I have no idea how else to title this given everything today so apologies for the slop-esque titling... but between Project Baxter being binned, a quarter of Starbreeze's employees being laid off and Offline Mode officially being cancelled I don't really know how to advertise a video like this... let's talk.

CHAPTERS:
00:00 It's Been An Insane Day For Starbreeze & Payday 3
01:59 Project Baxter Cancelled, Focus Returning To Payday
11:30 Today's "The Future Of Payday 3" Stream Was Rough...
23:34 Overall Thoughts
