The old H3H3 DLC for PAYDAY 2 is getting review-bombed on Steam almost nine years after it was released. The DLC added Ethan and Hila Klein as playable heisters back in 2017. At the time, Overkill released the pack to help support H3H3’s legal fight over a copyright lawsuit, with the proceeds going toward their legal costs. Now, following the recent controversy surrounding Ethan and Hila, the DLC is once again attracting attention but for very different reasons. Some players are also worried that the DLC could eventually be removed from Steam, while others are simply using the review section to comment on the controversy. The DLC has actually been review-bombed before, so this isn’t the first time the H3H3 pack has become a target because of controversy surrounding the creators.

The first review I’ve seen of my upcoming book, Co-Existence, from The New Scientist. (When I became an author, I was surprised to learn you don’t know who is reviewing your book until the review comes out, so it is nice to start with a positive one!)

The hard part of a working humanoid: power, safety, and endurance are in conflict. Digit 5 holds all three. Thanks to @BotJunkie and @IEEESpectrum for the review. #Agility# #Digit5# #MadeToWork#

🇺🇸🇺🇳 The U.S. is about to become the FIRST country EVER to fully skip its UN human rights review. Every UN member gets its record examined roughly every 4 to 5 years. Washington already missed its slot last November, so the UN pushed it back a year to today, hoping the U.S. would change its mind. It didn't. The State Department says it gives the Human Rights Council "no credibility" and calls it an "irredeemable body" that pushes anti-American rhetoric. And there's no plan B. Under the council's rules, if the country doesn't show up, the review simply can't go ahead. If the world’s biggest power can just skip it, what’s stopping everyone else? Source: AP / Writer: Julie
