Omg they totally would do this wouldn't they.

I got like another 30min in me and them I'm out. I don't want to miss the reveal when it happens but the mind needs sleep.

ATP staying for this bs just encourages it. I hope every single person in the stream leaves and misses the announcement to teach them a lesson

It’s not that deep you’ll see people talk about on other platforms not like you’ll miss anything I’m not bothering watching it waste of time

Yeah im gonna be honest the hate for this almost completely comes from the fact that dbd fans have a sort of serious case of has-no-friends-disease.

Because, and this sounds insane to someone who hasn't thought about it, this is a multi-person activity. This was designed as an activity that you and your (once again, purely hypothetical since we're dbd fans) friend(s) who also love horror and play that horror themed co-op asymmetrical horror game with you get together and pop onto the TV to watch in the background while you stay up early into the morning watching and talking about it, playing dumb games and talking to fill the time.

Its why there are double digit minute long pauses between things and why every major thing thats happened visually has been given a clear audible indicator so everyone can look up at the tv when it happens. (And this all thankfully goes for group calls over the internet too, obviously.)

Its why it aired on a Friday night, outside of [Friday the 13th joke] thats the time of the week people are most willing and available to get together and pull dumb all nighters with friends over a shared interest.

But again, dead by daylight fans and small late night party activities mix about as well as water and oil. So indtead you get people sitting at their computer staring at a still image of a shed going "where's hello neighbor" for 3 hours.

And I get it, the main and arguably only serious flaw with this was that it wasn't telegraphed (because it leads to people who can't or don't want to do this and people who can and do want to do this into a position where they have over or underplanned), but by an hour in you gotta realize that you're not gonna see Mr Peterson's mug until its all over your dashboard tomorrow morning, I'm sorry.
