IS DBD DYING?

I just saw the Tofu's video of matchmaking and I am scared of it.
The playerbase wont grow up or just a little if the devs dont do something...
that made me thinking if they will let their game die. Let me explain quickly why: I was a Paragon player (a dead game wich Epic killed cuz Fornite) and last thing I remember was that they were making bad decisions and I really hope this game wont go in that way
Thoughts?

This game won't die for one good reason: it is the best cat-and-mouse game out here (which doesn't mean it is a good game).
The developers will likely fix this as soon as they get back from their holidays. Dead by Daylight isn’t dying. It’s making too much money for Behavior for them to let it die.
I don’t think so. Dbd is like Comcast. Lots of issues and they piss people off, but they’re the only option right now. There’s no other multiplayer horror game that’s any good at the moment, so it can’t die. Once something comes along that is better though, they’ll have a ######### time if they don’t sort their crap out.
Don't think it's close to a dying game...yet. Can it be a dying game when there's more people playing now than a year ago at this time? And that's just on PC, not counting player count on consoles.
Not dying, but definitely getting worse. They refuse to skip a chapter and fix things.
Hopefully. I would like nothing more but to see this game to flourish and get a bigger player base as long as they'd at least fix the all the technical issues. But devs don't give 2 shits about it and just keep releasing dlc and cosmetics. So I wouldn't care if it would be dead tomorrow.
I don't think so just yet. If they stay on their current track of releasing more and more content, without stopping to address long standing map and bug issues, I can't see this game lasting more than a year or two.
Nope. Check steamcharts. The last 4 months have been the highest in average players in the history of the game.
And it most definitely hasn't been "getting worse" either. We have a ######### patch, that's all. It doesn't change the fact that patches previous to this one have been very good, and the game is in its healthiest spot ever. Just because it's not perfect it doesn't mean it's getting worse.
No but they take vacations instead of fixing their money maker. If I did that I'd be out of business.
Don't see this game lasting another 2 years
It seems it is slowly growing to me. Don't worry about matchmaking, every winter there is some gamebreaking bug that they can't fix because vacations. At this point it's part of the tradition.
naaaah not for now, we're still playing it, and the devs are working on the problems of the game (they even are sacrificing the events for that)
so yeah, for now it's a bad period for the game, but hey, this game wont die for now.
OhTofus video seems to disregard that it wouldn't be so bad if everyone didn't depend on the huge buff SWF gives them, play less SWF doesn't occur to him. I think they just want the old matchmaking system because it was a lot easier to bully killers that way.
The game really does feel like it's on the decli, killers are eating so many nerfs lately and bugs that hurt killer more than survivor are flatout ignored. Some of their sponsored streamers are total creeps who just making trolling videos and encourage toxicity from survivors. I get nothing but "we don't care about killer fun" impressions from the last few dev communications. It wrecks the whole horror vibe
OK sure I'll play less SWF and stop having fun with the game real quick that's how to fix it
Jesus Christ.
Are you seriously, SERIOUSLY shaming people for taking a ######### christmas break?
I have no words. Really.
I had to stop playing cause I just burned myself out from playing nearly every day for over a year. Poor internet connection, toxic killers, hit boxes, lag switchers, and potato teammates have led to this decision. Hopefully they do fix something to make it less......blah
Its too early to tell. I'd say the lack of survivors for matches indicates there is somewhat of a problem. When Killer Q times are LONG.
I'm still playing other games that have been dying for the last decade..
For me right now I'm a little tired of the game, and slightly annoyed with it. The whole idea of the rift/archives is kind of useless to me. I want to still have the old events that they use to have with out then being tied to the rift, because it some ways it's like saying you have to pay to be in the event. (because getting tiers without challenges is hard as hell). Plus it's horror game, not a battle Royale game. A battle pass type system just seems kind of dumb and out of place. Another thing for me is the rank system, it's so put of wack. I am a rank 10 killer and I go against rank fours and threes! But then as a rank eight survivor I get brown/gold ranked teanates and killers?? The game is just very out of wack and I think they need to take a few months to straighten things out to fix some of the problems that have been going on for a while instead of pushing out new chapters that can cause more bugs.
I say it’s not dying, matchmaking just sucks
Yeah I am actually. Entire companies dont just disappear for a week and a half. It's just not done. Especially leaving paying customers with the current ######### state of the game.
People have been saying DbDs dying for years now...
No DbD is not dying. Issues will be fixed in time.
We already know roughly when updates happen so what's the point? They don't need to say anything we have the roadmap.
There will be a patch to fix a list of bugs before January ends. A PTB will be any time now.
Then there will be an update in March and so on.
Dude the game is currently a bug riddled pos. They need to spend man hours fixing it.
If I had 5 cents for every time someone started fear mongering about Dbd dying I could finance my own Dbd game.
They are those man hours are represented in the roadmap. By end of January the next wave of fixing will happen then March as i said.
Nah
If a better game comes along like it matchmaker could genuinely kill it, otherwise it will probably be fine.
What he was talking about is a serious problem though, if all the folks rank 20 - 15 can't find games and just give up trying and uninstall, and no new players keep joining...eventually that would cause a heavy decline in the player base....
It will be fine for now though, and for the foreseeable future. Games like last year and Friday the 13th are all dreadful or dying and are of no threat, someone would have to make a game like DBD that is just better; as flawed as this game is, there is still nothing as good as it available for it's niche game type.
You'll know when the game dies because the devs will literally disappear. Considering that they are still actively developing there's plenty of time. Eventually we'll get to a point where there's nothing to add and nothing or more or less nothing to fix, and at that point the devs will just change the meta. If you don't believe me look at Counterstrike. The game has been the same for years and the only thing that changes is map design (it isn't randomized so DBD won't need that too much) and changing the prices on some guns to see if it affects meta (so perk changes to see if it does anything). We've got another decade of the game IMO.
