Why did Dead by Daylight remove Demogorgon?
Dead by Daylight removed the Demogorgon from the game due to the expiration of the Stranger Things license, which was not renewed by Netflix, likely because they are venturing into the gaming industry and do not want their license to be used by a potential competitor. As a result, Behavior Interactive, the developer of Dead by Daylight, is no longer legally allowed to sell the Stranger Things DLC, which included the Demogorgon, Steve Harrington, and Nancy Wheeler characters.
