"Oh no my favorite streamer was accused of being toxic and fostering a toxic community, let me go be extremely toxic in his name and that will prove we're not toxic." -tbp stans

The Dead by Daylight community is one of the most toxic gaming communities I've ever seen. I started playing the game on release and have taken some breaks over the years even though I still enjoy playing it. One thing that hasn't changed since then is how mentally unwell many players are, mostly due to their entitlement and need to harass you as often as they do, both in and out of game. The best and most recent example is seeing some of them going after developer(s) by stalking them or telling them to end their lives due to recent events. This also happens within the game itself usually when a player is far too entitled to have any rational thinking. In my opinion, there should at least be some acknowledgement to both how toxic and draining that is for the playerbase and those outside of DBD. It's worth noting that there are obviously a lot of good people within the community to find, but the negativity often outshines the positivity.
That being said, I find it disturbing how communities can be mobilized with zero, little, or even a lot of push to harass others, like streamers or even general players. Content creation as a whole, has significantly shifted over the years from most people knowing each other, getting the same vibes, and just an overall enjoyment of hanging out. Specifically, I see platforms like Twitch as being a former shell of what it used to be as it has devolved into disingenuous attempts at clip farming with zero substance, mixed in with actual takes from others.
Endless harassment from a community, no matter from where, is a fruitless endeavor in my opinion. It accomplishes nothing of value and only exists to harm others. Hopefully this spreads awareness in an attempt to remind people to play whatever they want, form their own opinions, and leave the needless harassment of others out.

I haven't said anything about the current situation here as anything I would want to say echoes what others have already mentioned. But I want to make sure folks know where I stand on the entire situation:
I feel heartbroken and frustrated. Not only by how this situation started, but how it has escalated and so far been handled by DBD. All we have been given is a post (not even on the main account) with words that mean little.
I don't understand how someone can go on the offical DBD Twitch account, at home, out of work hours, potenially under the influence and "collab" with a creator without prior authorisation, not to mention the creator involved/the fan base they enable. Their flippant response to this entire situation shows how meaningless that "collab' was to them as it's just another meme for them to use for content.
Something so small to that creator has left an entire community distraught over the weekend, getting all kinds of comments, slurs & threats on their socials, DMs and streams... ALL because of one decision made by one employee.
How can you build a community over the last 10 years that stands for equality, representation and acceptance... to just lose all that confidence with one decision? Is this what your company stands for or is this just one rogue employee who has taken advantage of their position?

This apology absolutely skirts around the points being made by us. Trying to Frame this as an internal approval issue completely sidesteps the big question, why was this particular creator being given these benefits in the first place?? what was the reason that led to the decision? Trying to say the correct approvals weren't obtained doesn't really address any of the concerns people have nor does it explain WHY those concerns were initially dismissed (YOU EVEN SAID SO IN THIS APOLOGY) Accountability means addressing the decision itself and not just the process surrounding it.
You also reference your "core values" without defining what those are or how any of this contradicts them? If these values are so important to Dead by Daylight enough to invoke an apology with that included then surely the community deserves to understand what they mean in practice! Values shouldn't just be a convenient phrase that is used to distance a company from individual conduct it should be something consistently demonstrated, which lacks in this entire situation.
Threats and harassment towards employees are completely unacceptable and nobody should be subjected to that but it's important not to conflate that behaviour with actual criticism or use it to try and overshadow the concerns being raised. The community has EVERY right to question your decisions and expect answers. You acknowledge you've let people down but offer such little transparency and accountability or meaningful reassurance about what will change in the future. The community deserve an apology that dresses the issue itself and not just the fallout.
This weekend, a Dead by Daylight team member awarded in-game content and currency to a creator streaming our game. Although it is not unusual to unlock content to give creators discovering DbD a chance to have a sneak peek at available content, this decision was made without receiving appropriate approvals. Furthermore, the team member's subsequent comments and conduct do not align with Dead by Daylight’s core values.
When concerns about this decision became apparent during the stream, we should have responded by looking into these concerns, not dismissing them.
Unfortunately, we’ve now seen the fallout of this decision unfolding in many conversations across the DbD community. We appreciate and stand with our community’s willingness to ensure our shared values are being upheld, at all times, regardless of popularity, and we’re heartbroken at the inflammatory language now being directed towards our community.
At the same time, threatening employees will never be acceptable, and we’re asking everyone to stop engaging with these posts.
We apologize to our community for letting you down. We have already begun reviewing our internal processes to prevent an incident like this from happening again.

The keyboard warriors on social media that make sure you critique DBD and BHVR enough are so hilarious
If they smell the tiniest hint of positivity they are 100% there and ready to throw hands in any comment section
And yes I like the new Diablo skins, deal with it.
