Key Points:
- Dead by Daylight's Steam reviews have shifted back to "Mostly Positive" after Valve excluded a set of off-topic reviews from November 1–6 linked to backlash against streamer TheBurntPeanut, which had caused a drop in favorability.
- Valve marked these reviews as off-topic because they were deemed unrelated to the actual gameplay experience, a measure aimed at combating review-bombing campaigns by identifying anomalous review activity in real-time.
- Despite the restored positive rating, many fans remain unhappy with Behaviour Interactive due to the controversy and customer service issues, expressing their dissatisfaction on social media.
- Behaviour Interactive removed gifted content from TheBurntPeanut's account and promised to take appropriate action related to the incident, while also recently removing the Child's Play Killer Chucky character from sale.
- Valve's detailed review moderation process remains partly opaque, with Behaviour declining to discuss platform review procedures, and Valve yet to provide further comment on the recent situation.
