It's been hard for several games over the past several months, but Starbreeze Studios' Payday 3 can't catch a break. After a disastrous launch where those who purchased couldn't even play it, the co-op heist shooter has faced extensive scrutiny for its design choices, lack of content and quality of life features, progression and no offline mode.

Starbreeze has outlined plans to improve the title over the long term with Operation Medic Bag. However, with a mixed reaction to its first paid DLC, record-low player numbers (especially compared to Payday 2) and the removal of the studio's CEO, it looks like Payday 3 is dead, if not very much close to it.

Here's how this could happen in such a short period and whether the shooter has any chance of making a comeback.
