INDEAD BY DAYLIGHT IS GRADE ERGORE among the players. The reason is in an announcement of developers behavior. So you want to give NFT models from Pinhead for real money in the future. Meinmmo summarizes why there is excitement.
What does NFT actually mean? NFT stands for non-fungible token and designates a digitally protected object. That can be pretty much everything, from a picture or a model to a clip. They are based on a deposited string that is not interchangeable or copying.
For example, memes are marked as uniquely and are thus due to their owner. You can now buy such NFTs in certain areas, the principle is also comparable to trading cards.
Now keep in Dead by Daylight. As the developers have announced, players in the future can buy NFT models from Pinhead from the Hellraiser Chapter.
BHVR writes: Behaviour has worked with BOSS Protocol for several months to adapt to game-internal models for use as NFTs, and approved them prior to the Pinhead Pinhead.
With the players, this step is mostly not good.
NFT for Collectibles and Possible NFts in the future
What does the purchase? According to the developers, the purchase of a Pinhead NFT unique digital collectibles and [...] additional benefits, such as the reward of certain owners with signed collectibles and other benefits that revealed and delivered in the future will.
There is also an uncertainty in the benefit of the NFTs. Thus, in the future, there is apparently additional NFTs to access the owners of a PinHead NFT access. When that will be and around which it is, is not called. (Via Bansprotocol.io)
So there is apparently different rarity levels as in Loot boxes: usually, rare and ultra-rare.
How does it work? That s all very vague. The NFT is offered on the BOSS Protocol website. There is a description and a roadmap to the contents of the NFT. The NFT boxes must be bought by means of blockchain and offers a generated collection of NFTs, which also bring access to content in Dead by Daylight.
So it says in the FAQ:
Certain Pinhead NFTs release access to light razor collection objects and all entitle their owners (at a later date) for free acquisition of other NFTs (such as the Lament Configuration Box). The Pinhead NFT will also grant access to new content (which has nothing to do with Dead by Daylight) in the future. For example, the Pinhead NFT will allow the owners to unlock the character in other games that are currently under development.

Especially a choice of words makes players suspicious. Thus, talking about certain Pinheads offering access to collective objects of Hellraiser Collectibles. In other words, not every Pinhead offers these collectibles, so you have to have a lot of luck in addition to buying and pulling the right pinhead.
In addition, the speech of not even announced plays in which Pinhead can be unlocked with the NFT. Much is still very unconcretely known and not known in detail.
The Pinhead NFT even has its own dialog lines with the spokesman for the figure. Some players even suspect that Pinhead lost his voice in the game. BHVR demonstrated that.
Boss Protocol also writes:
We believe that NFTs, especially the species we work on, are an exciting new kind of collectibles that open the door to all types of ways to offer genuine ownership of digital content. All NFTs we develop will provide content, physical goods and unique access, which we will gladly tell you more.

However, the reactions in the community suggest that the NFTs are not so welcome collectibles.
Players are angry, even a former developer reports
Why do players react so critical? NFTs have a heavy stand for the players. They sometimes have a bad reputation, as they played a role in some frauds:
One of the younger cases concerns numerous people who have invested their assets in virtual NFT monkeys. The developer chose € 2.3 million A streamer has also discovered that one page sells its Twitch clips for 590 € - without his consent How much money can be done, also shows the streamer Indiefxx - which now sells NFTs for 300 € and more
NFTs must also be bought with the cryptocurrency Ethereum. This form of currency is considered harmful to the environment because the mining of cryptocurrency incredible eats a lot of power. Thus, there is much controversy and skepticism among the players is great.
In addition, the announcement made the rounds by Valve to throw games from the platform based on cryptocurrency and similar techniques. NFTs covered. Therefore, it was also the major concern that dbD could disappear from Steam.
At least in the point the developers have expressed: dbD remains on Steam. NFTs were not offered directly in the game, so that is no problem. Nevertheless, the players are not at all excited as can be seen in the subreddit to dbD. (Via reddit.com)
Some voices from the community:
EtonSAtom: This whole thing is opaque and damn suspicious, NFTs are usually fraud, [...]. (Via reddit) DavThoma: Many people are angry, and rightly so. When you consider how far climate change is already well advanced, most people want to support anything that harms the environment. (Via reddit) Wild Smurf: I think it [the criticism] comes less that these NFTs are in particular a scam, but rather ensuring that all NFTs are a scam. (Via reddit)
Even the former dbD developers McLean answers via Twitter to speak out and criticized the action:
I am opposed to the proliferation of NFTs and extremely disappointed that the game I love, is associated with them.

But there are also voices in the community who do not find the whole thing quite as wild. Writes example epicandetc2234: It is to be angry okay about it. I am, too, but trying not to freak out too much. That really does not affect the game, but I understand if people still want to be angry on principle. Fuck NFTs. I love beautiful trees.
So far, the developers have not commented on the issue. Whether they reconsider the action with the NFTs again remains, so to be seen.
