It’s the spooky season! And nothing says true horror like a popular video game deciding that now—despite everything we know and has come to pass—is the time to sell some NFTs.
Earlier today the Dead By Daylight Twitter account posted this tweet, saying that developers Behaviour had “worked with” a vampiric NFT licensing company to “adapt in-game models for use as NFTs.” Which really means lifting the models out of the game and selling them to suckers.
