Fancy a free permanent copy of PAYDAY 2? [Steam] Well here's your chance as the developers are throwing 5 million copies away on Steam.

Yes, this is really a thing.

They even made a video about it, as they are making an "Ultimate Edition" of the game:

They have removed all the DLC for sale, since this new edition will include all DLC. This sounds good, since there was an insane amount of it.

Enjoy the free game everyone! Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Lol 5 mill... That's like five times the total amount of Linux gamers on Steam, given away. Puts things into perspective, doesn't it... :-D

I do look at those numbers and think we need to do better. Then I remember I like Linux and windows has restrictions on security updates for 7th gen chips on older windows. And viruses. And then I feel great!

No. They are removing all DLC from sale and replacing it with the Ultimate edition that contains all DLC. If you own Payday 2 you will be able to upgrade to the Ultimate Edition for a cost that varies depending on the DLC you already own.

The game they are giving away now is not the Ultimate Edition and does not contain any of the DLC that cost money before.

Did they -ever- fix the mic issue. Never really played it as I couldn't talk to anyone with a mic or hear anyone with a mic.

I just got this game a couple of months ago but never played it because I couldn't change the monitor where it opened. It was annoying and ultimately unplayable. Hopefully this new edition will fix any remaining issues on linux.

Not as far as I'm aware. But then again, Discord exists so....

You know there's plenty of ways to move a game from one to another right? KDE for example you can just drag a fullscreen game from one monitor to another.

No , they won't. There is a topic down there on Steam and that Overkill Almir is repyling every question. Except Linux related ones.

I've asked two times with one via quoting but he avoided them.

They won't fix anything.
