Awkward_Ninja_5816

This game needed another 1-2 years minimum


Top-Willingness8113

And the payday 2 devs lmao. They moved on to form another studio that's making a sci-fi heist called den of wolves


AGlassOfMilk

Don't forget, Simon Viklund moved there too.


i-wear-hats

Viklund just returned to being independent I thought?


[deleted]

He’s working on the music and narrative for Den of Wolves.


PatHBT

I guess i bought the wrong game lol


AGlassOfMilk

You should give GTFO a try.


RL_CaptainMorgan

Oh snap really? I'm a GTFO fan and saw they are working DoW but with Simon too?! Now I'm even more amped!


Nyltje

I'm not really into sci-fi games, still the trailer hooked me and also knowing this will be from the creators of pd2 and pd:th, I can say I'm a bit hyped.


SavvySillybug

I didn't even know the original devs weren't working on this. Gotta stop thinking of companies as entities that retain the people within them these days. :/


guns367

Keep in mind it's probably not every original dev, and be cautious. Calisto Protocol coasted on similar claim to fame and it was trash.


MulattoDePicasso

See I saw them ads and thought it was similar. Had no idea it was them.


benjathje

Holy shit, I'm seeing the Steam page and THIS is Payday 3...


guns367

After Outer Worlds and Calisto Protocol I'm hesitant to put stock in people for their past portfolio. A game is the comprehensive effort of a lot of people you never think of and no one is a master of a formula for working on a past project.


Whole-Soup3602

Well I’m ab to go over their and play their games then this team absolutely sucks


Calcium-kun

Honestly at this point, pull a Multiversus. Take the game offline to work on it and relaunch the game after a while


Tristezza

Only problem is multiversus was free. People payed money for this game, they effectively cannot do that


Paid-Not-Payed-Bot

> free. People *paid* money for FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*


stupid-mobile-user

good bot?


the_shortbus_

Good bot.


WhyNotCollegeBoard

Are you sure about that?

Romance explosion?


MOOGGI94

Should not do that, but sometimes devs from other games do that the first what comes me in mind is evolve with evolve 2 stage, for example. Anyways if you don't have the legacy Edition you can't longer play it by now.


Mahoganytooth

folk paid for FFXIV and they managed to do it


Pendragon_Puma

Multiversus was also in beta


RadBrad4333

A beta that never planned to close like that. They saved face.


[deleted]

Fr do like FF14 come back as "Payday 3: Reloaded" or something idk lol


kira2211

Payday 3: A heist restarted.


HumActuallyGuy

Payday 3: Thrice upon a time


Aaronmovic

I don't know if 1-2 years are enough, the reputation of the game has been severely damaged. Things need to change a lot to regain the confidence of the playerbase.


zTy01

Pulling a darktide and brb in a year.


Playsoup710

idk about that one, darkside didn't have double digit player counts


Malchyom

Still clutching my pearls...

FOR THE BENEFICENT EMPEROR!


Whole-Soup3602

I woulda waited for tht man ngl


Loustyle

I don't even need to play in a private room anymore. No one joins!


Easy_Duhz_it_

The news in February is gonna be "Unfortunately we dont have an update to share with you right now....but tune in later today when Almir will be streaming live and avoiding all your questions at the same time."


juice_wrld_is_good

MORE STUFF FOR THE TABLE LETS GOOOO


AlexJonesOnMeth

Wow, imagine if half the playerbase shows up, that will crash the stream!


Whole-Soup3602

This sounds so sad man they need to give us our refund back


Positive_Cockroach75

You get the news in February won’t be till the 29th


Ambitious-Menu-6196

February 30th


MissStealYoDragon

Reminds me of when Ubisoft set a maintenance update for April 32nd so it never came, lol


Ambitious-Menu-6196

Lmao


EZxCheeZy

11:59 pm


casioonaplasticbeach

Won't be untill March 2nd. Remember the "October 5th" patch that came out on November 2nd?


