Press to jump
- 0:20Asmongold examines whether DbD Pulse's statements represent the game's developer.
- 3:51A stream clip shows TheBurntPeanut discovering that all characters have been unlocked on his account.
- 6:08He reads DbD Pulse's apology addressing the gift and concerns about streamer conduct.
- 14:05Another creator's post threatens to leave the creator program over the studio's initial handling.
- 17:22Asmongold argues that studios should prioritize protecting staff against harassment and doxxing.
- 23:25He concludes by advising viewers against picking up Dead by Daylight.
TheBurntPeanut opens his Dead by Daylight account and discovers a surprise: all the characters are available. "I just got all the guys!" he says in the clip Asmongold plays. What follows is considerably less celebratory.
Asmongold's reaction to the backlash over that gift has drawn about two million views since yesterday. Posted on Asmongold TV, the stream segment follows social posts, a studio-linked apology and objections from other creators before arriving at his central argument: companies should defend employees against harassment rather than try to satisfy every demand for an apology.
He first examines who is speaking through the DbD Pulse account and how closely its statements represent developer Behaviour Interactive. He then reads its apology addressing the gift and concerns about streamer conduct. Critics object to the company's association with TheBurntPeanut; one post he reviews threatens to leave its creator program over the initial response.
Asmongold sees the apology as a mistake. He argues that giving ground to grievance-driven critics hands them influence over a game's culture, rather than resolving their objections. That is his interpretation of the posts, not a finding about everyone raising concerns.
His proposed response is forceful: studios should protect their workers and take action against accounts involved in doxxing or harassment. By the closing minutes, he has moved beyond defending the character unlocks to discouraging viewers from picking up Dead by Daylight at all.
