If the NFTs are a scam BHVR NEEDS to say something before someone spends money on it

I think that BHVR does has basic standard of protecting their consumers to uphold and publicly say they are not affiliated with these NFTs if they arent. Simply leaving this at no comment is just going to end badly with someone buying scam NFTs because of DBD. Is it really too much to ask for BHVR to just say its fake or confirm its real?

If they are real I aint happy but if they are fake I think BHVR like NEEDS to state they are fake to protect their customers from spending money on fakes. It will only drag their own name through the mud if someone buys a scam because it said it was affiliated with BHVR when it wasn't.

    He doesn't want second-hand information; he wants the actual source. Perfectly legitimate request IMO for the person who made the claim.

    That's how it works: looking for the source. It's a great reflex. Never trust intermediates.

    Asking for the source, not looking for it. I could waste an entire day, not find anything, and the person who actually made the claim and actually has the burden of proof would just say "well, you obviously didn't look hard enough!"

  • Even if it were legit, people buying into it would be getting scammed.

    Yeah that is nice and all but that is philosophy, and communications is a science. You can talk about how discussions and public discourse SHOULD be all you want, but communications is the study of how it actually plays out, and the go to smart play in these situations is to deliberately take on the burden of providing accurate information about your brand and its activities, because failing to do that causes anxiety among your consumer base and rumors to spread, mutate, and grow.

    BHVR isn't in the debate club. WE are having a conversation, and between US there is an expectation claims are backed up, but that isn't the same as saying 'BHVR should behave like rational actors and perfect logicians' which literally my entire field as well as over a hundred years of psychological research says isn't true. You got a bad case of 'too online' and are looking this purely as an internal community debate rather than a practical concern for a company that employs 600 people which should be (assuming this rumor is untrue) treating this like an attack on their brand by a bad actor and not something to hit snooze on.

    You know, even thou I do not care mutch about this NFT stuff and think that this entire "offer" is a scam, I greatly enjoy the insight you provide about communication and the effect it has for companies. Thank you very much.

    Weekend=Not working hours

    It's not normal to work for a company outside of working hours.

    So let me ask you of you would be cool with behavior not responding all weekend or addressing an issue if it was something that was a bigger deal? What if all the servers went down and no one could play the game for an entire holiday weekend, would that warrant a response? How about if they were hacked and personal/account information of users was leaked? Or if behaviors own social media accounts were hacked and spreading false information.

    If you think they would have to address more serious issues like this, then you agree that any reasonable company should have someone monitoring their systems, social networks, etc... in order to assure that they can respond to serious situations. Now you can argue this scam is not serious enough to warrant a response, and if that is the argument you want to make then make it, but to argue they have no responsibility cause it is the weekend is just holding them to a standard that no legitimate company would find acceptable.

    The difference here being that this isn't their fault and doesn't impact the game. If the servers were down, that would be something that could be their fault, or, at the very least, does impact the game.

  • Hey all, just in case you are unaware.

    NFTs are a scam. Every single one of them.

    That's it. That's all there is to it. This one is also a scam, because they all are.

    He did the research for you refused to watch the video he linked.

    he linked a video with stuff in it that can no be found elsewhere.

    I went and checked for the instagram comments and they... just don't exist.

    Sorry, I'm French. I wanted to say that I agree with you. I just didn't use the right word.

    What they're actually saying is "You only get the Chatterer if you buy this", which is a blatantly false claim.

    I wanted to throw something out there. Everyone reads their roadmap and thinks that the Chatterer skin is included... in Dead by Daylight. A lot of assumptions are being made when reading the verbiage, but it mentions nowhere that the Chatterer skin is only in DBD. My guess is, they're going to add The Chatterer as another NFT you can own, along with Butterball. The only line that references DBD is "...Legendary NFTs that include access to in-game Hellraiser content in the hit video game Dead by Daylight for PC!"

    Another point is, if you look at the Lament Configuration point, it says you'll be getting a "bonus NFT" of the Configuration itself.

    I think people are reading into their verbiage (not unfairly, it's worded terribly) something that isn't ultimately there.

    Edit - even the heading for the DBD part is only under Pinhead. It doesn't even say you'll get the Chatterer skin in Dead by Daylight. It's for those "who own the box". What box? The NFT itself is a Pinhead NFT, it's not of the Lament Configuration.

  • So I know it was the weekend so it makes sense that we wouldn't hear anything, but... has anyone heard any news about this? I didn't see them deny it and it's starting to make me anxious.
