Starbreeze admits Payday 3 is massively underperforming (www.gamedeveloper.com)

Payday 3 launched for Windows PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X | S in September 2023 but has seemingly struggled to win over players. The title currently has a 'mixed' rating on Steam with over 36,000 user reviews, although the vast majority of recent reviews have been 'mostly negative.'

Maybe release a game when it's ready, so many of these online games are releasing broken and getting their roadmap pushed back because they have to fix it asap.

Stop blaming Devs and blame corpo above them. Can't guarantee that's the case here but it's almost always their fault rather than the Devs when things go wrong on a launch like this.

Maybe they should unionize or walkout or something, costumers can't fight their fight.

As proven with Volition, if we don't buy their game in protest they are closed down anyway instead of getting another shot at something we actually want, nothing can change from this side.

It's easier said than done tbh. It seems to be slowly changing lately tho, there's hope still.
