Starbreeze releases their Q4 report; announces focus on PayDay with active dicussions about Payday 3 Anonymous 02/11/20 (Tue) 16:34:55 d55590 No.16838359

It's some super dry reading so I'll post the relevant parts

>PayDay accounted for over 1/3rd of Starbreeze's revenue for 2019 (KR 109.4 million)

>only KR 34.1 million was generated from The Walking Dead

>they only mentioned OVERKILL's The Walking Dead three times, but mentioned PayDay 46

>their profit was -452,424

>PayDay 2 DLC generated higher than expected sales and player numbers

>currently planning two new games: PAYDAY 3 and PAYDAY: Crime War

>PAYDAY: Crime War

And why do I have the sinking feelings it's another hero shooter like Rainbow Siege?

No big surprise that got shitcanned. It was basically just another OTWD waiting to happen(Announced for the never finished valhalla engine, based on a licensed IP, etc.)

>currently planning two new games: PAYDAY 3 and PAYDAY: Crime War

Payday Crime War actually released months ago, and has been a thing since around Overkill the Walking Dead released. it's just the publisher decided to shut the fuck down in just a few months after the actual public release, so they have to rerelease it.

It's a Mobile FPS, 4v4 PvP with only Death Match and King of the Hill. The 4 heisters and cops had different abilities, but there wasn't an absurd selection of them.

Why can't they make a game that isn't a reskin of Payday?

Because the only people who actually worked on games that weren't 4-player co-op games left the company.

Because their non-payday team all quit the company to go make Wokenstein, and what's left were too busy blowing all their money on VR, licensed IPs, and game engines that don't fucking work.

Nah, some of them went to work on Back 4 Blood with some of the ex-Left 4 Dead guys and the some joined Ulf on his project GTFO, which has its own flaws

The rest went off to do a ton of different things

There's early access, then there's early access. GTFO is the latter.