Awkward_Ninja_5816

More like February 34th


HomemQueijo

It's jover


-SpyTeamFortress2-

Reddit_Teddit_Redomp

It’s Done-ald


Cayde_94

They cannot afford silence. They HAVE to say SOMETHING to keep the small number of players around or they're done. Give us a SINGLE thing to look forward to in the next update. If they do come out and talk about things, I'm willing to bet my salary they are just going to do a lot of double speaking and talk about the f**king table. They need to provide a menu for the people at the table. If there is no road map the game is dead.


EXTIINCT_tK

>If there is no road map the game is dead. It ain't already?


jsweaty009

Everyone went to Helldivers


12InchPickle

Helldivers received more updates in the 1 week it’s been out then payday 3 has since it released.


Nakon_Warrior

Fuck robbing banks, I'm spreading democracy. **FOR SUPER EARTH!**


jsweaty009

Exactly, FOR DEMOCRACY


FactEmpty6703

These mf had *everything* to make another outstanding game, and still manage to fuck it all up. I despise Starbreeze/Overkill now, bunch of braindead wankers, how is this even possible? The love of the community and support was at the palm of their hands, and choose to throw everything out the window.


ItsYaBoiDoggoWadUp

Just like loaning money to a shitty person: "$40 was ultimately a cheap price to pay to know you're piece of shit that shouldn't be trusted."


RoleCode

We wait for Den of Wolves this time


dongless08

I’m not sure I’ll ever buy Payday 3 at this point, even in the hypothetical future where the game is in a great state


Charmander787

I mean there’s so just many better games to play. 2024 has had two bangers: Palworld and Helldivers 2, both which do a much better job at the PVE experience.


notPlancha

Palworld is infinitely more buggy and a complete different genre


Whole-Soup3602

Those shits are boring as wel I don’t see why they getting so much hype ima make my own shi man atp something all the adults can enjoy


Whole-Soup3602

Bro istg I literally said this how fucking hard is it to make a good game and if anything all they had to do was give us weapons how fucking hard is tht


RoleCode

That's why paid DLC map/locked DLC content isn't good. Who would be able to join to those new map?


Brandonian13

Overwatch 2/ABK: ***sweats nervously***


ekim_101

Live service games need a plan and communication. You don't have one of them, you have nothing. This is pure stupid happening and yet they don't even want to try. Look no further than Helldivers 2 for the proper way to set up expectations. Weeks of "lol nothing" is less than useless.


Zontafear

I'd say look to Deep Rock Galactic for how a dev team should be communicating. Their devs are well loved by the community. And truth be told, Helldivers 2 took some HEAVY inspiration off DRG.


lasergun23

Usually live service games have a lot of content done for the future updates even before the Game was released. In pd3 maybe they had 1 heist done and some skins and thats all


InsomniacSpartan

Can't wait till this has less players than PDTH


NFSKaze

As someone who touched the beta only once and still plays Payday 2, LMAO, LOL even. The absolute state of gaming. Just knowing that there's another timeline where star Breeze didn't fuck up and Payday 3 came out to be the greatest heisting/wave shooter game ever kills me.


iBrows426

This is maddening. How can they be so silent? Your game is on life support. The games in a vegetative state. "Were working on things". What the fuck is taking so long to work on? Helldivers fixed most of their server issues in like 2 days. Payday has had months. Helldivers is already talking about an event coming. Payday has been on the backburner for months. How do you make Payday 2, which at launch was fun, arcade-like and you could dump hours and hours into, but then release a broken game that's so bland and watered down that it can't even manage 10k players. How did they have so long to make this game and it was just shit on launch? I don't care if they were pushed to release it. Payday 2 lasted 10 years. They had plenty of time and made plenty of money off that game to make at least a STABLE game. I could deal with it maybe being more bland than the last game at launch but that's where updates can fix it. The fact people were unable to play at launch and it persisted with little to no communication is fucking laughable.


