If you don’t remember from last year, Overkill, the creators of the cult classic heist game Payday 2 was under some extremely heavy fire. After the game was released for a few years already, they suddenly decided to add microtransactions, basically alienating a major part of their dedicated audience. Rampant aggressive outcry soon followed with people denouncing Overkill and claiming to boycott Payday 2 altogether. However, it wasn’t entirely the fault of Overkill as their publisher, 505 Games, sort of pressured them into inserting these microtransactions.

Good news, they got the game’s rights back from 505 Games and their very first order of business is to remove all of the microtransactions and all the additional bullshit that they were forced into doing in the name of greed. Also, maybe as a sign of goodwill, they will be bringing more consistent patched and updates to the game.

I commend Overkill for stripping the game from the injustices that they were forced to add when they could have simply kept everything just how it is and be fine. Good on ya chaps.
