Dear @DeadbyDaylight @Behaviour: You told a streamer “WE CAN TAKE THE HEAT. THEY ARE YOURS TO KEEP.” Then you folded the moment a vocal portion of your community demanded it. You gifted TheBurntPeanut content during his first stream, then treated unfounded and exaggerated claims about his character as gospel. You stripped the content, issued statements that effectively accepted the framing that associating with him with violated your values, and apologized to the people who were most offended. All-the-while the employee who made the call was being doxxed and threatened by that same community you were kneeling in front of. You did not meaningfully defend your own staff. You did not require evidence before punishing the streamer and his audience, or admonishing them all publicly as if they were some toxin. You did not stand by the clear statement your official account made. Instead you rewrote the rules after the fact to prioritize the loudest moral demands over process, fairness, and basic employee protection. In no way was this leadership. It was capitulation. A company that claims to value its community should not treat one segment’s outrage as the final word, nor leave its own people exposed while it grovels to the mob. An apology is owed... to Peanut, to his community for the baseless character attacks you legitimized, and especially to the employee you failed to defend. Do better.
