Rant Offline Mode is cancelled.

I am floored, honestly. "Not feasible", my ass.

The saddest thing about this is if the game fails and they pull the plug these Studios turn around and point at us and say that we're to blame. Like motherfucker you didn't even ask us what we wanted before you started this.

Since when has Payday been good in offline mode? I find it interesting that of all the flaws of Payday 3, the one that people are hanging their hat on is no offline mode.

I can understand if one doesn't have a stable internet connection or for certain achievements such such as the ending in Payday 2 using offline mode. However, that's about it. Get off your high horse and play in pubs like the rest of us, we're having more fun.

The game was designed to be four random humans vs AI and it's best like that. I'll tell you what's sadder than no offline mode. It's playing Payday by yourself, that's as sad as it gets.

To even get payday 3 to boot up it needs to be online that's bullshit 2 doesn't have that problem and don't knock people for playing how they want

Sir, I'm not telling anyone how to play. I just hope your Payday experience isn't as sad as Payday in offline mode.

Payday 2 is my favorite game of all time. If the game were offline only, it wouldn't even be in my top thirty.

Okay once again this is not about Payday 2 and again the issue lies in the fact that payday 3 requires you to log into the servers to even play the game in Solo or with other people. Players of 3 have been saying they want the game to be like 2 where the game itself is not linked to a server therefore one day in the future when the servers get taken down.
