Legacy collection is back, but you're paying more.

[TRUMP 2024]

They deleted the legacy collection while the sale was happening, called it a fluke that needed "fixing," and returned it to the store now that the sale is over.

BUT! They lowered the discount so now you're paying roughly $30 dollars instead of $20. This is the weakest discount you're getting since 2 years ago.

Funny how it's happening now, as their failed sequel Payday 3 bleeds them dry. And they just hoped you wouldn't notice.

I'm sure some team they outsourced the pricing decisions to is to blame. Just like a 3rd party is for the botched servers, Sony for delayed updates and the players for the game failing. But definitely not Starbreeze, they didn't do anything wrong. /j

Steam has a new rule about sales. The price can't go lower than a certain amount. This is your answer.

HAHAHAHA! That or maybe the AI they use to make parts of PD3's assets can be blamed?

Complete BS. If this was the case they'd have said it ahead of time like other companies do instead of secretly pulling it with no warning, playing ignorant until people ask them about it missing and saying nothing and then being coy as if it was a mistake and bringing it back at a higher price.

Why do you keep making stuff up like this when it's surreal and doesn't fit reality or any other company's behavior?

Remember this is the company that lied about using AI art and go their influencers to lie about it for them too, Red Archer himself exposed this on YT, one of the company's official influencer partners. Can't wait to hear more made up excuses for this one too.

Hey genius, the Legacy Collection discount went from 75% to 60%. This rule never came into play.

You a paid actor or what? Doing a terrible job.

I don't think the discount is worse than previous because they're trying to pull a fast one. If you look at the discount history they have sales in-between holidays that are generally not as good if you wait until Steam's official sales. Other games do this as well. Will Overkill eventually stop discounting Payday 2 as good as it does so it doesn't cannibalize Payday 3's sales? If Payday 3 is not Free-to-Play by this time next year, totally.

Update: They brought the price back down to what it used to be. In your face to that one guy who was trying to say "hurr durr new steam rules"

This is true, however it means some people are reporting problems purchasing it as a bundle, when they already own parts of it, since it reduces the minimum price of each DLC below the threshold.

Always gotta be a hiccup somewhere I guess.

I hope they don't implement this same style of spamming their game with paid DLC in Payday 3, if that game survives. Could avoid this type of crap going forwards

A small, probably wrong, part of me wonders if the premium currency that got leaked for Payday 3 is a way around Steam's minimum pricing policy. E.g. you pay $1 for 1000 premium currency, but then Overkill charge like, 10 currency to buy a content pack in-game; therefore bypassing Steam's policy.
