Don't fool yourself in thinking that centrally planned rigged game is somehow capitalist though. If you want to levy criticisms against major publishers like 2k, Ubisoft, EA, et al, that's completely fair. The Access Pass DLCs will be applied to your account and the locations will be available and ready to play from the first time you launch the game. Capitalism occasionally squeezes through the socialist cesspool of public trading casinos and central banking, and thank god for it. If you’ve already played HITMAN 2 on Steam, the locations that you can access in that game will be converted into an ‘Access Pass’ for HITMAN 3 when you buy the latest game. If they make good money off this game by whatever means, all the power to them.Įvery major publisher is JUST getting by off cheap easy credit from a government Central Banking cartel, every one of them is over leveraged financially, understaffed, and have the fiscal model of a pyramid scheme (there's why all your damn games ship day 1 as a glitch gallery show). (Though I would respectfully decline to purchase it ever in that case) It is not easy making what is ostensibly a major video game product as a third party developer, and this studio has survived crises even bigger developers absolutely did not. I don't bear a grudge against IOI for going EGS exclusive for a year, and probably wouldn't even if they didn't import to Steam.

The updates will be rolling out through Steam today, January 27, and will apply to any purchases of the game made until February 19. The short answer is yes, but there is a catch to this answer.

Most notably, many players have dealt with server connectivity problems and random crashes.Īs a response to these issues, IO Interactive has issued a statement agreeing to upgrade all purchased versions of the game.

In addition to fans’ frustrations with the one-year exclusivity deal and launch price, Hitman 3’s Steam debut came with a host of technical issues, too.

When it was finally released on Steam last week at full price, many took it as an opportunity to formally express their discontent about not receiving any sort of launch discount by giving the game poor reviews.

Following Hitman 3’s rough launch on Steam, IO Interactive has announced that all purchases of the game on the platform will receive a free upgrade to a better edition.
