Moderator meeting with Almir. 18th 6PM CET (Central European time.)

[Ashley]

I just wanted to announce that our "demands" have been met. As a result we'll be having a public interview with Almir with me, Tessio and Jones.

We also might have JamesBlack47 who will be hosting it on either twitch or youtube. Most likely twitch. I can't confirm that however but we will know as soon as he responds.

I already have a lot of questions to ask him and the meeting will be around 1-2 hours. 2 Hours at the maximum but we can always packup early if we feel there is nothing more to discuss.

Is this because of the strike that it is being hosted on Wednesday? It sort of sounded like it would be on Monday.

Almir said he'd get back to us on Monday to explain the choices made. So monday we found out they were willing to have an interview.

It needs to be organised to a degree so we can't do it right now.

"We needed money, you see we're a small independant producer of games and we have lots of projects which means sometimes we need lots more money so we can give more money to important exciting things like mobile games and more 4 player co-op shooters. 7 co-op games is not enough we need at least 150 in production so Steam adds a category for Overkill games and we are known as the formost producer of 4 player co-op shovelware titles.

Therefore we could only spend 2-5 seconds on these skins. We love them and thought you would too, but you can' be pleased. We promise not to do this ever again and to try harder next time."

What will happen. :p

Call him out on his lies. They are NOT independant, they are NOT needing more money (cite the starbreeze financial reports) and their actions are still unacceptable.

Please don't forget that there's a lot of people who are familiar with skins/hats from CS:GO and TF2 and have nothing against microtransactions in Payday 2. Try to represent the whole community, not just the toxic "skin heiters" part.

[Max]

What happen if he dodged almost all questions and not listening to us at all? What would you guys do?


Remember ask him about Goat Simulator crossover.

Not to sound harsh, but this talk is going to be a waste of time, to be honest - just like the AMA after Crimefest was, just like Tuffcooke's interview with Almir was, and just every other interview with Almir will be. Simply put, Overkill hasn't shown that they really care about the community's opinion. They saw all the criticism they got as a result of stat-boosting microtransactions that Overkill said would never be added ("shame on you if you thought otherwise!"), and what did they do? They added a whole new category of stat boosts in the Completely Overkill Pack! He's gonna give the same canned responses to every question he gets asked.

Many of my questions will be specifically about the COP and how Overkill handled it.
