Wonder Woman was not a "woke" movie. "Woke" movies try to shove an agenda down your throat. Wonder Woman did not. It was a great movie about a badass woman kicking ass and taking names.

That's not what I heard before its release. People always seem to forget that there was major outcry about how Wonder Woman was an "SJW film" and whatnot. Even so, it doesn't address the major point, which is that the exceptions to the "get woke, go broke" slogan are dismissed as just being part of franchises that are "too big to fail".

I completely ignore the existence of DS and just do my best to kill survivors as quickly and efficiently as possible. However, I've started to actively go out of my way to never hook the same survivor twice in a row if no DS is present. I consider it incentive for survivors to stop using DS.

It is not a 1v1 game. It is 1v4 and I think people always forget that.

Yes, I know. On the other hand, if the skill gap is big enough, you can effectively 1v1 the killer. A rank 4 should've easily been able to steamroll a rank 12, if both players were at the ranks that reflected their skill.

did BHVR say this just some one on fb?

Silent Hill is owned by Konami and we've been told before that the reason licensed characters don't get many cosmetics is because they're licensed and everything needs to be approved by the license holder. It's why, for example, prestige outfits for licensed characters have a few droplets of blood compared to the original characters'.

Whats to communicate?
And why would this warrant positivity?
Waiting 15 min at times for games then only getting matched with folks way outside your skill and rank is not fun. Not at all. It's very irritating and makes people not want to play the game. The absolute opposite of whats needed.

Arguably the fact that OP was killed by a rank 12 killer proves that either the rank 12 killer is much better, or that the OP shouldn't be at rank 4.

I used Dead Hard as my only David perk while getting a crown for him. I had no problems using this perk, including a dodge that was so last-second, everything froze for a moment as if the servers were trying to decide if I'd actually dodged the hit or not.

The gameplay is little to no different then the first and the storytelling is absolute garbage and the only reason why its a success is because of its name, same reason why NFL and NBA games are a succes... people have been looking forward to TLOU2 and yes it is a massive let down IMO everyone who've I've seen played the has hated it.

It's funny how this excuse comes up every single time a supposedly "woke" product becomes incredibly popular and makes a ######### ton of money instead of "going broke" (Captain Marvel, Wonder Woman, etc.), yet it doesn't seem to apply to other equally famous franchises like Ghostbusters, which people were also looking forward to because the first one was a great movie. Maybe it's just that there's a loud minority that doesn't like certain things in movies and video games, but the silent majority can recognize a good story when they see one.

I cant understand why people defend companies with their representation pandering. In reality the company does not care about you they only want your money, and the whole representation crap is about driving up sales by appealing to a specific audience. And the best part is you cant criticize them about it or your a homophobic white supremacist.

In reality the company does not care about you they only want your money, and the whole representation crap is about driving up sales by appealing to a specific audience.

Yes, that's how capitalism works. Companies do things to appeal to specific audiences to drive up sales and make money.

And the best part is you cant criticize them about it or your a homophobic white supremacist.

No, but it's just that when you have a problem with LGBT pandering and not heterosexual pandering, it does seem a little weird. No idea where white supremacy comes into play, but OK.

Star breeze.com. The publisher for dbd back in 2017. That's where I got that figure from. But back to the point I made originally. We shouldn't have to wait months or years for something that could have been fixed ages ago if the devs actually listened to us when we tell them. Matchmaking is broken. But if there track record with listening to the community is any indication it'll probably be 2023 by the time they fix it. We were complaining about god pallets and loops since the game started and look how long that took to get rid of some of them since they decided to make midwitch completely broken in terms of balance and still haven't fixed every maps size issue. It's like they've learnt nothing from previous map issues. They choose to get the license for silent hill so don't say they were probably restricted in terms of what they could have done.

Can you post an actual, direct link to the part where they mention the profit?

You had 5 instances where you hammered that guy, asking him for proof like he's some sort of Wall Street player that knows people and can provide insider information to you. You also kept downplaying the amount of profit YOU think the developer is making, without you yourself providing any proof..that's kind of hypocritical of you, don't you think?
I've worked in the "business" and can tell you that they don't have that high of an upkeep, considering their monetization plan, current game design, the fact they are publishing it themselves and how well the game is doing. Most of their money is going to server costs, IPs and to the design team to make better cosmetics.
I don't want to start an argument and then get to involved in it to stop and go back and forth for years, since ti doesn't make a lick of difference in the end since neither of us have any say in how things evolve but please take a few moments to think how their monetization model is affecting the game - how they need to make sure that the licensed killers and survivors add something with enough impact to the game that it makes ppl buy the DLC but not that impactful that it makes the free and/ or unlicensed chars obsolete.
Balancing around this alone must be a nightmare and having business reasonings behind nerfs or buffs added to a killer or to a perk is not a good idea in the slightest.

