Well, it’s that time of year again: the time where DBD fans gather round and debate whether or not the game is dying. It’s not, of course, but the topic is still fun to discuss. So… let’s discuss it.

I‘m gonna quote a comment I found somewhere.
"This game dies three times a year"
For some reason watching you makes me wanna use the clown more 😅
The thing is that the game is way too grind-based. I just cant put in the time to unlock all the meta perks cuz i gotta go to work in the morning and i dont have 12 hours to grind MM over and over. Its so frustrating that i cant play with decent perks or the perks I wanna play with without playing for 100+ hours in one sitting.
I've heard stories of video games where people have literally went to each other's houses and attempted to kill them over the way they played. There was a case where a man was literally murdered in his home over $5 on CSGO I think it was??
Dead by Daylight is really fucking tame compared to some unhinged things I've seen coming from other games. For some reason though, this community is just so much more sensitive and vocal about it, so it seems as though the game is horribly toxic because that's the only thing people talk about.
I’ll always be an advocate for a Blair witch dlc
The "Toxicity " in this game is laughable compared to other games.
its not gonna die 🙁 I have only been in the community for a year
As a casual player, I do not see this game dying anytime soon.
Its dying for Killer, community aside playing killer recently has been the most unfun garbage ive played in while. Im sick of trying to pressure multiple people and getting punished cause one preson has circle of healing, im sick of outplaying survivors just for them to dead hard and benefit from failing and im sick of trying to play casually just to get forced to a horrible map because the surivvors wanted to abuse its flaws.
It would be nice if they soon add new status effects to open up the perk creativity
sppoknjukes is always doing shit like that
Game is kinda dead for me, and has been for a good while despite the fact i keep up with the news in it. Never enjoyed survivor gameplay but killer just got more and more stressful as I tried to do better
DBD is not dying in a while as long as there are no Good Competitors
Content Creators only ask if DbD is dying simply because they want to generate reactionary content that's also a hot button topic for the community. Anyone who genuinely believes that Dead by Daylight is dying really needs to rethink what a dying game actually is. In fact, there were a lot of worse points in DbD's history (Year 2 and Year 5 come to mind) than this year and the game survived perfectly intact through them too. Don't believe those who speak of doom when the facts don't even sound close to it
I'd honestly say DBD is a worse community than LoL by leaps and bounds. Prior to cross play I had never been told to kill myself or been called as many racial slurs as I had playing DBD. It's only eleviated now imo because console and PC players can't talk.
On the toxicity note,
As a trans furry I get a lot of hate on my profile, but that's more because any game is gonna have someone who will bash me for one of those things but that's a issue of people and not a DBD exclusive issue
I think if bhvr keeps releasing shitty chapters the game will die, but if they continue add banger chapters I’m sure the game still has plenty of years left in it.
I would slightly disagree about the bad content part. The Content of the last 2 chapters wasn’t all bad, but the by far most important part of a chapter is the new killer. A new killer (obviously) changes the way players can play the game. With new powers to use and fight off. The issue with dbd is that that’s the only new gameplay ever added. The game has essentially been the same for 6 years now and many dbd fans are people who have played for years now. The way dbd survives as a live service game is with new killers. Thanks to that if the game doesn’t bring out an at least competent killer every few months people get bored VERY FAST. In other words we basically haven’t had any actually meaningful content in 6 MONTHS now and the next chapter is another 3 months away, so we’ll basically have no new content in 9 months. That would be a game killing problem for normal games but gets even worse for dbd due to the lack of gameplay changes. This is something that BHVR should be criticized for and other good chapters that happened this year don’t change that. Failing to bring something new to you’re live Service Game in 9 MONTHS is in every way embarrassing. Not to forget that BHVR is happily focusing on other stuff rather than this. That’s not to say that stuff like „Meat you’re maker“ or dbd mobile are bad, however it does speak volumes about what the company is actually interested in. With other gaming companies if one of they’re games is suffering a whole lot the last thing they do is start new projects. They fix they’re game first! With BHVR they made a new game, a mobile version of dbd and have made a deal to have a dbd movie made while dbd itself can’t keep its shit together for 2 chapters before dying for the next 9 months and something like this shouldn’t be a thing after over 7 years of working on dbd. Sure the game is slowly improving but it’s improving so slowly you sometimes can’t see it happening at all. The Killers they make still range from great to twins, the maps they make have honestly gotten worse! The perks they make still range from useful to detrimental, the monetization of the game has gotten worse with every year and I can’t think of anything that’s improved there. Addon kits still range from a mix of good and decent to pyramid head and survivor design still ranges from interesting backstory and cool looks to that one terrorist from
The „Painting of a Murder“ Chapter. Hell the lore still ranges from Great to the latest chapter (Skull Merchant). All of this after close to a decade of development has made me mostly stop playing dbd. It’s not going anywhere and I’ve sadly outgrown the game.
