I have no idea what is a reasonable price for a game like this, but the price seems a tad bit expensive since I don't know what to expect, and the fact that the game will probably lack content for the first few months (Or possibly never without the season passes).
I'm still excited to see a much more optimized and refined Payday. And although I don't like DLCs, I think how Payday 2 does DLCs is pretty reasonable. I just hope Payday 3 does something similar and doesn't do a subscription/microtransaction based model.
I wonder what you can do in cases like this, contact the lemmy.ml admin? This place isn't going to go anywhere if there are no mods running it.