I didn't make any claim about their profit, so what exactly am I supposed to provide proof of?

Again, I said nothing about my opinions on legendary skins or even the monetization in this thread, so I would appreciate it if you kept that in mind when replying to me.

I'm sorry but you have a very reductive view and I think that's on purpose. I see the number of posts you have and I think you've been around for a long time now so you might have drank the cool-aid too much to see (or want to see) what's in front of you.
I can only link this clip that I saw a few days ago and I don't have any pure revenue numbers (I don't think you can even get those unless the company is publicly traded or they shared it themselves) but it doesn't take a forensic accountant to see that this company is money hungry and has implemented more and more practices to fatten their bottom line, to the expense of customers and all the while neglecting real investments into making the game better and enhancing the quality of the product.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QW6_qIooyU
I'm new to the game and have kept my distance from DbD since I always thought it was a sub-par product that aimed at being a cash grab. The only reason I got it was because it was free to play on Steam and then I ended up buying it because I played a few games with a friend which I really enjoyed and then the first few games I had on killer were EXTREMELY enjoyable. The problems only came after I actually forked money for the game and started going more in-depth into it and its flaws. I watched a lot of youtube tutorials and gameplay from Otzdarva, IamTofu, Tru3Talent, Dowsey, etc and saw that if I wanted to have any chance at being competitive, I needed to put even more money into the game.
Initially I had gotten the game and Leatherface DLC because everyone said BBQ&Chili is too good to not get straight up and that it will help me farm BP which are the main thing to be interested in since they run the gameplay economy of the game by unlocking bloodwebs, leveling characters and obtaining power. BP gain is pretty bad considering everything is hidden behind it - for the average person playing, it will take an extremely long time to get characters leveled/ get addons andsee any meaningful progress through the game and you have to realize that not everyone can game 15h a day to grind and satisfy this greedy appetite that the developer seems to induce.
After I had Leatherface and leveled him to 35 to get BBQ, I realized that I needed more and more killers, either for perks (clown for PGTW and Bamboozle) or because they were really good and on top of that they also had BiS perks (plague for CI, Inf Fright). I went and got clown, plague and myers dlc next. Notice that I bought 2 heroes which could noramlly be unlocked via in-game mechanics (iridescent Shards) in plague and clown because iridescent shard gain in game is a joke - and I know, I know - if you play, you eventually make enough to unlock everything (at least the unlicensed killers/ survivors) but how long is "playing enough"? that's the real question here.
You need many thousands of hours to get enough shards to unlock the characters you would need to be competitive RIGHT NOW. I would have to play subpar builds for a VERY LONG time and be extremely hampered by not putting more money into the game. Up to a point, that's fine - supporting the game you enjoy and the company in order to develop more and make the game better. The problem is that they don't seem concerned at all with making the game better, they just care about PR and drip-feeding its customer base into sticking around.
If you want to get a cosmetic ensemble, you need to pay at least 10 euro - each character has several outfits and the cheaper ones are extremely ugly and for some mid tier ones, you would have to pay over 20k Iridescent Shards if you wanted to get them. Everything is centered around getting as much $$$ as possible. Is this value for money? paying thousands of euros to unlock everything? you can do that for free in Overwatch and in other similar games, too.
Moving past the cosmetic aspect and returning to the DLCs - on Steam, if you wanted to unlock all of them right now, it would cost you ~90euro. That's with most of the DLCs being 50% off so in full, you would need to pay closer to 200euro to unlock the "full" game. That's going way past AAA level range for a game that has bugs out the ass and an atrocious matchmaking system, where technically all you do is run around a map (different maps) and doing the SAME thing over and over again. This is an oversimplification but consider everything that goes into a AAA game - voice acting, gameplay design, level design, QA, marketing, market testing, etc, etc.
That didn't happen here and from the get go, they were making bank. If you think this company isn't making bank, you are a fool. It was never more popular than it is today and they are baiting IPs to get you to pay every 3 months for an incredibly low amount of content (1 map, 1 killer and 1 survivor).
Now comes the even more egregious part - after you do pay all that money, you still don't get access to the full game because you need to still grind each one to unlock perks, get addons to help, prestige the chars (for cosmetic which are way way WAY below those on the cash shop in terms of quality and effects) and all that is done so you can then move on to another char and do it all over again, with even more variables in terms of drops (teachables).
The Rift and the Tome are also pretty bad and are made in such a way that requires you to play an ungodly amount of time, in order to unlock everything and only the most dedicated will reach the end, get everything and also get the money back so they can buy the next one. That shouldn't be the case, it shouldn't feel like a chore to slush through the Tome to unlock stuff and it shouldn't feel like work - you should be incentivized to do it because the rewards are extremely cool or you get other things in return. Some of the entries are impossible to do, even..unless you spend more money aka character specific challenges, things that require a specific setup and addons, etc, etc. Why would a new player buy the Tome if they can't even do it?
These are my thoughts, as a very new player, in regards to the game and the company behind it. I'm sure their intentions were good when they started out but to say they aren't milking this for all its worth atm is just being blind to the truth or speaking from a position of priviledge (having everything unlocked, having an ungodly amount of time invested into the game which in turn changes your viewpoints and mental process when rationalizing things).
Look at what happened with the event that's running atm - the game's FOURTH anniversary, a time when everything is ramping up, more ppl are playing the game than ever and the game seems to be at its peak. This should be a momentous occasion for the game and the team behind it, a very proud moment where they should be looking at every opportunity to give something back to the community, to the playerbase that made this game a success. What did they do? they changed the loading screen slightly with some random quotes from a few ppl in the development team, they added an ugly ass crown in-game (THAT YOU HAVE TO GRIND TO EARN ON EVERY CHAR, nice celebration) and they added a cake addon that's supposed to give you a STACKABLE xp buff that doesn't work still.
It's the same cake from last year, with a minor tweak to its %xp from 103 to 104 and yet, it doesn't work. Really? you believe this wasn't intentional? stackable cakes = more xp for everyone = more cakes = more xp = easier BP unlocks = less grind. If you think this wasn't intentional and that they only addressed it when the community really came up in arms about it, you are very innocent indeed.
The crown can't even be used as it's butt ugly and it makes your char easier to spot. You should take the way they thought to approach this momentous occasion as further proof that all they care about is monetization and increasing their bottom line.
Now, I'm sure a lot of ppl will jump 10 feet in the air and become defensive, come here and berate me and saying I have no clue what I'm talking about..look for anything and everything to justify their time/ money spent in the game, etc, etc. This will however not change the facts and wearing horse blinders doesn't help anyone. If you don't cry "wolf" you will get eaten and especially in today's day and age, the wolf is pretty much always at the door, waiting.
The MMR situation won't be fixed fast, the cosmetic situation won't be fixed fast, the BP issues won't be fixed fast, pricing in general won't be fixed..unless people speak about it and make them fix these issues. As long as you get people white-knighting for the company and refusing to see all the bad #########, you won't see any meaningful change and the game will slowly become more bloated with crap and turn away more ppl, either through word of mouth or through the amount of money that needs to be invested, just to start having fun.

