You know? I actually liked Payday 2. I supported it and from time to time binge watched videos of it, from the likes of MarioInATopHat or MalicousCarrot, they were pretty good. I thoroughly enjoyed the game and occasionally bought the DLC for it as it wasn't too game changing, albeit you had to own the heist DLC in order to start the heist. This case, I mean, safe microtransaction fiasco is horrendous for a company like this.

Safe microtransations, exactly what this game needed. A skin system that is pretty much the same as CSGO, apart from even worse as these actually have different stats, unlike CSGO where they were just cosmetics. It's bad, real bad. Killing Floor had cosmetic skins, it was fine, CSGO had cosmetic skins, it was fine. TF2 had skins (and hats) that you could pay for, but the thing that made this OK was the fact that you can literally get them in random drops. Payday 2 and OVERKILL has just handled this the wrong way. £1.60 for a drill? No thanks.

It's sad to see OVERKILL go down like this but I feel that they've been letting themselves go down in the toilet for quite some time now due to the sheer amount of DLC they have released on what might seem like a routine. OVERKILL, you have my money, a lot of it in fact, but that doesn't stop you from being the power hungry and quite frankly, the greedy pigs, that you are.

I don't plan on playing this game again, or at least not until they fix it ALL and release a PUBLIC apology. Ludvig, Goldfarb, Ulf, Viklund and the rest of the guys that made this and the prior game good, I thank you for the fun I've had and I wish you the best of luck with other things. Except you, Almir, I used to like you, but now you're just a money slag.
