Payday 2 is probably my most played game of all time, I think I was Infamous 27/29? So I feel qualified to speak about the games state.
I started playing PD2 in 2014 so I was there for the highs and the extreme lows as they happened, even when the Drill Safe system happened the core game was fun and there was a ton of content and care still there. Payday 3 came out the gate to die.
There was always going to be way less content in Payday 3 given the new engine and just how much stuff was in Payday 2 due to years of DLCs and updates but I still didn't expect the bare bones state it came out in. Mix that with bare bones features and server issues and well you get what we have now... Dead game meme.
I would love to be corrected with future updates but as it stands now the game is just not there. What IS there is a fun cinematic feeling shooter that comes close to beating Payday 2 on the feel front but falls short. Stop putting stuff "on the table" and putting it in the game.
