after hours of playing this game, ive been permanently banned after being mass reported by malicious players. getting banned for seemingly playing the game is absurd in any game, be it social deduction or any other game for that matter.

I did enjoy Dread hunger, the game is somewhat difficult and sets up interesting scenarios in which communication is key, besides some of the gross behaviour in the community id like to believe that dread hunger is fun, its a shame, if i was unbanned i would probably pick this game up again but as it is, I litterally cant play. ive been banned because of mass reports. ive never intended to sabotage games, although shutting down a mouth breathing keyboard warrior was never out of the question, is banning players for not following how devs want people to play the game to a tee... is that really acceptable ?


EDIT 12/18 : Got banned for saboing boat when i first started playing. Got banned. Stopped doing it... Nonetheless, using the feature that way should not result in a ban anyways. Not without a refund. The game is expensive, I bought the rights to play the game, whether or not it is how you intended, as long as im not cheating or exploting. should not matter. The game can be played. an infinite amount of times. as long as the player base exist. Its rather counter productive and unprofessional to be banned over such petty situations. Ive been reported by many people who do not like me, I dont think arguing with your playerbase is right. dont get me wrong I'd still like to play or atleast something good come out from this, I dont hate the game but I think ban was rather innappropriate and ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

EDIT 4/14/2022
I requested an appeal again a few months back and finally got around to making this review.
I was told i was gas lighting the devs and their staff. I was litterally talking about the same things ive talked about in this review, I wasnt being overly confrontation but strong on what i believe, I paid for the game and I should atleast to have free reign over my gameplay. I didnt insult or question the devs intentions and want to make a safer better game. I was asking to be unbanned. I knew my place, I am in no position to critique or tell the devs what to do, But again. I was asking, to be unbanned. I swallowed any semblance of pride to be allowed back onto DH.

And this was their reply.

Hello. You are free to try and gaslight us as much as you want. You can try to justify your extremely poor behavior in genera. You were not trying out "unconventional playstyles". You were griefing and ruining matches for other players. You were given multiple temporary bans and you decided to ignored them all and in case it wasn't clear, we review each report manually. You will not be unbanned.
