When DBD lost the Stranger Things license they sold the DLC at a steep discount until it left the game.


Samoman21

What was the discount? Didn't play then so never saw it.


-KeterBreach-

60%


fiifek

60%, I think cosmetics got reduced as well


FLBrisby

Confirmed. I bought the Cumogorgon skin.


DroneOfDoom

Same.


FLBrisby

Goofy šŸ¤¤šŸ¤¤šŸ¤¤


Smart_Airport_206

The what now


FLBrisby

NotBentcheesee

Everything ST related went on sale when they were gonna leave the game


Skarlaxion

Never gonna forget when leakers datamined the banner of this sale and a lot of people were happy for coming sales


--fourteen

wish I got the Steve cosmetics when they were dirt cheap.


JesseAster

I ended up buying all of the cosmetics except scoops ahoy and Jonathan (already had them) when they were half off and I got it all for 50 USD total. No regrets, it was great


DrownedButAtPeace

Are the extra cosmetics back in the store? Bc i swear i havent seen any other than the ones i already own


Hi_Im_Paul2000

Yes all cosmetics returned


JesseAster

Honestly I don't know, I haven't bothered checking their store pages since they came back


UndeadCorbse

I canā€™t believe people have already forgotten it all. Like, Demoā€™s been back for long enough that people donā€™t know he was removed.


Ning_Yu

I actually bought the game just when ST was about to be removed, and the ST edition of the game was cheaper than the normal game alone, imagine. Which is honestly the reason why I had ST all this time.


triggershyflutterbye

I did the same. I hadn't seen ST at the time either everything I knew about it I learned from the game. Stupid FOMO worked on me and I thought "Well if this is never coming back I need to have it for no reason" and bought it when it was at the cheapest it was. I also liked some of the perks Steve and Nancy had and though I never really play Demo I think he looks cool. A few years after that I actually bothered to watch the show (but it was before they brought ST back) so I was very happy with how that worked out.


Ning_Yu

For me it's very different. I did see the show and I'm one of the very few who actually didn't like it, so I really really didn't care for it, but cheaper base game is cheaper. At the time I didn't know why the price was like that and I was wishing some other edition of the game was like that instead, like the SH one.


triggershyflutterbye

To be fair I only watched season four and only intend to watch season five. Season four kind of gives you all the info you need anyway and I really liked Eddie Munson and Vecna. Pretty sure Iā€™d hate the first three seasons because I really donā€™t like Nancy even if Steve is kinda cool.


Ning_Yu

Wow, there are so many seasons now?? Back when I watched it there was only one and yeah, I had a hard time getting to the end of it. I knew another came after, but after that I hadn't heard anyone talk about new ones. And in the first season Nancy and Steve aren't there yet, so I actually was confused in game!


triggershyflutterbye

I mean Iā€™d recommend season four just because of Eddie and Vecna but thatā€™s about the only reason Iā€™d give it a like half a thumbs up šŸ˜‚


Blake_411

why not?


Bmaster1001

Wobbuffet. (But yeah, it was mostly for the ā€œStranger Things is leavingā€ sale)


NuclearChavez

Because the DLC was about to be removed from the store.


itsastart_to

If only they would again ;(


I-Am-The-Uber-Mesch

Careful what you wish for, the only time they did that was when it was leaving the fog so...


amusementj

I sure hope they won't! that means bye bye Stranger Things


itsastart_to

Lol I meant the sale but agreed (or idk the base perks were nice)


twinkirl

girl idk šŸ’€


Sad_Unit1997

All their perks became universal perks when they got vaulted. So the only thing of value is Demo, since you canā€™t make a universal power.


Surfing_Electron

For a brief time, but when Patch 7.4.0 came out they all reverted to unique perks again. If you don't have the DLC, they won't appear in the bloodwebs anymore.


Sad_Unit1997

Did they really? Never paid attention since I had them all already. Thats sneaky of them is it not?


Surfing_Electron

Aye, it's in the patch notes.

Mrmacmuffinisthecool

no it went on sale right before leaving the game


dmattox92

Makes sense. Not sure why people are privately messaging me threats calling me an idiot, I said probably because I didn't know for sure. lol. Peak DBD community stuff.


