It's been a tough year for Starbreeze, and for Payday 3's players, but the heist FPS has every chance of making a valiant comeback. At launch, the much-anticipated sequel to the beloved Payday 2 absolutely tanked, afflicted by so many technical issues that people literally couldn't get into a match. Even when the servers were straightened out, many gameplay features that the series faithful had come to expect were missing. Core systems had been redesigned and the general experience, compared to Payday 3's predecessors, was found wanting. Nevertheless, the crime shooter has just passed a crucial milestone, earning a 'mostly positive' Steam rating for the first time. Speaking exclusively to PCGamesN, lead producer Andreas Penniger and community head Almir Listo explain how Starbreeze is building a better future for Payday 3.
