I mean the stats speak for themselves tbh…

Payday 2 Peak concurrent players yesterday: 22,338

Payday 3 Peak concurrent players yesterday: 656

Considering how they completely messed up the launch of Payday 3, and then furthermore saying since (among other things) that they’d work on including an offline mode, only to decide after about 20 months that they’re not gonna do it after all due to “it wasn’t a feasible route for us” (Steam news) proves to me that they’re only thinking about the money, not the player. And fortunately, as with most companies who focus purely on the money, they get dumped by the userbase for it, as evident in the other comment here.

An article about it.

Making more is better than making less. Correct?
