450 Votes and counting - Let's keep Pushing

We just came off day 2 of considerably large issues.  I presume all of you are here because you want this game to succeed just as much as I do.  I don't know about you all, but I've been wanting to scratch the itch of a new Payday series for QUITE some time now.  

I know that Starbreeze is doing their best to figure things out because frankly they don't need bad publicity, and it's not my intention or desire to bring them any; but the situation is what the situation is and there's no changing that.  

We need to keep pushing, sharing with our friends, family, twitter, twitch, kick, tiktok, whatever social media you have and utilize the word needs to get out about this petition because the reality is that over the course of the last 48 hours the MAJORITY of the player base has either begun or dicscussed refunding due to inability to play, review bombing, or this petition because they want what they pay for, and I can't say I disagree.   I know that not everyone has $40, or even $100 to sink into something that they may not be able to USE for a week or more and I'm sure that is where their concern lies.  "If I can't trust them now how can I be expected to trust them at all" and it's a legitimate mindset to have in this kind of a situation.

Granted, some of us have been able to find matches throughout all of this; but I think it's safe to say that over 75% of us haven't.  That's not a good number to run through your head when you're talking about a company that's relying on this game to be the gate out of potential bankruptcy, and I CERTAINLY don't want to see the title die altogether, or get sold to some other studio that's just going to completely ruin the original intention.

Do I think Offline play will resolve everything?  No, no I don't; but I do think that it'll alleviate a FAIR portion of strain on their networks while they figure things out and allow them to recover from this situation.  

It's already been proven that solo play WAS originally in the game, and was hidden within the menu, so to SOME degree or another they've had it working at some point.  Even if our progress from solo play isn't the same as the online play I doubt any of us would care.  We just want to be able to play the game without running the risk of a server disconnecting halfway through (or at the end of ) a mission, or without being able to queue up for a mission at all.

This petition is reliant on networking and word of mouth.  I'm not some big-time streamer, or super-popular person.  I'm a guy that knows quite a few people in the industry; but that's about it.  I need all of your help to get this spread out and get people voting.  We're losing momentum, and that's not something we need.  We need Starbreeze to understand this is a legitimate cause, and needs to occur, so please, help me spread the word!
