This month, Starbreeze, without noisy ads, has launched registration for Payday 2, allowing 239 rubles a month to have access to all available DLCs (for example, the exception is copyright cooperation, for example, added to the face with a scar). And if in Steam, registering mainly to evaluate users actively, the reaction of the audience on social networks is less favorable.
The player accused the developers of Greed Greed and was surprised that the game had a positive support to end more than 12 years after the release received a new method of making money. But the main thing is that the registration has appeared a few weeks after developers significantly increased the cost of day 2: The notorious collection.
Gustav Nisser, head of Starbreeze's commercial department, talked about the situation. He claims that registering exists to provide more flexibility in the exact way you can get used to the vast content of Payday 2. The company's staff also says that the increase of the cost of the notorious collection is not connected to the registration, but has realized the error – the lack of close communication with the community.
We will focus on internal coordination and proper communication with our community. The negative reaction is understandable, and the community has clearly stated how to change prices and terminology from outside.
Yes, the price of Payday 2: The notorious collection really becomes the same and temporarily discounts are valid for the ministry. Hopefully in the future Starbreeze will make the decision more balanced. Especially, the fact that many Payday 2 players just need to hack DLC without receiving any block for this.
Currently, discounts are valid over the entire franchise. At the same time, developers have released the next Payday 3 publication, including all the content that has been supported by the shot for two years. In a short trailer, they are displayed outside – the publication sold for 3795 rubles with temporary discounts on Steam.
