    Honestly surprised Starbreeze is still around. They've monetized Payday so heavily that it drove me away from wanting to play games they release.

      Same. I was a payday 2 diehard, bought every DLC and they kept gating more and more content behind extra micro transactions. Just gross and aggravating.

    I feel like it's surprising they've taken this long. Their money printing franchise sure has gone downhill since the heyday of early to mid Payday 2.
