"We’re not in a position any more where we have to be scared," Overkill producer Almir Listo told VG247 in a recent interview. "We have our community and we know what they want and this just makes the heists genre more popular."“I’m looking forward to GTA Heists on PC and seeing what Hardline has got," he added. "From our perspective we just welcome the challenge. Any competition can only make our game better. We will of course play their games and have a lot of fun and we’ll learn from them, what they did good and what they could have done better."PayDay 2 originally released for PC and consoles back in 2013.
