Dead by Daylight players slam devs over NFT Hellraiser collection Behaviour InteractiveThe Dead by Daylight community is slamming developer Behaviour Interactive for an NFT Hellraiser collection using the in-game Pinhead model as its template. NFTs (non-fungible tokens) are digital claims of ownership to special media that can range from jpg files to more intricate pieces of online art. Concerns around them usually boil down to questions around their environmental impact and use in scams with blockchain currencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. Pinhead is the debut piece for Boss Protocol\u2019s upcoming Masters of Horror collection. The game developer\u2019s involvement in the upcoming launch has invited criticisms from a host of players who do not want to support the industry. Dead by Daylight Pinhead NFT drama On October 18, Behaviour Interactive said they were working with Boss Protocol \u201cover several months to adapt in-game models for use as NFTs and approved them prior to the release of Pinhead in DbD.\u201d That renewed people\u2019s furor by thinking they were inadvertently supporting NFTs by playing the game. Concerns over the Dead by Daylight Pinhead model being used for the digital pieces are rooted in players feeling blindsided by the collaboration and Behaviour\u2019s continued involvement. \u201cSo will you be offering refunds for the chapter?\u201d one Twitter user asked. \u201cYou should have disclosed this before it went on sale as many people would never want their money to go towards anything to do with NFTs.\u201d A lot of the outcry matched that feeling especially since some of the 10,000 pieces of the generated collection would grant access to the in-game Hellraiser content for DbD on PC, which was initially released on September 7. so will you be offering refunds for the chapter? you should have disclosed this before it went on sale as many people would never want their money to go towards anything to do with nfts. \u2014 fern \/ cam (@eefernal) October 18, 2021 How to kill any goodwill people still had for you and your game after a string of rough releases, SBMM and a plague of hackers. It\u2019s one thing to make mistakes, making a game is hard, but this is just selling your soul for cryptodollars. Absolutely vile. \u2014 Pixel Bush Entertainment (@PixelBushYT) October 18, 2021 I bought the DLC from steam and it\u2019s too late to refund. I\u2019m contributing to harming the environment with NFTs against my will. What the fuck BHVR. \u2014 Nathan \u26d3 (@amongus69420) October 18, 2021 Dead by Daylight devs address Pinhead NFT The current situation has been developing since Boss Protocol announced Pinhead as the debut release for its Masters of Horror collection on September 23. Reactions to DbD\u2019s apparent involvement forced a response from the game developers to concerned fans on October 14. \u201cWhen we work with our licensing partners,\u201d Behaviour began. \u201cWe provide them with in-game models as well as Chapter keys. They are free to use these however they see fit as the rightful owners of these characters. \u201cTo be very clear: There is no exclusive in-game content linked to these models when they are distributed outside of the game in any way.\u201d To be very clear: There is no exclusive in-game content linked to these models when they are distributed outside of the game in any way. We hope this clarifies some of your questions and doubts. \u2014 Dead by Daylight (@DeadbyDaylight) October 14, 2021 After Behaviour created the model for DbD\u2019s Pinhead, the devs worked with partners for the Hellraiser license that would eventually be the base for the NFTs. Dead by Daylight has more horror icons in its library of killers and it\u2019s unclear if any of those will also be used for any future NFTs under the dev\u2019s licensing agreements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
