Here's how we can add American Horror Story to DBD

So as you know Nicolas Cage, an actor from real life, is coming to dbd.

And if you don't already know, American Horror Story is notorious for casting the same cast of actors as new characters every season. So this gave me an idea.

This is how American Horror Story could come to dbd...

You get the likeness for 3 actors. The golden trio of American Horror Story. Jessica Lange, Sarah Paulson and Evan Peters. After that you can instead focus on original chapters or other licensed for a while. You could in collections, giving these survivors skins for their characters from each season.

Problem here already with your suggestion is that the likeness for those actors and the characters those 3 actors play are two completely different and seperate licenses.

If they're getting an actor as a character into the game, they're not gonna add any of the clothing the actors wore as their characters since they don't own those and any studios involved ain't gonna suddenly be included within the contract that was already established between bhvr and the actors themselves, just like how they can't just give an actor's Survivor a bunch of cosmetic collections from a different IP later on that isn't within the contract between bhvr and the actor only.

Same deal with Nicolas Cage, you will only see original outfits from him and nothing from any of his movies since he doesn't own those and they can't just suddenly include another company in the contract to suddenly give him clothing from his movies.

So if we're gonna get American Horror Story in dbd, the contract must be made between all 3 parties within same deal, it cannot be acquired seperately first and then included in some future dlc without an entirely new contract seperate from the original one.
