Payday 2 The Starbreeze developer has introduced a novel subscription service to a 12-year-old robbery shooter, packing “full access to over 65 DLC, full of seizures, weapons and cosmetics” too low monthly cost “$ 4.99 per month or $ 19.99 for six months. Currently, there are no options for three-year-old or 12-month subscription.
The company said that the subscription would allow players to “examine the mass library of Payday 2 content at their own pace, mastering the art of the attacker of one crime at once”, and the subscription – available via Steam – “can be canceled at any time.”
“With over a decade of content for Payday 2, we want to provide players with greater flexibility in how they experience games,” said Gustav Nisser, a commercial head in Starbreeze. “The subscription service makes enjoying everything that Payday 2 has to offer-not meaninglessly whether you are novel in the game or you are coming back to DLC exploration that you have not yet played. At the same time, all existing DLCs remain available for purchase. The point is to give players a greater selection.”
Most importantly, the subscription conditions indicate that it only applies to “all currently available DLC Payday 2 DLC, if you are subscribed”, leaving some players wondering whether this will include potentially new DLC, which will come, because Starbreeeze still periodically publishes new content for the game, recently with primitive awakening in 2023.
“I understand the idea and honesty, it is not terrible, novel players can subscribe for a month and see what all this is about without full committing” commented One player. “Some can play in the game on and off, so instead of spending all this Dosh immediately, they subscribe for months, they want to play.
“The problem is that the DLC package has recently been wandered, DLC is not so spectacular, and some of the DLC are stupid too small (for example, having 2-3 pistols for $ 10, and for example from the back). It’s absurd)
“I wouldn’t even mind if they had not raised packages” he said Someone else.
The package they refer Payday 2 Infamous CollectionA package containing each DLC issued since 2013. Quietly increased the price from the infamous collection by 50%, walking from 100 to 150 USD without a formal notification.
“In addition, when the latest novel assault for Payday 3 is more costly than usual, how do we know that the same will not happen in Payday 3 with DLC and DLC packages in the future?
He is also worried that Starbreeze has not said about it yet. “
“It annoys me that such changes are introduced quietly, as if I hope that nobody will notice,” he added otherto which someone replied: “It really seems that they are just trying to slide him in the radar and see if they can escape with him without much turmoil. This kind of things will destroy good will.”
At the time of writing, Starbreeze apparently did not react publicly to fans’ fears.
When Payday 3 Published in September 2023, we thought that his cooperative seizures “take place strongly, even if the vault is a bit bare at the moment.” He returned a good 7/10.
