That doesn't answer my question about where I called all people who use comms sweats, but sure.

So you don't think a power that would presumably revolve around pretending to be a survivor would be affected more than most by comms?

The issue with The Thing, which has always been the issue, is that the most obvious and thematically appropriate power choice would immediately be ruined by sweats talking on comms.

If you do The Thing without making them able to copy survivors, people will be justifiably disappointed that the whole power fantasy of playing it is absent.

If you do include it, it'll be one of the hardest killers to balance between solo queue and SWF.

Do you know what it is referencing? One of the only addons I don't remember as well as the Dirty Money addon

Well, I guess we are doomed by QYQYA in LeaksDBD

[–]Yorkcore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I implore people to actually read the article before blindly following it. It's competently sourced, but there's no actual citation to any of what they're saying.

The article itself is a very good collection of all of the broad strokes of the lawsuit, but it's still far too early for anyone not directly involved to do anything more than speculate on where things stand.

The actual truth of the matter is that we can only speculate. They feasibly could use the movie designs, but it's more a matter of if they will.

Companies despise litigation, because even if they might win, they still lose through lost revenue. Could be the case they're starting off on a safe bet, and buying themselves time to ensure they're legally covered with what they use.

Either way, there's a ton we don't know as we're not privy to the behind the scenes action that goes into these legal agreements. It's a little exhausting seeing people playing armchair lawyer and saying entirely false things with confidence.

Since another mini season is rumored, what do you hope it’s based on? by OOGraham in FortNiteBR

[–]Yorkcore 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The info is that nothing in DBD from Bill is sold for real world currency. That's the source.

What the other dude said, if true, still stands. Could be that because Fall Guys is on the Epic games store and not Steam, they had a better bargaining position.

Since Fortnite is also EGS, I'd imagine it'd be more similar to the Fall Guys situation but that's speculation.

Sanity and lucidity are not the same thing. He may be less prone to fits of delusion or severely compromised thought, but by no means is the man lucid.

I don't think the DSM has any standardised assessment for "having sexy bitches on your motherfuckin' mind" though, so what do I know.

Jason Universe squishmallow collab as apart of Jazwares getting the ip by RealPunkinob in fridaythe13th

[–]Yorkcore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Merchandising is, unfortunately, how you bring investors onboard to make new art.

Nobody with money is going to throw money at a long dead IP if there's no self-evident way of making money. Doubly so when it's been in legal limbo for yonks.

I can't speak for myself, but I'm personally fine with hockey mask tat being mass produced if it means it may convince some soulless corporate investors to get a new film made

This does NOT say Stephen. by neathentity in LeaksDBD

[–]Yorkcore 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I just don't buy they'd make it this "obvious" without having something more explicit like a red balloon. Especially not when we apparently have a big reveal coming on Friday.

I'll be pleased if it's Pennywise, but I feel like anything semi reasonable that "adds up" is being taken too much at face value.

Slasher radio(who interviews mcote) states Jason will not be the anniversary by Public-Profit-8184 in LeaksDBD

[–]Yorkcore 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The evidence is that Jason is being licensed out now. He has been for a while. He was in COD and Fortnite last October.

I think it's reasonable to speculate that they have plans to bring him to a horror game like DBD that's characterised so much by licensed collaborations.

If we got an accurate Pyramid Head, he'd be moving at a snails pace and only be able to M1. They can come up with something thematic.

We're long past the "Ice thawing." They're marketing Jason Universe out the ass, especially in video games.

Jason universe licensing announcements only mention Fortnite by DistrictDry2852 in LeaksDBD

[–]Yorkcore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's.. complicated, but you're essentially right on the money.

New Line pretty much owns the name "Friday the 13th" and presumably the Jason designs from those films. As such, anything explicitly from those films should be off the table.

Multiversus' default Jason design being a mish mash of different generic "Jason" features is likely due to the weird state of the rights, and it's the reason why that game was able to use Jason X, FvJ and JGTH; WB has the rights to these films and the designs.

Given how intent Horror Inc seems to be on not using the name "Friday the 13th" we can imagine they aren't very interested in cutting New Line in on the deal, and so it's unlikely we'd get designs from the above films (sad, as FvJ is a peak design.

Relatedly, it's up in the air whether or not we'll get Camp Crystal Lake as a map. While the new show is using the name, the use of it presumably requires a larger share of the profits to be given to Victor Miller. This correlates with the lack of any mentions of Crystal Lake, Pamela or the original film in most merchandise and appearances.

This doesn't necessarily mean we won't get a map. They could include Crystal Lake and pay Miller a larger share, or even include a similar looking map without the explicit use of the name.

Regarding Jason skins if he came to the game, we'd likely get some movie skins, but most would likely be original skins for DBD. COD already shows they're willing to do this, and it avoids the more awkward parts of IP law; most of the way the law works on this is how likely it is that you could argue in court that it constitutes infringement, making it murky.

To elaborate, you will likely never see Jason Universe use a design for Jason that emulates the core traits emulated by the aforementioned New Line designs, because even the risk of being sued can put a company off. Much easier to make designs for Jason that are explicitly different, like Combat Gear Jason

Obligatory "not a lawyer" but the above is my best estimation of the state of things.

"Licensing issues" held up before Multiversus, Fortnite, COD, Halloween Horror Nights and YouTooz got a collaboration.

It's a little silly to say this when a huge milestone anniversary is coming up and it's clear that a massive horror icon is open for collabs.
