Another “always online” game that forces people to connect to internet while playing single player.

Even though most people do have internet access these days, it is still not a good development when you consider some places have less stable internet than others. And also what happens to the game when the server shuts down.

    I’m not a payday person so I have no horse in this race, but this is still such utter horseshit. The more games that continue to do this where it is completely unnecessary, the further away the date is when devs stop doing this bullshit.

    but I do believe you will have to have a connection in order to play cause it’s made in the Unreal Engine, it’s using cross-progression, crossplay, I do believe we need you to be online," said Listo.

    Yup. I’m gonna wait for the crack then. Those usually enable offline play for obvious reasons

    This game went from a “maybe” to a “never” for me. Great job, Overkill.

    Whatever, PAYDAY 2 was already going to be the better game at launch, might as well make it the only one worth playing at all.
