Are you ready to rob some banks? PAYDAY 2 is showing signs that it's getting closer to a Linux release.
From SteamDB, It looks like Linux is now going through "QA" which usually means quality assurance:

This could mean it will come tonight, tomorrow, in a week or later. It's a good healthy sign that the developers are working on it regularly.
It has suffered a bit of review-bombing over the introduction of micro-transactions in CS:GO style drops, and buying drills to open them with. They took on feedback and added in drills as a drop too (from what I read), but it hasn't helped the masses of negative reviews. It still has regularly over 10,000 players online, so I would say the game is still pretty healthy.
About the game
PAYDAY 2 is an action-packed, four-player co-op shooter that once again lets gamers don the masks of the original PAYDAY crew - Dallas, Hoxton, Wolf and Chains - as they descend on Washington DC for an epic crime spree.
The new CRIMENET network offers a huge range of dynamic contracts, and players are free to choose anything from small-time convenience store hits or kidnappings, to big league cyber-crime or emptying out major bank vaults for that epic PAYDAY. While in DC, why not participate in the local community, and run a few political errands?
Up to four friends co-operate on the hits, and as the crew progresses the jobs become bigger, better and more rewarding. Along with earning more money and becoming a legendary criminal comes a new character customization and crafting system that lets crews build and customize their own guns and gear.

Quoting: PicoboomI'll not refuse to play a game simply because the developer or publisher "lied," changed their mind, or were simply the victims of capitalist Cerberus of time, resources, and a capricious marketplace. If I did, I wouldn't own Divinity: Original Sin, or Stanley Paradox, or so many other solid quality titles.
Having played Payday 2 since before any DLC, after 1,200+ hours I've seen and played it all. I boycotted the game briefly when the micro-transactions were first introduced and began playing again when the skin/mods were made available in-game, without purchase. The little bonuses the mods add are negligible and unnoticeable in general play, really.
Payday 2 is an action-soaked, wildly-replayable co-op shooter par excellence. It's often on sale for a very modest sum, and a real boon to the Linux community's game Library.
An excellent post that sums up my thoughts exactly.
