Give Killer the Ability to Open the Exit Gate at any time and Escape
But if the killer escapes, he gives everyone else 10k BP and loses a pip.
This prevents all instances of taking the game hostage.

Won't the Survivors depip as well? Or at the very least waste add-ons?

Intentional de-ranking already exists, I get 5 deranking killers every night. AFK, m1 swings with a macro the entire game.
No need to make it harder for people, they are doing it already anyway, and this way we can get rid of all the complaints killers have about being held hostage (which is as dumb as it sounds).
Survivors don't waste add-ons like killers. Wasting an offering is no big deal, not like there are any good offerings anyway for Survivors.
If it bothers you Survivors get a black pip automatically.
To be honest similar things should happen in a killer game. If a survivor DC's killers should get a black pip. I'm totally down for that.

Wouldnt it be easier to just add those conditions and consequences to the forfeit/Leave button in the pause menu than adding it into the trial itself?
Savvy groups of friends might start that "totally 4 randoms"-lobby hopping again to get some quick BP.
And in legitemate situations...
This is extortion and doesnt solve a hostage situation the kiler would be the victim in. Also applies for switched roles.

I like the spirit behind this idea, but i think giving the 10k bps to survivors would become heavily abused. It might cause survivors to take the game hostage more often to try to force the killer to leave so they can score that bonus.
I think some sort of stipulation is required: ie no scoring events for the killer (or any player) have occurred in 3 minutes, the killer can leave. Maybe more specific like no gen progress + no hits in a certain time frame.
Either way, when the killer leaves, i’d say bloodpoints earnings stay where they are at the time and all players get a black pip. Also, items, add-ons, and offerings (including those found in chests during this match) are returned to all players, but are grayed out for the duration of 2 matches. (If your toolbox is grayed out, for example, you can still use the same type of toolbox if you have another one, but one of them from your inventory stack will be unusable until you’ve played 2 matches.) The reason behind this is to prevent killers from leaving just to save add-ons. Same for survivors trying to force killers to leave. (Yes they could save their items by leaving on their own, but this would punish toxicity to some extent if they are forcing a killer-quit).

You say that it's dumb, but i've been stuck in a game for an hour with... 2 survivors? Yeah 2. They both just hid and moved enough to not go AFK. Having the game taken hostage DOES happen. Luckily for me, I like to read so I just waited the hour with a book.
I will not reward such behavior with 10k BPs and am shocked that you would want to.
