I've played Payday since The Heist on Ps3, when I got into pc gaming I re-bought The Heist and bought 2.
I loved both games dearly, and they were games I always played with friends, always had installed, and always followed.
I tolerated the DLC asking prices, and paid for every single one at the time of this posting.
But, after the Crimefest Day 1 update - I can't guarantee that I will ever again.
CS:GO is fine with skins because the items do NOT affect gameplay, but in Payday 2 the new stat boosts add an effect that is not only cosmetic but is gameplay altering - this isn't a marketplace addition, it's a microtransaction system.
Payday 2 was, to me, an amazing game, with varying gameplay and consistent updates - always some reason to come back. And, it still is.
However, do I wish to fiscally support this company anymore? No, and odds are I probably won't.
Overkill, if you care, you know what to do.
But you don't, do you?
