Microtranscations "Credits" paid currancy leaked for Payday 3

[Richkiller]

Can be found in here:
https://steamassets.com/1272080

The site shows purcahsable In-Game sssets for Steam. Looks like there are these "Payday Credits" bundles that can be purchased off steam, and usually when you have these paid curruncies in games, they are used for microtranscations.

What do you guys make of this.

It leaked a few days ago and it is now mentionned in the FAQ : https://steamcommunity.com/app/1272080/discussions/0/3730702146116203384/

Not a fan of it, but they say its only for cosmetics so im not too concerned.

[Munchies]

Hahahah lol

Payday credits.

♥♥♥♥ this.

PD2 is my most played game on Steam but PD3 will go straight to the trash.

I know the devs are greedy for every penny.

Just wait for the hype to go down and they will give the game for free just like the second one ....

Q: Will PAYDAY 3 have microtransactions?
A: Yes, you can buy PAYDAY Credits separately, however these are only for purchasing additional cosmetic items. These will not affect the gameplay. The PAYDAY Credits will be added post launch.

three things that concern me about this:
1. post launch they'll retract that statement and introduce game affecting credits
2. good-looking unlockables will be only through MTX despite being a paid game
3. introduction of battlepass or sorts that will have locked content behind paywall

and let's not forget that the game has also yearly "season pass"

[Tram]

I was hyped about Payday 3 from the start, "Oh new engine and all? Oh you can properly move hostages? Neat" Then when I saw the pre-order in their store, the two season pass for 70 and 90 dollars editions, then hearing its gonna be locked weapons, heists and some skins with said season pass ie; DLC
Even then "Okay if it helps the game like Payday 2 and keeps content thats okay, still not happy"

But, hearing that theres going to be actual microtransactions and premium ingame currency, not to mention the devs handling it as a "Games as a service", going to be skipping out on Payday 3, it was a fun run crew but not taking part in this blatant greed.

Microtransactions and 12 dlc's in the first year....
I wouldn't even play that for free.

After seeing that in the FAQ that's gonna be a no buy from me, greed plain and simple. We have examples of games like Deep Rock Galactic that have none of this nonsense just the occasional DLC here and there (That's fairly rare might I add), then you have Payday 3, infested with microtransactions and a bunch of DLC's that quite frankly should just be free updates. Locking so much content behind a paywall is disgusting.

Modern gaming is great isn't it? Thankfully Deep Rock Galactic has a free update coming in a couple days with a FREE battle pass that I'm going to enjoy grinding out, at least there are some good developers/publishers out there still.

translated from a german gaming site:

When Payday 3 is released in September, it will not be a full-price game in the basic version. The co-op shooter will be released on the PC as well as on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X | S at a price of 39.99 Euros. For 30 and 50 euros more, respectively, there are two more editions that guarantee additional content. Besides a three-day pre-release access and cosmetic bonuses, there is also the Season Pass, but its scope depends on the version.

The so-called Silver Edition for 69.99 Euros only includes the Silver Season Pass, which covers the first six months of DLC. According to the Starbreeze FAQ, two Heists, two Weapon Packs and two Tailor Packs, which contain cosmetic outfits, will be released during this time. For 89.99 Euros you can buy the Gold Edition with the Gold Season Pass, which lasts a total of twelve months and doubles the number of planned DLCs, i.e. four Heists, four Weapon Packs and four Tailor Packs.

In fact, there are already twelve DLCs planned for the first year of Payday 3. According to the developers, these can also be purchased separately, for example, if you only want to play the new heists.

But that's not all, because in addition to the DLCs, there will also be microtransactions. With the so-called Payday Credits, which are not part of the Season Pass, you will be able to purchase additional cosmetic outfits in the game. However, these will not have any influence on the gameplay, the makers assure.

The Payday Credits are not yet available for the release of Payday 3, but will be added later. When exactly? The FAQ leaves that open, as well as the planned pricing structure. It is possible that details will only be announced as soon as the credits are added to the game.

ah I see so 4 heists + 4 weapon packs + 4 suits = 12 DLCs. Practically you could say it's 4 DLCs split in 3 parts. I also wonder if the heists are gonna work like PD2 where only the host could own it, or not.

My issue with DRG is that it seems like the game is walking in place, with very little new playable content added and with a growing focus towards events as a marketing tool for cosmetics.

Just like they said how pd2 wouldn't have p2w skins or anything close to it, right?

Premium curreny is against my religion.

So no matter how good or fun any game is, I won't buy it if it has anything for sale not listed on the STORE page (as it makes it impossible to know the combined price of literally everything in the game without googling and doing math).

If a texture or cosmetic goes on my SSD, I should easily know before downloading what it costs.

The fact it will be added POST launch is likely to artificially inflate initial review scores.

I almost wisihlisted this too after reading about hostage negotiations. ♥♥♥♥ my life.

I think the future of gaming is looking bright for your religion
