Bwahahahaha, the gall to charge $18 for a DLC before fixing their broken game that people are already abandoning. Surely this will make the playerbase stick around.

You know, when it launched I figured "sure, it's a clusterfuck, but we've seen worse games make a comeback", but I'm now beginning to think it might actually die

They’ve been scummy for a while now so this isn’t surprising

Does the game even work yet?

It works most of the time, and they sort of addressed the main complaint I saw, which was with the infamy system. Definitely still has some major problems, but a lot of the hate is pretty overblown.

I haven’t been following along the whole time but they wouldn’t even mention the issues forcing always online brought at launch. People quit playing so the servers caught up, but they still won’t add offline. Apparently they have absolutely no interest in the steam deck demographic.

How long ago did this game launch? Official release in September and 3 months later they're offering DLC? What are they smoking?

I still hear reports of teething problems with the game and they really are asking people who stuck with them from the start to pay up more? I guess the developers are role playing holding their players hostage in keeping with the style of Payday gameplay.
