Mathieu Cote explained the situation with Freddy Krueger He said they aren't Fortnite or Epic - they don't have that much money or capabilities. Also, the 2010 remake and OG Freddy are 2 different licenses. It's not impossible to have BOTH exist, but it's "very difficult"

BHVR my favorite niche studio, just a couple of lil guys😁

As much as I love Cote, please be serious. BHVR is not some struggling indie studio 😭 Y’all literally just celebrated 10 years of Dead by Daylight. I get that they don’t have the billions Epic has but acting like BHVR is out here making pennies is ridiculous. Epic having BILLIONS doesn’t mean BHVR suddenly can’t afford shit. 😭

They dont have money for freddy kruger but the money for, scooby doo, nier, terrifer, stranger things twice, jason/F13. Sureeee

we’re never getting Quentin cosmetics

a. i’m so tired of them acting like they’re still an indie studio just because they’re a multimillion dollar company and not a billion dollar company. b. if the issue is having two of the same characters in the game then get rid of remake freddy. 99% of the community would rather have the og.

People don't understand how licensing functions. Putting a skin in like Fortnite vs keeping a licence like DBD is completely different. Also when these ips can get Epic money with fortnites player base vs bhvr that's another obstacle.

Just comes to show that people don’t know how licenses work. Also much money it takes to keep them in game. Theirs a reason why Fortnite skins are limited and don’t just sit in the store like DBD

Oh dbd my favorite niche game

“Don’t have that much money” That is the biggest lie I’ve ever seen them say. They literally can afford to change the engine, rehaul the graphics of the maps, characters, and the audio. This game is literally the ship of thesis. While adding a weather system and other shit.

Oh we’re never getting OG Freddy 😭😭😭

Can we stop acting like dbd is a niche and broke company xdd

''fortnite money'' but springtrap is in the game btw

Some people in the comments are very obtuse or just do not understand the scale epic is working at compared to BHVR. BHVR is in no way an 1man team but epic are just rolling in crazy funny money and can afford to bankroll pretty much any Collab with guaranteed profits.

People taking it like they are saying DBD is poor are apples and oranges here. They have money, we just got Jason, getting Art, Scooby doo etc. But Fortnites income is grossly larger than most games dream of, and that's why licensors are also more cooperative

They're just a little guy

Given how they manage their game, I think its entirely possible they don't have much money.

Call me when Buffy the vampire slayer makes it into dbd

can we just kill remake freddy and redo the whole chapter

I genuinely can’t stand paulie, I swear he is the reason 99% of the problems are there to begin with

BHVR: We're just a wittle uwu indie company. Also, BHVR: We just bought 3 new studios and the Darkest Dungeon devs and got Jason and Art the Clown and Stranger Things and FNAF, but we can't get Robert Englund's Freddy still after 10 years because we don't have enough money for it

The language here sadly reads that they could get OG Freddy but they just don’t think it would be worth the hassle. Pure BS to pretend it would be prohibitively expensive and only a game like Fortnite could get it. They have their Freddy and don’t care to invest any more.

thats cool and all but what i wanna know is will they be willing to go ball knowledge and for their 35th anniversary as a company bring this fucker into the fog of dbd in some fashion i could honestly see him being a twisted version of their original 1st game ngl

This company is mess They can not make Nier skins legendaries, they can not get new skins for Freddy, losing Myers. Mess company

Remake Freddy is not a different ip. Wes Craven's estate owns US rights to the 1st movie and character of Freddy. Everything else is owned by Paramount.

Did you catch that at the end two of the same in different places can happen its not impossible...Where is halloween in DBD?

Wagghh we aren't fortnite!!! And whose fault is that

Might get shit on for this but I actually fully understand the reasoning. Compared to its live-service competitors, DBD really IS backed by a smaller and more niche company. Epic Games, NetEase, Blizzard, Valve, EA, and so on, play in a completely different ballpark to BHVR.

so bhvr is cheap, got it. and this is why they will never even come close to fortnite status

They need to stop pretending to be 2015 BHVR lol

Why do they act like a small indie dev studio

The licence for the remake is unique, and I don’t understand why you need two versions of Freddy or why you want the old Freddy removed. It's weird The chapter simply needs to be updated to suit today’s DBD. Add some cosmetics, update the models – that’ll sort the problem out

So are they giving up or no? Because if so; that’s the biggest embarrassment they can have. Missing out on Robert Englund especially now when you’re game’s entire claim to fame is “The hall of fame of horror” and you can’t even get the guy because it’s “too hard” is pathetic, lol

I think people are vastly overestimating how much money DBD probably makes in comparison to Fortnite. It's like comparing a millionaire to a billionaire. I'm sure there's also other factors like who approaches who, and how much interest was on each side to begin with.

So maybe because Fortnite spent probably a shit ton of money, that Behaviour doesn’t have, means The license sucks.