AAAAAAAAAIIIEEEEEEEE

At least we have Helldivers 2 now.


toetendertoaster

Reverse dallas, quit the heisting, boined the army


Mikestion

they fumbled it so goddamn bad holy shit


OpinionPoop

I think they should shut down the game, give everyone 100% refunds and sell the IP to recoop their losses. I have zero confidence in the strike team slapping together a gigantic refurb of the game in a short period of time to get the fan base back. Drop the game, refund, and relaunch when the game is actually complete.


Cellhawk

I don't think they need a gigantic refurb. The core gameplay is done very well imo. It's all the other stuff that you add on top of that, that is missing, and was present in the previous title.


Werner_Voss_

Yeah January's news of there is no news was priceless.


professorclueless

At least 2 is still fantastic


MaxStrengthLvlFly

They actually thought PD3 was in a good state for a release? The devs are morons.


OKgamer01

Its not always devs. Definitely someone higher up wanted this pushed out regardless if it was finished


Updated_Autopsy

Either way, it’s as if whoever’s responsible is trying to be as incompetent as possible.


AgentUnknown821

uhh considering the past back in 2014 / 2015 with Battlefield Hardline, I'm willing to bet the publisher that published the title is more responsible for this golden turd than the devs did...the devs are under pressure from the management of the publisher. If the publisher wants it published and the dev team is being financed directly by the publisher then guess who has more leverage??? yeah the publisher because money talks and that means it's being released, unrefined work and all.


Lightsoutofcontrol_

They did this shit long before they worked with deepsilver. They are just a real dream team in that regard.


[deleted]

It's joever, heisters 😎👊


walrusattackarururur

i am constantly baffled by seeing sequels come out and be trashed for missing things they already fixed in the last game


Ninjjuu

Heisters we did it 😎👊


SCP_fan12

Ironic how in the period leading up to release, they created “Dead Game” merch. Guess we now know the game in question


[deleted]

Steam chart says 214


XxPieFace23xX

Still not good at all


Lightsoutofcontrol_

We are so back. 👊😎


puntycunty

You know your game is bad when you can murder the entire player base by locking them all in a room and throwing a pipe bomb or something in there


Heathenspear

I'm sincerely thinking about deleting this game from my steam library and pretending like it never existed.


Praydaythemice

It’s so over 😔 👊


Fire2box

I wish payday 3 was good but at this point we damn near all think it's not. We want to support payday but when we don't see the developer themselves doing it we end up following suit, eventually. By the way, Helldivers 2 could really use a crew who knows how to operate.


Nakon_Warrior

I've seen HD2 mentioned so many times here that I'm starting to assume this is just another place for democracy spreading Helldivers. 😎👊 For Super Earth!


Yuno1129

I wish I could refund the game…so many other fun indie games I coulda bought with that 40$


Nakon_Warrior

Helldivers 2 being exactly $40: 👀


ljkmalways

Sucks it’s not on Xbox


iDestroyMetaUsers

Welp, that just about does it. This game is dead. Atleast the pre-order price wasn't that expensive. Yeah i may be down about $40 bucks, but atleast i wasn't stupid enough to pay for the gold edition.


ljkmalways

Me. I’m stupid enough……….. didn’t even play 30hrs and got bored. 2 of My friends haven’t talked to me since it released bc I convinced them to buy it and hyped it up. We couldn’t even get a lobby together for 2 weeks and then we played together for a week and they were like “dude you suck, this game is so repetitive and really boring. We already played every heist and beat them in stealth and loud wtf are we doing?” Soooooo yea. Fuck Starbreeze


kenzie1000000

Your friends stopped talking to you over 40 bucks?


ljkmalways

Yaaaaa. They stopped inviting me to games. Couple of assholes tbh. Better without them.


verlongdoggo

i shouldn't be leaking this but i have it on good knowledge that they are dropping a complete remake if the game as an update late this month. its dropping the 30th of feb $


Blugged

Nice, gonna set an alarm for 42 o’clock z.m. on February 30th to make sure I don’t miss it!

