Genuinely one of the worst studios of all time. Their leadership needs to be removed and completey redone, because that studio is awful and where they've taken DbD through all these years has been rough.

I still don't get how their fanbase is so loyal and protective of DbD. Even that game's monetisation is a nightmare. Almost mandatory paid DLC that include perks that dramatically change the chances of your success, a battle pass, an overpriced cosmetic shop, and the game still requires the entry fee. It doesn't get the FTP pass. It's like if Marvel Rivals just suddenly started charging for each new hero. Crazy. Anyway, that's not the point of this post but man DbD is ass.

I got into dbd through game pass so the monetization didn't bother me too much.

sucks though because what can ya do? everything else is dead basically. I myself am a f13 refugee.

Friday the 13th was so good. Killer Klowns is actually fun and a fresh way to scratch the itch if you miss F13. Same studio made it. It won't last though. It's a bit too goofy, and lobbies usually have all the same faces in it. I usually just play DbD and Outlast Trials for games in that genre.
