FAQ
Q: Why are Dead by Daylight's Steam reviews Mostly Positive again? A: Valve marked reviews from November 1–6 as off-topic and excluded them from the default Review Score, so the recent rating returned to Mostly Positive.
Q: Can I still see the off-topic reviews? A: Yes. Steam users can unmark reviews Valve flagged as off-topic; doing so shows a Mixed score instead of the default Mostly Positive rating.
Q: What caused the Dead by Daylight backlash? A: It followed Behaviour Interactive's recent work with controversial streamer TheBurntPeanut. The studio made apologetic posts, and hundreds of comments followed amid community unhappiness.
