## Key points

- Behaviour Interactive apologised after a controversial Halloween stream.
- TheBurntPeanut received access to the full character roster.
- Players criticised the apparent creator endorsement and some said they uninstalled.

## Summary

Behaviour Interactive apologised after a Halloween stream featuring Dead by Daylight and streamer TheBurntPeanut prompted backlash from players. The dispute matters because fans saw the developer’s support as an endorsement of a creator whose past on-stream behaviour has drawn accusations of offensiveness and bigotry, and some players said they were leaving the game.

The streamer, known for playing extraction games such as Arc Raiders, was given access to the game’s full roster of Survivors and Killers, which he showed during the stream. Dead by Daylight normally starts players with a limited selection; additional characters can be unlocked with earned in-game currency or bought with premium currency, with licensed characters costing around $5. The article says the collaboration had not been publicly detailed or promoted beforehand, adding to questions about creator-program decisions.
