Starbreeze insists it is "working hard" to keep servers online after Payday 3 players endured a second consecutive evening of disruption.

After a three-day early access period for some players, Payday 3 released on 21st September, but players have struggled to get online at peak times due to continuing server issues that have shutdown matchmaking, making it impossible to play the always-online heist shooter.

maybe, idk, don't require servers for every aspect of your game

But how could they have it as another over monetized live service then?

[-] Callie@pawb.social 7 points 2 years ago

same way they monetized Payday 2 since it was already pretty live-service-esque in it's monetization, at least on PC. if they wanted to, they could have just added a battlepass with limited cosmetics alongside the steam marketplace cosmetics of Payday 2

Does Payday have a singleplayer mode? I thought it was a multiplayer game.

[-] Callie@pawb.social 14 points 2 years ago

yeah, it had solo. you'd case the area by yourself while 3 bots stayed behind, until alarms triggered. you could also configure who the bots were and what their loadout was

It does, but as far as I know PD3 still requires an online connection for single player. I've read issues of people lagging in single player, that's crazy.

I know payday 2 at least you could play it with yourself and 3 bots
