Payday 2 introducerede mikrotransaktioner tilbage i november 2015, noget som Overkill Software havde lovet ikke ville finde vej til Payday 2.
Det skabte store oprør på internettet, og efter et halvt år ser det ud til at udvikleren har reageret på de utilfredse spillere. I næste opdatering vil alle mikrotransaktioner nemlig blive fjernet, da Starbreeze Studios har overtaget Payday-franchisen fra udgiveren 505 Games.
Udvikleren fortæller om dette i denne Youtube video:
"We are freeing up the black market. Starting with the next update in {Payday 2}, any old-generation safes in the loot drop will stop to drop. Any new-generation safe, going forward, will drop completely for free. You will still be able to trade all the old and new generation safes and items using the Steam Marketplace. Your prices [and] supply and demand will still continue to shape the {Payday 2} marketplace. Any new generation safes that drop will be dropping completely for free, and will continue to have different rarities and qualities, depending on what kind of items you get. The only difference is, now you open them for free."
Det lyder som godt nyt for Payday-fans.
