- Some fans protested by uninstalling or requesting refunds.
- Behaviour apologised and said it would review its processes.

## Summary

Some Dead by Daylight players say they are uninstalling the game or seeking refunds after a Behaviour Interactive employee gifted all its paid DLC to streamer TheBurntPeanut during a Halloween livestream. The gesture was seen by fans as support for a controversial figure, and the employee’s response to an offer to return the items further intensified criticism.

Players also raised concerns that other creators have waited a long time for approval to join the game’s Creator Program. Behaviour said the employee acted without proper approval, apologised for letting the community down and promised to review its internal processes. TheBurntPeanut denied accusations against him during a later stream.