Altho maybe I’m just wrong about everything and dbd is the BEST game every released. Oh well!
Well about tunnel and genrush it isn't fun because you don't have time to play and have fun and improve because you're out of the game quickly and this defenetely have to be reduce maybe by modifying gen but me too I don't Dbd is dying especially with a movie to bring back people on the game
I think SOMETHING needs to be done about 3 gens, for me it’s boring as killer and it’s boring as survivor, either a perk or a game mechanic.
thank you very much for this. as a new community member who joined 2 days after knight released, I've been worried that I just joined a game that was about to implode. knowing this is normal is very comforting!
Right on the nail.
Little thing Renato is more of an italian name so just read it how you see it. Ofc since he's brazilian it might be pronounced differently
It’s not that people don’t like the new chapters it’s the game design Flopsy for the killers that people don’t like, I think Knight is awesome killer I’ve always wanted a Knight but his power doesn’t correlate to a Knight Killer, Skull merchant was a complete bamboozle cuz we expected a Cyborg killer another concept I’ve always wanted but “Character designed to sell more cosmetics” but they both support oppressive 3 Genning which makes the game both slow & unfun, I don’t think it’s fun to walk back & forth as a killer & I don’t think it’s fun for the survivors either, I’m a Avid GF main cuz I love how much I feel like it’s fun for both sides when u face a killer like that, it’s exciting & tense for both sides, I wish we could go back to killers like Blight, a good killer wit high skill ceiling & a fun challenge for survivors to face, but holding a game hostage isn’t fun for anyone, this community is so “Toxic” cuz we’ve all been playing for Years & they make so much money off the player base but it feels like they don’t invest it into making a All around Better game. I wish nothing but the best for BHVR & DBD It kills me to see so many people say this game is dying but I understand why the community feels the way it does, both for the killer & Survivor mains.
They did make cheating much harder. You essentially have to pay now if you want to cheat. Where as last year until dredge update, you could follow a tutorial and cheat for free. Unless you’re knowledgeable enough to write the software hackers are using to bypass cheat detection, you have to pay a rather expensive subscription. Don’t ask how I know 😳
Nice facts, strong argument but its a good video
Ngl spooks should be one of the last people to talk about toxic community
I would say the past 2 chapters have been alright the skill merchant has grown on me and the knight is so fun
Dude plays "toxic" and reviews "toxic" streamers… it's not much of a shock he sees toxicity in the game.
The biggest problem is that not only are survivors toxic, but killers are also toxic and half the maps are one sided. Along with horrible killers coming out and the community just complaining 24/7. Dredge is having a feast
Edit: another thing is that survivors seem to have a bigger hold over the community than the killers, a lot of killer perks that didn’t need a nerf like eruption that got nerfed
This game isn't gonna die
Give it 5 years the most if no other game rises up to compete
Bro if FNAF gets in dead by daylight a shit ton of 12 year olds and 15 year old tik tok girls will start playing dead by daylight and then behavior will have to start making dead by daylight fun for them specifically
The content since Project W hasn't been great. No licenses means no interest at least for me. Doesn't help that the new killers are obnoxious to play against. Changes that should have been made 6 years ago still aren't coming.
The DDOS thing, the bad chapters, and the "toxicity" isn't great but it's not anything that looks that much different from other games. DBD is in a rough patch I think but not dying by any means. People are still playing.
This is a nice point of view! New subscriber here!!
Nope!

God about time someone says this. Whenever someone says the Dev’s don’t care….do you know how hard it is to make music, voice lines, and character models? Let alone power AND map reworks. It takes so much time to do this and the glitches are few. Unlike someone like Twins or Nemisis (Who literally made it impossible for console players to play the game)
I finally found someone who finally realizes that DBD's community is not as toxic as people make it out to be. Yeah it has its bad apples, but oh god, as a former League player, its almost nothing. I only face toxic dbd players here and there, not too often. And I can even remember many times where I found friendly survivors/killers, kind exchanges in post game chat, making new friends, and so much more. Of the years I've played dbd, the worst I've seen typed was just obnoxious banter. I don't even have to worry about messing up in dbd. there were many times in League where I felt so much pressure and anxiety for messing up, because I could always guarantee I would be flamed to the end of time by my team mates if I did. I don't feel this stress in dbd.
This game for sure is gonna be dead in 5 or less years😂
You lost me @0:30 seconds in. Come up with my own views based on my own experience and feelings ? No thanks, I'm more of the repeat whatever the loudest opinion I hear kinda person
(im the most reasonable dbd player).
This game is 7 years old, I'm more surprised that it's still going
