PAYDAY 3 is one of the most anticipated cooperative titles of this 2023 that will allow us to enjoy alone or accompanied by friends (or other players) a lot

The official Steam page for Deep Silver and Starbreeze’s PAYDAY 3 game has been updated to show the use of this ever-controversial third-party DRM.

Overkill blew all their money with that WW2 spin off. And it crashed so hard there was a John Cleese shaped crater where it hit rock bottom.

They were only able to make Payday 3 with significant external investment. So basically, PD3 is going to be a gutted and whored game since those investors will get significant say what goes into the game. Denuovo just being the most obvious right now.

That’s the thing, the game is already online only, why do they need anti piracy DRM on top of it?

I don’t see any reason for denuvo to impose region restrictions and I hope that isn’t the case considering online stores already do this!

I think it may be more anti-cheat than anti-piracy, but Denuvo in particular can fuck itself

The people that make money off of it’s monetization. I’ll have to assume they’ll have some sort of season pass.

IIRC payday 2 had glacially slow progression at launch. Now what if you could simply pay some (more) money to skip those boring early levels this time around?

Okay, so I wouldn’t care, but yeah if they want to sell progression…

I looked into it some more and it seems there was a “shady” script you could use to grant yourself any piece of paid dlc you wanted, so The Money People probably asked how they could ensure that doesn’t happen again and just didn’t care about the drawbacks for regular people.
