Let’s hope so. Sad for the developers, but fuck the dumbfucks deciding to publish it in this sorry ass state.

Unless a hit TV show gets made about the game, a better show than Fallout.
Ya it’s dead.

Such a shame. I remember having a great time trying to stealth everything on max difficulty when Payday 2 came out in 2013.

I haven’t played the game but me and the buddies that used to play the absolute shit out of PD2 back in the day, we’re pretty bummed about all the negative press that the game got. Especially because since we were so hyped about it. Seems like the majority of big(ger) game releases has been disappointing one way or another.

sucks though because i got the season pass 🤡 now i get 4 dlc updates in can’t play because no one plays the game

It’s absolutely heartbreaking, was ready to put thousands of hours into it. Game beyond not ready to be released… then abused our good will toward the ip to drag their feet implementing stuff that should have been part of the game from the start (and I’m sure blew off tester advice to this effect) as well as throw their partners under the bus instead of owning up to it
They had a month after release to fix it and still work off the buzz and momentum to recapture the player base and they squandered that… we all have the attention span of squirrels now so we’ve moved on to the next game.
As I said, heartbreaking.

I’m surprised theres even that many people left playing it.
They did this to themselves.

They’ve put absolutely 0 effort into trying to make that happen, so i guess sadly not.

It needs to disappear from storefronts, be reworked, and then try to rerelease it in a proper state. Not impossible but very difficult to pull off. For now, Payday 2 will be everyone’s best bet.

Given there are 35k people playing Payday 2 and 217 playing Payday 3… Yeah it’s dead.

It’s also been on gamepass since it came out, when I did play it it was still active but that was months ago and haven’t touched it since.

Just sad to see a franchise I enjoyed so much turn into such a shitty cashgrab

I quite liked the 2nd. Although I grew tired of their greedy dlc strategy.
I tried the 3rd one during the open beta, and I didn’t see anything new to be honest.

My buddy keeps trying to get me to play it (he also doesn’t play it)
Keep pointing to the player count among other issues I’ve heard. Guess I missed out when it was popular

Why am I seeing this posted every day now?

They had years of lessons from payday 2 and they forgot basically all of it when making payday 3.

Cant say never when No Man’s Sky flopped but got revived with future updates. There’s still hope.

This is modern gaming. If a game isn’t an absolute banger with no technical issue out the gate it’s gonna lose players fast and it will be nearly impossible to recover. Some games have made it happen, but 9/10 times, players will lose interest and uninstall and never look back.

Honestly, the game could be great if they’d put great effort into fixing it’s and a sort of 2.0 re-release. Sponsor a couple streamer, and I’m sure they could start the machine again.
Although that is very unlikely that it’d actually happen and would be a massive risk for the company.

At least all time peak number is kinda nice

It’s still doing better than suicide squad.

They were big fat liars during Payday 2 days, and I’ll never forget
DevBuh
It dead dead, why woild you support the devs after this shit
Justgrp
I played this game from gamepass but ran out of content really quickly, also the only way to level up was by completing challenges, if you did not complete any you would get 0 XP after completing a heist. I don’t think it’s coming back from this.
MikeTheDude23
For a good reason. This looks like a demo made in 3 months. Fuk that shite.
igibit99
I played the open beta and it was just a buggy version of #2. Never understood why I’d pay money for something that bad.
auralbard
I want to buy this and play it. Even if it’s in a mediocre state. But I’m not getting a new game that has 300 players on it. They’ll have to get it up to 2,000 to draw my interest.
CockroachCommon2077
They’d have to do one massive update that adds pretty much what payday 2 offers for anyone to even consider playing it
phyllsdad
I hate that. I really do like Payday 3, and have even bought it for a few friends to play with me.