I'm literally just asking someone who made a statement for proof of that statement. That's it. I said nothing about my opinions on the price of cosmetics or legendary skins.

I personally dislike playing with/against stealth-based survivors because that almost guaranteed you or someone else on your team is going to get tunneled because the killer has a hard time finding others.
You're basically ensuring someone else, as well as the killer, doesn't have any fun.
It's why a lot of people bring Moris against Blendettes. Nobody likes stealthy survivors.

Everyone is free to learn to play stealthily if they don't like being chased. If not, don't worry, I'll be there to rescue them from the hook.

Explain how ds,unbreakable,bt, and SPINE CHILL are crutches. Ik killer mains love to complain about those three but spine chill now you are just nit picking. DS and unbreakable are needed to even have fun playing this game tunneling and camping is far to common to not run this perk combo. If killers didn't do that then survivors wouldn't need that perk combo. Borrowed time you just wanna tunnel its painfully obvious man nobody complains about bt unless they want to go after the recently hooked survivor.

DS is a crutch for when you can't avoid the killer for 60 seconds after being unhooked.
BT is a crutch for when you can't perform safe unhooks.
Unbreakable is a crutch for when you can't win chases.
Spine Chill is a crutch for when you can't counter stealth killers.

All perks are crutches. They either help you deal with things you wouldn't be able to deal with on your own (see above), or provide boosts to your abilities you wouldn't otherwise have (for example, Alert).
