PAYDAY 3

The house hit 622 viewers in 2023 for PAYDAY 3's September launch, one of the most disastrous live-service releases in recent memory. StreamerHouse was there day one when Starbreeze's always-online requirement meant solo players couldn't start private heists due to server crashes. The CEO began apologizing immediately as the house sat in matchmaking queues for an hour. Chat watched 68% negative Steam reviews pile up as viewers who wanted offline play got Nebula login errors instead. The streams captured the community's rage at paying $60 for a game they couldn't access, and the developer's scramble to fix servers while promising to "look at the possibility of some sort of offline mode." After years anticipating the sequel, StreamerHouse documented the week Starbreeze learned that broken servers kill even the best heists.
