I've played this game since it's inception. I've spent probably more money than I should have on DLC. I've supported the devs when they've done well, and at least kept my peace when they screwed up and hoped that cooler heads will prevail.

Today I can't stay silent anymore.

For those of you who don't know, today is October 15th, 2015. It is the first day of the event for this game's second birthday. It is called Crimefest, and it is objectively terrible.

Crimefest is supposed to be a series of updates for the game to celebrate the community dedication to the title. Make no mistake, we were dedicated. This Crimefest was preceeded by a long series of challenges where the community needed to hit progressively harder goals to earn the free rewards during Crimefest. Failing to hit a goal meant that reward would not be granted.

Were you paying attention? I said "free rewards" above. Keep that in mind as I tell you about this, the first day of Crimefest.

Today we received two updates. One was a weapon rebalance, something the community has been clamoring for since a time I can't even recall anymore.

Second was something that will probably crash this game right off of the most played lists on Steam.

We got randomized safe drops in game, with the special drills needed to open them costing *only* $2.50 a piece in the Steam Marketplace!

What comes out of these safes? Weapon skins. And they're not even just cosmetic, they have an influence on weapon statistics.

That's right, we're *worse* than CS:GO now.

I've spent 721 hours on this game according to Steam. I wish I could have each and every one of them back. I wish I could have back every red cent I spent on this game and its DLC just so I could destroy it and laugh at the thought that it's money this greedy developer will never see from me.

But I can't have those things. What I can have is an opportunity to convince anyone reading this not to make the same mistake I've made.

Don't trust OVERKILL. Don't have any faith in them. They *will* screw you. Spend your money on another title, take another chance somewhere else.

This ship has sailed, and it deserves a viking funeral.
