After he called the Payday community to action last week to help keep Payday 3 alive, Almir Listo (Starbreeze's Global Brand Director) has been facing a lot of positivity & negativity regarding the future of the game... so I decided to bring him back onto my channel for another interview to help him clear the air and explain his points more!
