Talk:Payday 2

Microtransaction Backlash

This is less a coherent thought and more of a collection of articles, sources and things to include as I go.

• Microtransactions Announced
  • Kotaku - Kotaku Editorial - Kotaku again
• Mods Protest and Completely Overkill Pack
  • Eurogamer
  • Gamespot

Source paraphrase

A question on this paraphrase: "In response, Steam community moderators for Payday started a protest against this treatment of fans and abuse by fans by refusing to moderate the community until granted an interview with Almir Listo, producer of the game". The Eurogamer article supports the moderator's resignation, but does not give any indication as to their demands. However, the Gamespot article supports both of these statements, but does not specifically mention Almir Listo (quote: "The Steam moderation team for Payday 2 has stated it will no longer work unless it can hold an interview with the development team"). Perhaps this can be reworded? 2602:306:3BBE:2E60:4938:5BFA:543:3665 (talk) 04:17, 20 November 2015 (UTC)

Well this might be some of my foreknowledge getting ahead of me. Almir was the guy who gave the interview in the first place which happened that week. Zero Serenity ^{(talk - contributions)} 21:12, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
