That guy who calls the COP pack "totally-not-a-donation" is pretty confused because at no point did the COP ever bill itself as anything but "you are spending more money than you should to get some glitzy masks because you like what we do", the ~*secret gift*~ was only announced near the end of the hypetrain event. The whole point was that it was essentially a donation!!

Come on now, are you one of those suckers that donates money and does not expect to be massively rewarded for it? What a chump. Also, seeing how Overkill already lied about microtransactions two years ago, they probably lied about everything else ever, including what the COP really is about. Wake up already!

On a more serious note: finally, these two heists are somewhat pulling the game back from Dallas-human-flesh-taste.jpg territory. Even if I sometimes feel bad for cops (those screams from being lit up, god), shooting PMC soldiers I have no issues with.

We don't need to have that dialogue because it's obvious, trivial, and has already been had a thousand times.
Almir has stated that all "collaborations" don't involve payment between overkill and their collaborators. That's actually pretty surprising, but it makes some amount of sense if Starbreeze has close corporate ties to WB/Lionsgate et al.

No. Microtransactions pay for some parts of continued support and development, not all of it. You know this. Go away.

Well, if the Black Market update was because the income from DLC sales were insufficient, they're probably getting even less than they hoped from drill sales after the backlash.

The implication was definitely that Microtransaction dollars would be taking the place of Paid DLC Pack dollars.

I mean, at least this time around about half the content being released is free...but it (once again) does not reflect particularly well on Overkill.

That's not what they said at all. Continued sales of the game and DLC packs was lower than they needed, so they bolstered it with safes and drills. They did say around the same time they wanted to have as much content free as possible, but I wouldn't expect more free content than we've seen in the past. At least the character is free this time instead of the normal $5.

In short,

Eh, at the end of the day since the start of Crimefest we've gotten six new heists, three guns, six melee weapons, twenty masks and a character/perk deck for a total of $7. That's way more than we normally get for that value.

I really wish they'd stop embedding and autoloading that 3D model viewer in their websites- it's streamlined compared to previous versions, but it still causes substantial lag to load it in.

The mask looks boss, but what do folks think of the new perk deck?

You should know that you're very, very wrong when I feel inclined to empty-quote Drewjitsu and Vox. The microtransaction model was intended to subsidize continued development, not to entirely replace paid DLC. Any reasonable individual (though apparently not many of these exist) should understand that. The system is literally working exactly as described.

The new perk deck looks alright, like a mix of Gambler and Grinder. Rather, Gambler being used by your teammates, minus the ammo pickup. Also seems like what Hitman should have been

These cops will actively aim at civilians to bag themselves a clown. They care more about capture than to protect and serve and thus they deserve to be burned alive. They even turned to contract a mercenary force which of course will betray them if a bigger paycheck is found in sustaining crime than ending it.

I doubt any of the new heists can be stealthed for thematic reasons, but we finally have our plane heist. Now all we need is a boat one and we will be criminals of the land, sea and the air.
