So, as some of you may know, Overkill the developer of the once highly acclaimed Payday franchise has decided to introduce microtransactions to Payday 2, akin to CS:GO and TF2 cases.
This has created a large uproar in the community that's still in effect. In all the mess they're now releasing a new DLC pack, a tie in with the remake of Pointbreak. The game already has a shit ton of DLCs, now they added weapon skins, on top of that some of the skin have stat boosts, and to top it all off it's not a F2P game, it costs 20$.
In my anger over this I decided to post a video on the steam discussions. It was titled, Overkill's Annual Shekel Meeting.

Got banned from the forum for a while by a developer, knew it was coming, that's fine.
Got kicked from the steam group though, I didn't see that one coming. Knowing that there is exclusive content for the game, that can be gotten only by being in the group, I launched the game, to see if it would still be there.
And of course, it's not.
3 Heists, some weapons and some mods, so now I can no longer use the weapons that are moded with the mods I can no longer use, nor can I host the heists.
Forget the violation of freedom of speech, it's their forum they can moderate it however they want.
Forget them banning me from the group, and not allowing me to have the content that I previously had, for the game that I paid for, I didn't really plan on playing a game that has stat boosting microtransactions.
But, if you ever do support this company, which once listened and cared for their fanbase, know that you'll be supporting a company that's ready to step over their fans in the blink of an eye.
Thanks Almir, I hope you're happy.
