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.

    1. Make your game require always online connectivity
    2. Rush your development, causing network issues, bugs, missing QoL features
    3. Push ahead with monetization schemes despite problems
    4. Players vanish
    5. Surprised Pikachu face

    Congratulations Starbreeze, you made a game so shitty that it’s not even worth pirating. They will practically have to relaunch the game to reclaim the playerbase at this point.
