignore the toxicity of the creators of the franchises.
You (and they) don't speak for me or anyone else who does care.
