- “May have played for only 6 hours, but trust me, if I was able to, I would definitely put way more hours into it than I have already. Honestly, it is sad to see it go, not completely as peer-to-peer will still be around, but still, as someone who was always a bit afraid to get into DBD for various reasons, to me, VHS was an easy-to-approach gameplay loop and community that made it a fun experience for the few hours played.”
