The DLC should have been free.

Remember when we used to get free chapters? This would have been a perfect candidate for another free DLC.

  • The patch has obvious, glaring issues that were known before release
  • The Halloween event was a disaster
  • Christmas is coming up, and that's the season of giving
  • There are a bunch of DLC skins coming out that will make a lot of money anyway

Instead we got paid DLC with non-functional perks and a killer that can get stuck.

If at least the DLC had been free then maybe people wouldn't be as rightfully upset as they are now.

    I still remember their original business model: "We'll have some free and some paid original ideas, and then licensed chapters have to be paid." I think they took advantage of the three licensed chapters/paragraphs in a row with Leatherface/Freddy/Pig and decided everyone forgot about that model, and we've never seen a free chapter since.

    IIRC the devs did address this. If I'm not mistaken, they consider the iridescent shards and their ability to unlock original characters as a way to make every original character "free", in a sense.

    "yeah, you can get these chapters for free. It's just gonna take you 43 weeks each. Have fun!"

    Hate to say it, but even if this chapter was free I feel people would still nag about how bad it is (disregarding the bugs)

    Yes, they would have, but at least we couldn't accurately say "they expect us to pay for this broken DLC". Plus the update broke multiple other killers regardless of if you bought it or not, so there's really no positive outcome for them no matter how this patch came out, purely because it came out how it did. There's really not a way to avoid it except delaying the release, which they clearly weren't willing to do.
