Still collecting responses: How DDoS attacks impact DBD players

Discussion

Hi everyone ♡

Reposting this since a couple of weeks have passed and I’m still collecting responses, thank you so much to everyone who’s already taken part!

I’m a long-time Dead by Daylight player and care deeply about this community. After the recent events during the BHVR stream, I’m conducting academic research on how DDoS attacks affect user experience in DBD.

You don’t need to be a network engineer to take this: if you think you’ve been hit by a DDoS (sudden lag, random kicks, weird in-game chaos), that’s good enough.

The questionnaire takes about 5 minutes and is fully anonymous. . If the study goes well, I plan to publish the results in a scientific journal (aiming for the International Journal of Human-Computer Interaction) to raise awareness of how these attacks affect the community.

Thanks again for your time!
