This 2024 we have experienced so many tremendous failures in the world of video games that sometimes we forget that in 2023 we had a disaster like Payday 3, which continued the story of the second part 12 years later and whose proposal did not quite hit the mark: the criticism was rather cold towards it, even saying it was completely empty<\/strong>, and the audience did not reach the numbers the studio expected. Now, a year later, they continue to insist that the game can still be saved.<\/p>\n\n\n

When Payday 3 was released last year, the game didn’t allow anyone to join online matches for several days. When the servers finally allowed it, no one was excited enough to make it a must-play or a game to return to time and again. The numbers have dropped from 1.3 million players to just 724 (right now)<\/strong>, less than 10% of those playing the second part, and that should be enough to dampen anyone’s spirits. But not Starbreeze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout these months, Starbreeze has dismissed two CEOs, which does not give a good brand image, but now they seem to believe they are in a position to give the public what it wants. In fact, they have realized that the game “suffers from a multiple personality, trying to be many things at once.”<\/strong><\/em> They have time to make the game focused, and to make each mission “more tense and valuable.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
