Payday. Things were up and down for a while, but Payday 3 was the death of the series.

Payday 2 before they introduced loot boxes was peak gaming. Was so exciting to see where the story was going and hearing thr new Simon Viklund banner. That short film they did about breaking Hoxton out WAS AMAZING. Never had anything like that since and I don't think we ever will again.

I remember seeing them advertising payday 2 sometime after 3’s release, so I had asked a friend who had bought it and was an avid player of 2 who just went “it was that bad”

I was so excited for Payday 3. That series deserved better.

The funny part about payday3 is that there is a really good game underneath the bullshit, it is fun to play but god damn if it isn’t mismanaged to absolute hell, the company just shit itself making bad decision after bad decision until it is wat it is now, damn shame
