  "account": "Behaviour Interactive announced that all Chucky content from Dead by Daylight will no longer be available for purchase starting November 24, 2026. The change comes just months after the studio lost the rights to Michael Myers. Chucky fans are reacting with disappointment, especially since the Killer, known as The Good Guy, has been a unique addition to the game. Players will still be able to use Chucky content they unlocked before the removal date, but it will be taken off the shelves. Behaviour has scheduled a \"Last Chance\" sale for Chucky-related items until that removal date, slashing prices by 50%. The studio has previously removed Killers like Pinhead and Michael Myers, and fans are now questioning their ability to secure new licenses. Despite losing three Killers in a short period, Behaviour continues to add new characters and franchises to the game.",