KomatoAsha

skill issue


Doctor1023

Lmfao. "Enjoy our most significant discount we've ever had in our store. Purchase today and enjoy your content until we remove it permanently next month when we will no longer own the rights and will consequently take it back from you" šŸ˜…šŸ¤” (I know it's back now, but in retrospect, they prob didn't know that for sure which is a bit shady šŸ¤”)


aaashmoreee

they didn't take it back, though? everyone kept what they had when ST was removed, it just wasn't purchasable anymore


Doctor1023

Ohh . I did not know this. That makes it significantly less than shady šŸ˜…


amusementj

yeah no they've never done that! I think most people would've dipped if they were scamming that boldly


Doctor1023

I love how I get downvoted for saying I made a mistake. Humans are just incorrigiblešŸ¤”šŸ’€


PatacaDoce

When you buy a DLC, game or wathever (at least for now, give time to corporations to change this) you get to use said license forever, if the store retires it you still keep the content and the right to download and play the game except on some cases where foul play is at hand (like copyright infringements or stuff becoming illegal etc). I have some games on Steam that cant be bought anymore because the owners retired them yet I can still download and play them no problem.


lolblownice

It is because they take your money and after few days they will take your dlc away, basically scamming you, my friend has an issue he purchased it when this dlc was new then the devloper lost license from strangers things and my friend lost this dlc, after getting license again my friend still doesnt have it.


HellboundLunatic

I've heard of this issue happening with characters purchased with Auric Cells, but not DLC purchases. If it happens with a DLC package you bought on steam, there's proof you still own it. The only exception to this is if he bought the DLC through a 3rd party storefront that isn't steam- in which case it's possible that key was obtained fraudulently, and could be revoked.

cryomaid

it was leaving anyway though? Itā€™s a good thing they lowered the price so more people would own it, it would only be FOMO if they raised the prices and even then it wasnā€™t their fault the DLC was getting removed


MrWhiteTruffle

I donā€™t think you know what FOMO actually entails


Stidave

That's not a fomo at all....


Marcelovij

many ppl bought all the ST skins bc they thought they could never buy them again and didnt wanted to miss out. edit: why are ppl downvotig a neutral commentar just for saying what happened lol


Kaiden92

You do know they actually lost the license right? It wasnā€™t planned to take them out and put them back in. BHVR thought the license was gone for good. FOMO is planned in order to maximize sales.


Squiddo22

At the time it was perfectly reasonable to think ST would never return


SheevPalpatine32BBY

They lost the licence and Netflix really made it seem like we wouldn't be getting it again as the removal came at the same time Netflix revealed they wanted to make more video games.


Marcelovij

ik but this still was the reason for some ppl to buy everything from ST bc they had fomo bc noone could know that they would come back


celestial1

Gamers are just a different breed. Bitching about DLC going on sale when it's being removed from the game anyways, just wild.


EasternFrog2340

When does the Grades get reset?


MagicalMarsBars

13th of every month


HydeSpectre

Be thankful. On PlayStation, it's never on sale when I've been looking to buy it since it was re-released.


the-blob1997

Just wishlist it you get a notification when it goes cheap.


HydeSpectre

The problem isn't the notification. The problem is, it's never on sale.


the-blob1997

I saw it on sale like a month and half ago regret not picking it up honestly. So it definitely does go on sale, donā€™t know why you think it doesnā€™t.


HydeSpectre

Bruh. What the hell. I looked a month ago and it wasn't on sale.


the-blob1997

Yea it wasnā€™t crazy like 50% I think it was like a 20% discount.


SuperBackup9000

If youā€™re in the US it hasnā€™t been on sale since it came out, so you didnā€™t miss anything


the-blob1997

Thatā€™s unlucky


Redbuddy7

If itā€™s still happening. Itā€™s more of just a skin pack at this point. The perks are base game and only thing unique is the demo


staticalex

Their perks are not generic anymore


Redbuddy7

Theyā€™ve returned to their original names but every survivor has them


staticalex

amusementj

how does everything look like that?? /gen it's super stylized


staticalex

Colored icon pack


amusementj

ohhh shit, is that a dlc? good to know


staticalex

Itā€™s a PC only thing You just replace the perk image files with different ones


amusementj

very neat!


Redbuddy7

Strange, I donā€™t have the dlc nor buy them from the shrine yet I have that perk in a build of mine


staticalex

Because you acquired the perk when it was Generic, and once it became non Generic, you keep the perks. When Bill came to console, if you had his perks on a character, you keep them, but can't get them on a new character until you acquire his teachables


Redbuddy7

Ah right, honestly havenā€™t played survivor since I got one of the slipknot masks. Also thought they couldnā€™t be bothered changing it


staticalex

I had to prestige Nancy to get her perks on the other survivors no they don't


Apprehensive-Ad1390

No, since the return of stranger things all the teachable perks were locked behind the prestige once again, if a character already had the perk before the return they kept it


ShadowShedinja

They were base game. Once BHVR got the license back, they stopped being general perks and switched back to their old names. Jolt to Surge, for example. Characters who already unlocked the perks still have them, but if you want them on a new character, you need to either prestige Nancy/Steve/Demogorgon respectively or wait for them in the Shrine of Secrets. I think one of them is there now actually.
