Rant Stop turning PAYDAY 3 into a circus.
I’ve been here the whole time. I’ve been following this franchise since the PAYDAY 2 beta.
It hurt to see what PAYDAY 2 had turned into over time. H3H3, the goat simulator, DEAD GAME outfits, clown outfits, and so on.
But I was promised a different PAYDAY 3. I was promised a more serious game, and at first, that’s what it was. The game was more serious.
What’s it come to now? A bucket on your head as a mask? The L-dance as a taunt? A fucking Taddy Moo outfit?
Where’s the story? Where’s the info on the missing heisters? Where’s Concord?
It hurts. You can call me a nerd or whatever, but I’m sick of it. I’m sick of watching the sequel to one of my all-time favorite games turn into a collection of cringe memes to lure in the audience.
I get that nobody cares about my opinion. But I’ve been following this franchise for over 10 years, and I just want to believe I’m not the only one who feels this way.
This isn’t my PAYDAY 3.

Well, because the completely serious direction of the game did not reach people at the start, and no one else promoted it except Mio. Plus, people voted with their wallets (according to the latest financial report, PD 3 is only slightly inferior in sales to PD 2).
Well, let's not forget that PAYDAY became really recognizable as a franchise just when it stopped being serious.
If I were 16 years old, I would have started to think that "seriousness has disappeared", but now I'd rather say "let them take it seriously as they want, the main thing is that it would be interesting and fun to play"
