So on August 1,2013 I first heard about Payday 2 coming to console (great advertising team) and I had really high hopes for this game. After the cluster**** that was the launch I still held hopes for this game.
Come September I finally got tired of the glitches and what not and told myself I would come back once updates have come out to fix these glitches.
Well, here we are almost two months since release and only one update that god knows what it did and I've officially lost all hope seeing as updates are steadily coming out on PC.
Overkill truly doesn't care about the console players and I wish it was different seeing as Payday is the best FPS game I've ever played.
There that needed to be said if you agree or disagree let me know below.

Do you understand how console patches vs. PC patches work?
PC patches cost nothing, the developer but the time needed to make them, and put them on the server that pushes the update.
Console patches require the game to be re-certified by the console manufacturer. On the Xbox 360, the cost to do this is said to be around $40,000 USD. Furthermore, this process can take up to and over 2 months.
Overkill studios has said before that they are new to consoles, and don't really know how to do a patch for them, but are working on one.
If you paid any attention to the PC patches, the PC users are basically a test bed, a huge Q/A for Overkill. Most patches have introduced new, and sometimes huge bugs (ie. massively reduced payouts). When the console patches do release, they will be basically the best version of all the PC patches combined, without the massive bugs.
What I'm saying is learn a bit before bitching.
