Is DBD free
30-40 hours of gameplay to unlock a new character? (9,000 shard).

I only saw this model in F2P games and not in paid games

not all characters can be bought with shards

not at all. u have to pay 20$ for the game just to know that u either have to pay more for the character and its cosmetics or play 150 games just to get 1 character. oh u dont wanna play that much? pay extra 30$ (which is a higher price than the game itself) to buy only the survivor dlc and ANOTHER 30$ to buy the killer one :steamthumbsdown:

That's my point, if it was F2P I would understand, but if I already paid for the game,
Why do I need to farm 400 hours to buy 10 characters?
or 120 hours for a 21,000 shard cosmetic, that's insane and pure greedy.

Most of the characters currently in the game were added post release. If BHVR is going to put the time and money into designing and implementing new mechanics and characters, they need to support themselves, so they sell them. i don't see the problem here, why shouldn't they get paid for the work they put in?

The problem is that since its release they only release new DLC (To get money).

And not what many users have been asking for years.
New mechanics or game modes
fix the Shrine of Secrets,
among others

From what I see, they are only interested in squeezing the game as much as possible

that would be true for killers, but survivors are basically just a skin for each others with no new mechanics at all so your comment makes no sense

ok? like all characters and killers r the same price and they're already supporting themselves by selling the game and the cosmetics with money

Alright alright i get it. I didn't think about survivors. still, new perks are new content, and if new survivors are nothing but skins, why does it matter they're expensive? but yeah maybe survivors should be cheaper than killers.

To get the 3 perk of a Survivor (Unlicensed), you need to play for 40 hours or wait for it to spawn in the Sanctuary of Secrets.

2 out of 131 random survivor perks per week, can take you years to get it

I'm not following. You get all three perks for any survivor you buy right when you buy them. Do you mean the third teir of a perk?

If you want a specific perk you have 3 options.

-Play for 40 hours to buy the character
-Pay $5
-or wait for said perk to appear in Shrine of Secrets,

There are currently 131 survivor perks, and each week only 2 randomly appear

Thats 2.62%, if it does not appear you must wait until next week and so on
It can take years (If it is an exclusive perk of, for example, Nicolas Cage, you have no choice but to wait or paid)

18 survivor + 13 killer = 279,000 shards

Now suppose that in 30 hours of play you get 9,000 fragments

It would take you 930 hours or 39 days of playing non-stop

Not counting Survivor/Paid Killer perks and cosmetics,

Tell me how this is not a typical F2P game model
