When all of the copy was telling about the "high octane run and gun" nature of payday 2 I knew I'd hate payday 3. The only missions in payday 2 I enjoyed were the true stealth missions.

The stealth was the only good part of the game. The shooting felt horrible, it was only there for when you messed up

The money making came largely from the run and gun fans. As the game progressed, DLC gradually favoured loud action heists, which implies that they sold better, I think the whales who'd spend thousands on the game like to be seen by other players (and people could get their social fix from the game that's pretty essential to massive numbers if addicted gamers) and stealth is best solo while loud is best co-op, so the money comes from loud heists.

Yeah, makes sense that it's just the most profitable demographic. I was really disappointed regardless.