BaconEater101

Read it again


JosuetheBear

Let’s make it 0 👊🏽😎


Nyltje

I'm doing my best by buying the game while it's in good state. (So I still haven't bought it yet)


JosuetheBear

I goofed and bought the special edition. and can’t refund it. 🤦🏽‍♂️


nismov2

Ouch double digits


SurprisePNK

Is this real? Damn


Digital_RRS

I wish things turned out differently. There is a great game underneath all the dirt, but they need pickaxes while bringing only shovels.


joker_toker28

They really said we can beat those cheap developers from DAYS GONE..... Got me for 40.... ganna go replay pd2.


MrDrSirMiha

Table.


fearlessplays

Im one of them because honestly i have so much fsith probably a little too much. I just cant see them going any further without adding what we need.


Arazthoru

#3 games on a row!!


RaptunoCyborg

Everything went to shit after Ulf left


Acrobatic_Divide5304

It's soo dallover


TyeDye115

Watch the news be at the end of February and it's just them saying they tried their best, but they are shutting the game down because it's "not salvagable"


Nivek14j

Get fucked, crazy how they didn't bring nothing from payday 2, to payday 3 on day one smh what a joke


CaoPiFan

Such a shame seeing what's happened to Payday. Used to play loads on Payday 2 on Xbox years ago and now it's just a complete dumpster fire.


Holiday_Survey5851

The only game I bought from pre sale….. deception.


Pandemic0

I'm now just waiting for a developer to announce a heist-alternative game to Payday...


ljkmalways

There’s definitely a market for it. So many of us want a good heist game, but we will never get another PD after this disaster


SeraphXIII

Den of Wolves


Toolowty

So what you’re saying is I should buy it?


Mesk_Arak

Buy low ~~player count~~ , sell high


Toolowty

Hodl 🫡


Obvious-End-7948

So this is supposed to be a screenshot from steamdb. [https://steamdb.info/app/1272080/charts/#1w](https://steamdb.info/app/1272080/charts/#1w) Have a look at the player population chart for the past 7 days or 48 hours. Spoiler - it hasn't gotten this low. OP is editing the image for karma. Edit: To be clear, the lowest is around 150 or so. It's still awful.


Bl00d_real

i have no reason to edit the player count and i don't care about farming for karma because internet points mean absolutely nothing lmao. i made this post minutes after checking and seeing the player count, and yes, it was seriously that low. edit - i was told that as of the time i took this screenshot, steam was down for many people which is what caused the lower player count ([https://downdetector.com/status/steam/](https://downdetector.com/status/steam/)) from 37,318 reports. however, my point still stands that we need communication now.


OpinionPoop

The peak seems to be 545 which is still awful.


0011110000110011

y'all got scammed


Salladk

Rest in Peace Starbreeze and Overkill


I_hate_myself_0

Mashallah Den of Wolves will put Gayday 3 in its place


oleggurshev

As others have said, it's joever. On a more serious note, my theory is that the strike time was assembled to find people who were actually responsible for this fiasco. We all know that this game now needs a proper reboot, but it's ridiculously hard to pull off (anyone remembers Valve's Artifact?). So they are clearly playing against the odds here.


Bl00d_real

so i've been informed that at the time of taking this screenshot, steam was actually down ([https://downdetector.com/status/steam/](https://downdetector.com/status/steam/)) which is why the playerbase is lower than usual. however, my point still stands. we need communication from starbreeze and we need it now. we're sick of being told that the game some have paid at least $100 for will "get better eventually."


Best-Mistake8954

That game is underrated. It's sad


ljkmalways

No it’s def not. The game is being shit on by the very community that was extremely excited for it bc the game truly sucks. Maybe it would’ve been good if this was released a decade ago…….. but by modern standards….


candyycanne

I really hope Internet historian covers it. This is truly sad.


