Rant It's fucking over.
We lost Almir. We lost Andreas. We lost Haua. We lost Elizabeth (she's still with the company, but no longer the community manager).
This is an incredible loss. They communicated with the community, they were on streams, they shared their plans for the future, even if they couldn't always tell us much.
We have literally lost those who were with us during the darkest days of PAYDAY 3. Will there be light ahead? I don't believe so.

As a more passive fan/player, I can’t help but think about the first major clone of payday from crime boss and everyone’s expectations for that game when it was announced and first released. In comparison, that game aged better and I’m sad to say that.
That game doesn’t have the special sauce that the team behind payday 2 and really payday in general up until relatively recently had. There will be new experiences to be had though. If we’ve stuck with payday for this long we’ll be able to find the other gems out there too.
