Cosmetic profits are always frontloaded, is what I'm saying. You get the initial burst of hype when something is first released, then a taper to a steady, lower level as new players/existing players that spend some but not a lot of money on the game purchase existing outfits that they're interested in.
Royalties obviously account for high/low volumes of interest, but if you're paying a certain amount to renew a license, what you get from quarterly sales of a Hag skin, an Artist skin, and a Jane skin might not necessarily cover that, depending on how much the other partner wants for the rights. In that case, the limited cosmetics make more sense (well, they always make sense from the corporate perspective, but in this case they make sense in a model that isn't deliberately predatory.)
DBD emulating Fortnite is not a good thing from where I'm standing?
When will yall learn big companies are never on your side? This business model works and companies will use it.
Also this coming from the same company that contributed to hurting the planet with some dumb NFT just to get a killer that nobody even plays.
Yes this model is wrong and predatory. Is it profitable? Yes.
Does it seem like a BHVR thing to do? Absolutely.
Already so many sad people brag about exclusive items in video games to boost their false ego. Honestly, what makes you think BHVR is NOT gonna do it?

Huh, I hadn't considered that. If we were talking about licenses that weren't going to be added to the game as full chapters or paragraphs, but were more like Crypt TV in that an original character gets a skin for a character from some other property, that would make much more sense as a limitation of the deal they made than deliberately inflating sales through panic. Since once the initial burst of interest dies off, I'm not sure the profits from a deal like that would even sustain what they'd have to pay for the license over time.
Also, yeah, there was really no other way to interpret the referral thing. 😂 Sorry, guys, but you've got to clean up the community before I'm recommending this game to anyone. I'm not willingly sending anyone into the new player experience pit.

You know if the collab skins are cool and popular people would want them no matter what, right?
I mean Fortnite, the biggest MP game has this exact system.

Gameplay. Licenses are neat but I could play as Pinhead or his Dollar Store knockoff cousin NailFace the totally original character and be just as content.
I do however agree with you that it's very unlikely we're ever gonna get a game like this but is better. Which is why I continue to play this one.
Its why a lot of people still play this game. Licenses.
This is the only game where i can play as Jill Valentine getting chased by Pyramid head on Haddonfield.

I don't know what lore has to do with anything. It's not really relevant.
Why would you want a dance emote in a game like this tho?

Are you new to dbd? Survivor is the power role.

I can only imagine how mad they'd get. It'd just make it even funnier.
We are talking lore wise.

Why would survivors dance when they are in constant stress?
Not like theres a killer around every corner that can brutally kill them or anything.

Well like you said "The reporting system is already heavily abused" it's not working can't you get that. Easy Anti Cheat works but it's not perfect can't get everything adding auto-ban feature is just another layer to prevent cheating but if you are a cheater not saying that your are I can see why you don't want this change.
Im not a cheater. Im a player who is genuinely concerned about this system because it will 100% be abused.
I have also spent a a lot of money on this game. Its in my right to be worried you see.

It's like BHVR is here to do.....business.

I want to see the autoban system go live to see the meltdown of the community as everyone starts to execute each other with reckless, salty, toxic abandon. They'll undo all the bans within a week and go back to the drawing board (Didn't they do that with MMR?) but oh man it would be a fun week to watch.
They can undo the bans with this system? I never knew. Thats good to know.

Well, you better start mentally preparing yourself. This is what it's going to be. I have zero doubt about it.
I still have my hope because this is exactly why they delayed the system in the first place. I know BHVR makes bad decisions but they also make a lot of good ones too that nobody gives them credit for. I get the feeling that the community thinks BHVR are way more dumb than they actually are.

You hope? lol. Are you new? Just look at their absolutely basic bottom of the barrel MMR implementation.
I'm not new i just refuse to believe that devs can be that stupid to implement a traditional Auto ban system with a community that mostly has the "us vs them" mentality.

I had a swf report me once because I absolutely destroyed them. So... yeah, I'm pretty concerned.
I really hope they aren't THAT stupid and naive to make the system work on "X amount of reports = ban" but this is literally the definition of an Auto ban system.
