From the site

Greetings User,

If you are reading this then you are one of the few remaining people that actually uses my website. I thank you for that.

However you are probably wondering why you see this letter instead of the site you were looking for. If you have a moment then I will explain you why.

I will start from the very beginning.

About a year and some months ago I started building this site, in secret. Once I got to the point that it was usable I released it and it was quickly picked up by Overkill and promoted.

Some months later I got invited to visit Overkill's Studios. We talked about several things.

One of them was pd2stats and, yes, the fbi files. Back then I was promised that the fbi files would not be like pd2stats, they aren't gonna be anything similar and they aren't intended to make pd2stats useless or kill it.

After the visit, I barely had any contact with Overkill for over 8 months.

About four months before fbi files release, I was promised again by Overkill that I would be informed about the fbi files and that I would have a hand in making it happen.

Four months pass, I heard nothing from Overkill until the announcement of the fbi files.

That's when it got evident that something went wrong.

I contacted Overkill through an employee that normally has nothing to do with any of this. I am very grateful that he tried to help. It was literally the only chance I got to get any kind of a response.

He got back to me and I was told that the team responsible for the fbi files was not informed about the existence of pd2stats or about plans that higher management in Overkill had.

At this point there still was some time and I was ensured that people have been informed about it and I would be contacted asap.

A week later, no responses. I contacted them again to be told that everyone is aware of the situation and I would be contacted.

Another week later, another message, this time I was simply asked if I was contacted yet. No, I had not been contacted.

Another couple days later, I informed them that pd2stats has now under 20 users (if you are one of them, thank you) and that 50% of the funding for lastbullet.net is now gone. I am involved in developing lastbullet.net and as such I use the ads revenue from pd2stats for it.

Essentially at this point pd2stats.com was using more resources than it could make up for. Way more. I have informed Overkill about the shutdown of pd2stats a week in advance. I also suggested that making pd2stats official or working together with the fbi files might fix this issue. I will be contacted very soon.

Another week passed, no replies, seemingly no one cares. And it turned out that Overkill does respond to other people about various matters. So this implies that they are on purpose ignoring this.

I managed to contact them directly two weeks later (yesterday), to be told that there is no time for discuss this and I should wait another couple weeks. Meanwhile pd2stats is going down more and more. There seemingly is no point to this anymore.

We have now arrived at the present, with this distressing situation. This is why you are reading this letter instead of getting to where you wanted to go.

At this point I would like to take a moment to tell you about other promises Overkill has made.

A few weeks ago, Overkill has promised Last Bullet to work together on making a new, much better, mod format for Payday 2. We discussed this once, then arranged another meeting. A day before this meeting, Overkill has cancelled it, indefinitely. Nothing happened on this matter since.

A year ago we were promised that one of Last Bullet would be a moderator if at any point they would ever do a workshop. We were not informed of the recent workshop addition, nor were we offered a position in this recent workshop addition of any kind.

If you would like to my work and the website, or if you still think there is hope, the spread the word, contact them. Maybe together we can make something happen at last.

Overkill’s Twitter: https://twitter.com/OVERKILL_TM PD2Stats discussion thread on steam community: http://steamcommunity.com/app/218620/discussions/8/490123197947233328/

Lastly here are some technical details for anyone that wants them. The code of pd2stats is not gone. It just is not alive anymore. api.pd2stats.com is still running. It uses recources and lastbullet.net pays for it.

I hope you have a nice day.

Greetings, PD2Stats Team

This is becoming more than skins at this point.
