IIRC payday 2 had glacially slow progression at launch. Now what if you could simply pay some (more) money to skip those boring early levels this time around?

Okay, so I wouldn't care, but yeah if they want to sell progression…

I looked into it some more and it seems there was a "shady" script you could use to grant yourself any piece of paid dlc you wanted, so The Money People probably asked how they could ensure that doesn't happen again and just didn't care about the drawbacks for regular people.
