Let me check

1st time that I could recall that they said they weren't going to do a license to killer.
 Then they released Freddie

2nd 
 What happened did not releasing a clown

OK now don't get me wrong theory I actually kind of like the look at this guy. Hes a depressed clown has they usually are.

 However is still hurts that I've been lied to

 OK I'm gonna have to edit this given the fact that people keep thinking that I'm upset about this.  To be perfectly honest with you I knew this is gonna happen one day... Just didn't think it was going to be to day.

I guess when it comes down to the whole not telling the truth bit. I'm a little taken back that they were go against their own word. If you say you're not going to do something then don't do it.

As for the clown we currently possess I quite enjoyed the gameplay.  Not to mention how quickly the  Steam discussions are tearing themselves apart.

    1. Learn how to speak proper English please.
    2. Does it matter what they tell you? It’s their game, they can decide what kind of DLCs they want to add or whatever.

    I personally hate the fact that they said never, and they respectfully said due to phobias they wouldnt, instead they went back on their word and did it, my issue is some people cant handle these things, if they added a spider killer I’d be scared fully, deathly afraid of them, but OP has a valid opinion they did lie, it is their game but if everyone quits due to their irrational fears they dont have a game.

    I understand the frustration, and I agree at least on the Clown and potentially other killers whom might have a phobia associated with them.

    So you are upset because the devs didn't want to spoil who the next killer will be

    ummm... isn't DBD a horror game?
    Isn't it a little backwards to be playing a horror game if you have phobias?

    So, they weren't going to make a clown because people have a clown phobia?
    This is a horror game right? Isn't that the point?

    So, did they actually definitely say they wouldn't be doing a clown killer?

    Receipts, please!

    They said it in a stream, I think. I'm pretty sure that was to throw everyone off the scent, though. They had to have been working on this since the Pig's release.

    I'm severely arachnophobic and I prefer not to look at spiders, however if a game has them I just move past them as quick as possible.

    If people have phobias of a clown or a killer, then this game is not for them, respectfully.

    You can't expect a developer to adjust their game for every single person out there with a phobia. It's unrealistic.

    Things change and fears of basically everything exist. Such as the fear of doctors and yet we have the Doctor. There is honestly no way to cater to everyone. I'm quite happy they change their stance on having a clown Killer because I quite like having him.

    Not necessarily mad. I actually enjoy the clown I'm just a little taken back  They said they wouldn't and completely  Went against it. I also asked for my use of the English language I'm doing all of this on a phone mind you. Not exactly going to slide all of this through grammarly

    If they don't put out a press release stating we won't do this then you have to assume they're trying to be secretive about what they have planned just like very other game company out there. There's only 2 or 3 game companies out there that you totally can't trust even when they put a press release out.

    After this I decided to look into phobias.

    Here’s what I found.

    In the Vox poll - which involved 1,999 Americans and was conducted from 15-17 October this year - 42 percent of people surveyed said they were, in some way, afraid of clowns.Oct 25, 2016


    According to the American Psychiatric Association, phobias affect more than one in ten people in the US, and of those individuals, up to 40% of phobias are related to bugs (including spiders), mice, snake and bats. There are clearly a lot of arachnophobes. But do they know why they fear spiders?May 20, 2015


    while fear of doctors 
    David Yusko, clinical director at the University of Pennsylvania's Center for the Treatment and Study of Anxiety, treats patients with iatrophobia – the medical name for fear of doctors. He says the phobia probably affects about 3 percent of the population.


    Therefore research would point they didn’t cater for doctor fears because 3% and honestly most are more afraid of doctors because of needles rather than the doctor themselves. (In some websites I found it was 3 up to 10%)


    So to cater to 40%  isn’t catering it’s more respecting in my opinion.


    If over 40% of a population has an issue it’s best to respect it and move on from it, do it makes more sense to honor it because it’s not a tiny percentage like a doctor  at 3, it’s actually a really large percentage.

    Ok so how many people of that 40% play this game currently or were interested in getting it? For all we know there could be more people frome that  3% who were interested or played in this game. Before the movie IT came out I saw it advertised on tv and the internet should they not have done that because 40% of people are afraid of clowns

    The main issue was IT the team never said no on phobias and clowns, and Behavior studios decided to do it despite in streams and questions they said no.
