GG Brief Editorial Desk · AI-assisted, source attributed

Behaviour Interactive said it awarded streamer TheBurntPeanut all Dead by Daylight DLC and uploaded a four-part social-media breakdown responding to a recent Twitch stream incident. Insider Gaming reported the developer published the breakdown as a follow-up to an earlier apology and to answer community questions. The outlet said an employee gifted the DLC during a stream last weekend and that Behaviour engaged in the streamer's chat before doing 'due diligence' to decide 'if this was a good idea.' Insider Gaming also reported the streamer had uttered a slur months earlier on an Escape from Tarkov stream and that incident has since led to harassment and efforts to block his partnership opportunities.
