TL;DR
New Game with huge matchmaking issues vs Older Game with no matchmaking issues
Pretty sure more people would play overwatch, warzone and cs:go if it was still around
Wasn't there issues with them bringing Payday 2 to the Epic Games Store and trying to have EGS and Steam players cross-play with each other?
Payday 2 has been around forever at this point, so it makes sense. I think it’s probably been around longer than GTA V and has been getting updates and DLC the entire time.
And it was free many times.
As someone who dipped their toe into Payday 2 and is beginning to swim in Payday 3, I’m not shocked. Payday 3 is missing a lot of quality of life features that Payday 2 has, and has a lot less content. Plus, Payday 2 has been around forever and Payday 3 is fundamentally different enough that a fair fraction of folks probably just won’t ever feel any need to switch.
That said, I think Payday 3 has a better skeleton that Payday 2, especially for new players like me, and I’m excited to see it grow (and become something more than the minimum shippable product) over time.
Eventually they’ll just force everyone to switch by shutting off payday 2
Ah, the ol’ Overwatcheroo.
This isn't blizzard were talking about.
They spent millions making the new game, they aren’t going to let everyone stay on the old forever
Your forgetting what company this is. Yes, theyre their for the money, but they're genuinly devoted to making their fan base happy. They would never pull something like that.
I wouldn't bank on that. Sooner or later every company has a fall from grace, it's what capitalism does.
They are a company that exists to make a profit, they aren't your friend.
Game with actual content vs game with no content.
Sounds about right
We (Payday 2 Players) also racked up hours upon hours (I think I am around 1000 total) and they didn't really give us anything for all that work. We got a underwhelming skin. A bare bones weapon, and some weapon charms …do they realize how hard it was to beat every heist on Deathwish without a hacker in the lobby? A Charm? For Real? Give me my deathwish mask back and I will play your new game
Oh yeah…and voice chat. How you make a game that requires players to communicate without a voice chat option is beyond me. The pings are not enough.
Is this like a math problem?
More power to you if you like it but man I cannot imagine wanting to play a game like this with strangers
Did they fix the game already?
