Dead by Daylight: Stranger Things Chapter Review (BarnesFlam)
Following 2022's winter event, the devs have made the decision to remove old cosmetics collections that were made available to buy/unlock all year and release them again next year as part of a new "time-limited seaonal content". This is very awful to see a company that has a tight connection with its community suddenly decides to piss in their hand and in their mouth.
The sudden use of scummy tactics that apply a mental pressure on the consumer into giving up and buying rather than facing "Fear Of Missing Out" isn't justified because "eVeRY GaMe AlReAdY DoEs It". Scummy is scummy, it deserves callout.
People accepting those changes and the future direction of this game is headed to should look at the chinese mobile version of Dead by Daylight: Lootboxes, way more linked set than outfits, temporary and monthly banners alike gacha... Yeah, the future sucks, huh?
This game holds a very special place in my heart and seeing it suddenly trying to become a former shell of itself is terryfying.
I have since decided that I will not buy any future cosmetic in-game until that policy is reversed. I will also stop recommending this game to people no matter the amount of work devs put into Dead by Daylight, as I do not wish my friends to fail victim to such BS marketing tactics.
The characters included in this DLC have comsetics part of a time-limited collection.
Say no to FOMO, simply.
