I'm guessing it's part of the whole going indie + rebooting the franchise so there's two Hitman 1, two Hitman 2, etc.... and the cherry on top is the online-activated targets, which are modeled after the temporary events in gacha games. The thing is, instead of confusing the masses more than what they are, and with the intention of turning Hitman into a Software as a Service kinda deal, the whole reboot trilogy is now one thing, with 1, 2 and 3 as DLCs. Hitman 3 needed its own flux diagramto guess which version had what content, so yeah.So Hitman: World of Assassinations is on Steam Spring Sale for $38 (45% off). Really want to try it as I love some of the older Hitman games, but I am fucking confused by what's included in it. It says Hitman 1 and Hitman 2 Season Pass as DLCs, what da fuck do that even mean? IO deserves to go bankrupt for the shit show they created with these games and the fucking DLCs, maps, older games in newer engines, the whole fucking clusterfuck.
Did you get money in your Steam wallet or simply free? I assume the latter although the former would be more fun, even though really unlikelyThat might be because it hurts HB's image to admit they fucked up. I remember that once they applied a discount on HOMMV and its expansions on Steam (that is, directly on Steam) and it ended up giving a negative price. I "bought" them and still have them on my library. This was years ago too.
I got them for free, more or less. No extra credit for me. Obviously Steam is not designed to give "change". Still it was amusing to see because the price was like -$123.Did you get money in your Steam wallet or simply free?

I am not sure if you can do that. When that shit was announced nobody understood it either.I'm guessing it's part of the whole going indie + rebooting the franchise so there's two Hitman 1, two Hitman 2, etc.... and the cherry on top is the online-activated targets, which are modeled after the temporary events in gacha games.

Does that mean that if I buy World of Assassinations, I can play all 3 games in Hitman 3 engine?
The Freelance mode sounds pretty interesting.

So okay they had to pay you* to pick it up.

The person that made that flowchart has too much free time in their hands and should immediately be put in a labor camp.Take a look at this baby
edit: holy shit. it seems it's only for Hitman 3's convoluted release. I remember them getting shit for it. Maybe that's why they turned into a SaaS thing in the end.
The days of Actually Good Sales are long over. Prices stay fixed.If a game is on sale (during this spring sale I mean), say at 10% discount, is there a possibility that the discount increases in the coming days or once it's set it's fixed at that rate?

Remember: the clusterfuck I described above is the easiest it's been so far. It was worse before Freelance mode came out, and even worse during Hitman 3's release back when the game was still an Epic exclusive. It's one of the best games surrounded by some of the worst bullshit.I had the intention of giving the new Hitman stuff a go for a while. But the distribution model is such a clusterfuck that I'd feel bad for giving them any money now. Oh well.
