Dear Devs, communicate with us please.

You can already see the doomsayers calling loudly, what with McLean leaving and Stranger Things leaving the game.

Please, just this once: cards on the table what's going on.

    no. that's not an answer to 'why' that is just stating what will happen. a why-answer would be

    'Currently we are not in the position to renew the license'

    'Due to unforeseen developments we can't renew the license'

    i hope not. I know nda's are a pain in the rear, but at least something to clear up what happened to cause this should be within the boundaries

    Seriously this. Idk if they can't but this is the worst and ONLY answer they give.

    Because you don't need to know about it and it won't change the result: you can't buy Stranger things stuff after November 17.

    But it might change my investment-plans for the game. Because i dont know if it is a single event, or if it can happen to meyers, freddy, or nemesis or any future dlcs as well. And thus regards the health and intrest of the game, and thus has an effect on my gameplay experience.

    So, i might not need to know, but i have to make my decisions then based on what i belive to be more likly, it being a single incident, or the possibility of it happening again, and thus, it changes a lot of results, namly the money i might or might not be willing to put into the game in the future.

    In that case, let me assure you that it can happen with literally anything in the game, as per the EULA everyone agreed to.

  • And can you also tell me how likely that is? Might give your answer some substance.

    It's more likely with IPs that haven't been milked sufficiently (i.e.: newer IPs). Since Stranger Things was the most recent IP to ever be added to DbD, I'm guessing it's highly unlikely - but not impossible - that it'll happen again. However, killers can still be reworked from the ground up at any point, and that, I believe, is more likely for certain characters (specifically, the ones survivors complain about the most).

    That's the safe and allowed answer. people are right, they most likely aren't allowed to say why they're removing it.

    My guess is and it's only a guess, the license was only for so long and that time is up, To renew the license would be too expensive. Or they just don't want to do it.

    Actually, the proper answer is... We actually don't have more information related to the Stranger Thing DLC...

    Or... "we are unable to grant you an answer because that involves strict business information"... I think every CEO knows how to give a proper and polite answer instead of "read the FAQ"

    Mandy is just a community manager, she's not in charge of what information is given and what's not.

  • @GeneralV said:

    If they barely talk to us about minor changes, imagine talking to us about something as delicate as a license.

    It's two different things at the end of the day. I could understand if they're under an NDA or something like that or they just don't want to divulge the information from the contract.

    But their lack of transparency otherwise with their own content is really bs.

  • @miketheratguy said:

    A side question: When do the sales take effect in-game? I launched it an hour ago and not only are there no sales on any Stranger Things content, there's no in-game announcement of it either (there's also no notice about this on this forum's news page, where I think it would be worth making the comment). Anyway my point is that while I guess I need to re-read the release, I thought that the sales were effective immediately.

    The sale begins August 18th.

  • I did happen to catch that in another thread but all the same, thank you.
