BHVR - This action broke the bottom - I lost the desire to support this project

It's just a skin collection, but people complain as if their killer or survivor has been removed from the game.

I won't play this game until they give me access to the skins so I can buy them - I really wanted to buy them, I don't see the point in playing this game as it could happen again

Today it's a collection, but what about tomorrow? Killer, Survivor, DLC?

I think I saw someone else in another thread say the Castlevania chapter didn’t come to China. If true, that’s pretty depressing.

As for the skins: Personally, I have access to them, but haven’t read/watched any of Ito’s work even though I know a fair amount about it. The only skin in the collection I absolutely love is Kate’s, but until the devs buff solo queue, I won’t be spending real money on survivor skins (except indirectly through premium rift passes).

That still doesn't serve justice for them. First they region-lock skins, next they will region-lock dlcs.
Even if its on Junji Ito, BHVR agreed with these conditions. Every collab they had was avaliable worldwide, until Castlevania. They region-locked Castlevania for China, and it didn't cause that much backlash, so they probably thought "why not we start region-locking future collaborations?".
The only thing that keeps DBD alive are endless and unpredictable collaborations they have. What developers do? Make something that gives them stable online and makes millions of $ blocked for a not so small amount of countries. Again, they are a global game, and releasing content that is region-locked is ridiculous. Not to mention the trailer of the collection is translated into the languages of countries they have blocked.
It makes it even more ridiculous when you realize that they position themselves as "tolerant". I dont think it's really tolerant to agree with such conditions where you leave half of the fanbase with no new content because they live in a country that mangaka "avoids".

THAT’S the part I don’t understand. Why directly advertise the skins to countries they knew weren’t going to get them (unless it was a last second contract change or something)?

YES !!!

There is no replay or explanation, but they post other news at X. They dont really care about us

Makes sense since they instantly deleted the trailer for China. The main problem is that we dont know what's actually happening. There is no proper statement from BHVR on this. They cant even type out the list of blocked countries. Instead they move on like nothing happened.
This is bad for future of DBD. What if the most exciting collab in dbd's history (FNAF) gets region-locked too?
People who say its only about cosmetics didn't even try to dive into this hellhole. Seriously, how can you not see a problem in this? They just cut off around half of their playerbase and why? The answer is clear: make money as fast as possible.
Maybe the game is facing a lot of issues on development side, and they just want to make a lot of money before making a leave. Again this comes back to the fact that they didn't make any comments on this. Such a pathetic move from them

I don't recommend downloading because of the discrimination in this game. They add skins that are not available in some regions. This is strange.

how many threads do we need about this like yeah its bad but we already know about it we dont need 40 threads about this topic

Is there other ways to make bhvr notice? People spam on X, Steam and official forum = nothing. Should we just shut up?

[ʀᴀɪɴᴡᴇʟʟ]

I agree, it's totally unacceptable to ignore and restrict players like this, but apparently they don't care.
Incredibly despicable act on their part and it's the reason why I'm not going to spend any more money on this game.

[Computer Vibes]

It might not even be bhvr who made the decision. It could be the license holder or country laws or something else. I find it super weird from a business standpoint that they would lock skins and lose a lot of potential money
