The price of the Infamous Collection took a big jump just a few weeks ahead of the rollout of a new DLC subscription service.
Starbreeze rolled out a new subscription service for Payday 2 DLC yesterday, which struck me as a pretty good deal: $5 per month for every piece of DLC currently available, and you can subscribe and cancel as you see fit. But the launch turned a less-than-flattering spotlight on another recent Payday 2 development: A significant increase in the price of the Infamous Collection, a bundle of all current Payday 2 DLC that players can buy outright.
A few weeks before the launch of the subscription service, the Infamous Collection jumped from $118 to $170, a steep increase that many players assumed was meant to funnel them toward the subscription service. Gustav Nisser, Starbreeze’s head of commercial, said there was no connection—that the timing was simply “unfortunate,” and the studio had “dropped the ball” on keeping fans in the loop.
