To continue with the metaphor - I’m sure the band is not who sets the stage

Payday 2 and payday 3 we’re made by the same dev studio, but with different producers. They own the IP, they’re burning it down of their own free will.

They tried to milk payday 2 to death and it didn’t work, so they tried again with payday 3 and lost their audience.

If we’re just talking about analogy then the band is the game, the dev team is the roadies and management is the publisher? Still. They fucked the stage by their own choice.

I still remember way back when they introduced IAPs with the promise to do cosmetics only and them breaking said promise the very next update. I knew then and there to never touch that game again.