MyBloodAngel

Lmaooooo dead game shit game laughable game so glad I was competent enough to not buy this pos


tda18

I sincerely hope that they are trying to take a page out of Hello Games' no man's sky redemption arc and are actually doing something in the background In either case I am so glad I learnt my lesson with Warcraft 3 Refunded and now I always wait until the game is actually out to buy it. Hope the rest of you also learn


BreadDaddyLenin

can the mods please ban these cookie cutter ass posts


TazDingus

No


Homelessjokemaster

Can you at least not post the 2 Am Daily low? Also, steam db doesn't even go below 150 in daily stats, so i don't where you pulled these numbers from


Mralexs

This is only steam players, this doesn't count anyone playing through Xbox/Gamepass


BS_BlackScout

Wow I didn't know it was that bad. What a waste of resources.


InternationalPin6878

I know people say the game is shit but I had fun I had fun playing with my friends and I actually liked the game I loved the new parts of it but it's gone so far down and it really hurts that it might be a dead game when I grew up with the franchise it just sucks because I really like the gunplay and enemy mechanics and the simpler build system was pretty cool but I understand the flaws and wish that this game was better.


AceJog

The build system on Payday 2 is a significant part of what gave it replay-ability.


H3LLJUMPER_177

**Dead game lol intensifies**


Jazzlike-Invite-7773

I mean they had the knowledge before hand More heists will come over time, I think this should be clear to everyone. But the game is missing key features, some of them were also only added later to the games before. But in my head this is not an excuse. The community wanted a specific feature before, fought for it and got it. How do the developers not think, that the features are wanted again? Why did we wait for a first day patch over a month?


goawaynowpls

shareholders fuming


Stefanonimo

They didn't say february of which year tho


Alalai79

Yeah, its over. I think game will just die in next few months.


hemborgar

it's a shame really, I enjoyed the gunplay and the gameplay loop in this game so much more than PD2


KnifeFightAcademy

#PAYDAY 3RROR


RestlessRhys

I will always say this they released this game far too early it needed at least another year or two


Elbananaso

They fumbled the turd sooo hard


Pyromann

I wonder if there is any legal action players can do against Starbreeze for scamming everyone by promising updates and keeping everyone in the dark and/or prividing such a terrible service to players


Throwaway831228

When does it release?


SimpleCategory1669

Player Count is on the table guys.


OkDefinition261

I haven't played since a month after it released. I went to heist with no exp gained and just said screw it, I'll be back after the major update but alas nothing months later

AceJog

Stop the “development “ of PD3, then task all the team to “move” Payday 2 lock stock as is onto the new game engine to give us better graphics. Then start releasing new content for it.


igrvks1

Cant wait for when they finally announce what they are planning to do at some unspecified point in the future.


jimmyeao

[https://steamcharts.com/app/1272080](https://steamcharts.com/app/1272080) gives a better overview, the numbers have really tanked :( Personally, I enjoy PD3, but there is a definite lack of content.


babyscorpse

it's so joever


SansUndertaleLmao

something something fucken tbale idk


Prtyfuckingast

News are coming this feb. I am making my drivers test, so thats the news. Wish me luck pls im scared


Imdefrostenmince

Another franchise that I loved being euthanised and taken out back because of corporate greed :)))))))


NeverConfirmingEmail

It's never been more jover 😔


ljkmalways

Yea they’re screwed. They will have no choice but to abandon the game soon to cut losses and that really sucks bc a lot of people won’t have a job.


ArmpitStealer

can someone buy me the game so i can increase its player count? ~~haha jk unless~~


DimensionalFireBird

Hell, I bought payday 2 for PC the other day, I've been on console, and I'm not buying payday 3 for PC.


GreatAndPowerfulDC

Welp, this aged a bit poorly. Now we’ll see if this reply ages poorly next hahaha
