Payday 2 H3H3 DLC Review Bombed on Steam [Update 2026]

The Payday 2 H3H3 Character Pack has officially plunged to an Overwhelmingly Negative rating on Steam as thousands of cooperative shooter fans actively review-bomb the 2017 charity add-on following escalating public disputes involving YouTube creators Ethan and Hila Klein. According to verified reports from TheGamer, the DLC was originally conceived by developer Overkill Software in late 2017 to bankroll Ethan and Hila Klein's legal defense against a landmark copyright infringement lawsuit filed by Matt Hoss. Overkill pledged 100 percent of studio proceeds to protect digital fair use precedents. However, recent controversies surrounding the H3 Podcast host have prompted veteran heisters to revolt, dropping recent Steam user ratings to a dismal 16 percent approval score. Players argue the pack feels tonally disconnected from modern heisting, echoing community disputes seen when [Total War Shogun 2 Remaster Delisted: VP Apology [Confirmed]](/news/shogun-2-remaster-delisted-ca-apology) sparked catalog debates. Despite its charitable origin, negative user submissions criticize the bundle's sluggish Tag Team perk deck, subpar voice lines, and out-of-place aesthetic within Payday 2's gritty crime syndicate lore. Starbreeze has yet to comment on whether the pack will be retired or revised.
