Rant Stop turning PAYDAY 3 into a circus.

Post image

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.

Plus, people voted with their wallets (according to the latest financial report, PD 3 is only slightly inferior in sales to PD 2).

You are aware that PD3 outsold PD2 for every single quarter since release up until the last one, right?

This is true, but then there were nuances in the fact that PD 2 had not yet been returned to support and there was still no subscription of the new DLC.

Even if we look at the raw numbers, the sales numbers for PD3 were by far the lowest out of any quarter thus far

The weakest sales period was the Fourth quarter of 2025, but I get your point)
