The same reason I play any other video game; I enjoy it. If I didn't, I'd stop playing. GGEZ

the game was affordable. new content is regularly released. i'm not forced to purchase the content to continue playing the game. the game supports solo play (killers ; no joining guilds ; not required to be part of a team). the online is stable enough for me to play. i don't have to deal with voice chat constantly screaming at me for being bad or being "unfair". the game has crossplay and cross progression.

there are current generation games from big name studios that can't get these simple features right.

gta online still doesn't have crossplay and every generation the accounts get reset.

battle royale games and e-sports titles force you to be part of a team.

voice chat when it works is just children screaming or junkies blasting music in a trailer park.

content for some games like bf2042, halo infinite, and for honor takes half a year to even release anything.

eso and fallout 76 basically requires paid subscription (dare someone to play it for a month on base game edition without giving into the subscription model) doesn't have crossplay or cross progression.

fighting games get released all at the same time and the fgc picks 1 and forgets the rest so the online is pretty much dead for the others.

story games like atomic heart are rehashes of 20-30 year old ideas and just as buggy.

elden ring gets boring after a while.

db kakarot is removing the multiplayer card game feature and i've basically been destroying the story at breakneck speed. i'd prefer it last longer considering i threw $100 on the fire for all the dlc.

and... racing games and sports games are boring.

🤷🏻‍♂️

for a team that has been working on the same game for 8 or so years... it'd be one thing if the game was an offline story game and they never fired anyone or people never got hired in, but considering the last 4 years and the fact that it's a multiplayer only game with a smallish company that has had to rapidly expand shrink and expand again...

To be perfectly honest,

I only play/care about DbD because I stream it and nobody wants to watch anything else.

I'm sincerely hoping that whomever is at the helm now can start to correct for all the insane damage Patrick did to this project.

because I lack self esteem and am addicted to this unbalanced garbage. the devs only care about survivors, nerfing eruption while dead hard is broken and unhealthy as ever. Just a thought. maybe god pallets are unfair, skilless game design? Any survivor can just run to shack and win the game with half a braincell. And because of safe loop and pallet counts, the defacto best killer strat is to just not chase people and focus on gens. Like, I queued up for chase, why the actual f is ignoring the only fun element the best strategy??? Patrol, chase, drop+kick one pallet, rinse repeat. You just do this unfun gameplay loop until all the good pallets are gone and survivors can only use the windows.

Im exaggerating to be clear, i just really hate and love this game to the point where unbiased discussion is just not a possibility anymore. I cant walk over here and say "yea I love shack, its a resource to be managed and theres only one" when any survivor can just loop you forever and never drop god pallet. Most survivors will legit choose to go down once the window is blocked instead of dropping god because that ######### pallet>getting hooked. If you didnt notice already, I sure do hate shack.

Elaborating on my point about the devs only caring for survs, Im not wrong. at all, actually. Remember old dh, the E to win perk? 5 years of being in the game! AND it got buffed with hit validation! Granted it got nerfed down, but its still the best perk in the game with a lot of E to win elements. Looping? press e, pallets all yours bud! Wesker tryna dash you down? Dont you worry, the e key is here to help. Anyone who argues that DH is a BaLAnCEd and SKiLLfUL perk is a low mmr player or is a dh crutch.

In short? I dont know why I play this game. Its designed to favor survivors in nearly all circumstances, only two or three killers actually hold the advantage by default, splitting up on gens means 1 chase= 3 gens at half. Then you have to chase again, and those gens pop. The devs had stated they balance around 48 second chases, so that means 1 chase is supposed to be half a gen. So essentially, the devs think game balanced=gens go brr even if you win the chase.

Bad game. hope it dies.

Play a different game if you hate it so much Jesus

Hi_Im_Chucky

Im not sure if I really do play it. Every Killer that I really enjoyed was changed past a tolerable point (for me) and now I just lurk around for the next chapter or update, always hoping, always waiting. Might really enjoy SM and stay and Play consistently again, but hard to say. I’m hopeful.

Sounds like you need a break. Game is fun, but it’s possible you’re just burnt out.
