Is VHS dying?

[DesiiCakez| TTV]

I've grown to love this game and i enjoy playing. I favor teen over monster and I'm kinda sad on how the teen side has been a struggle lately. I have been wanting to grind out on my teens but lordt these lobbies. I'm not sure if today is a bad day or what but I've waited in a queue for almost an hour and my friends got pulled in and I got left behind. Now here I am in solo queue hoping for the best. I really hope this game doesn't die and the devs have something great up their sleeve because I love the game and I would love to keep grinding !! <3

VHS isn’t dying, it’s already dead. The devs are just doing a weekend at bernie’s hoping nobody notices

People just don't want to wait 15-20 minutes after every 8-10 minute game until they find the next one.
And people are wondering why player numbers keep dropping.
Even if you want to give the game a chance, that's hardly possible because you wait forever to find a match.
It is clear that many have no understanding for that.

I think most people understand the problem. But it's also a self-fulfilling prophecy, because if everyone just played, the queues wouldn't be so bad. But people aren't playing because they think queues will be bad, which makes queues bad, etc.

I also think the team is working on it. I don't think the game is dead, it's just incredibly new with zero marketing done and some issues that need ironed out.

DBD has the market cornered on bully simulators

Queues are bad because Monster is a terrible experience and needs work. At least 15%, preferably 20%, of the queued players need to be Monster for the game to work and that doesn't happen. That's always been the main issue with VHS.

It's dying but not dead.
Everyone brings up DBD when VHS is mentioned, and mention that DBD is more popular. That might be true; however, do half of these people know that DBD was also suffering from the same fate at launch?

Some people should take a moment and watch how awful the killer experience was during year one and two. I'm surprised the game survived.

DBD was indeed suffering a similar fate, however it was basically the only horror asym at the time which saved it. VHS doesn't have that chance and so will likely fall into obscurity by next year

[Scream, Queen!]

DBD was saved by the Halloween DLC. If it weren't for that, the game would be long dead. The queues were up to 40 minutes for survivors AND killers (there were no servers, it was p2p and matched you with people in and around your download region), the game was broken AF, but the Halloween brought in so many people, advertisement and money, they managed to power through and make something out of it. People also forget that DBD was not supposed to be a live service game, the devs were planning some small updates and patches but they definitely were not expecting to support and add to the game for the next 6 years.

"If only those pesky monsters would stop being so selfish wanting the game be fun for them, and would just queue up for the sake of me and my friends getting to **** on them daily. Then my queues wouldn't be long and the game would be saved."

Yeah, if only. A real tragedy.
