>The future of the Hitman series was put in jeopardy earlier this month when Square Enix announced plans to "withdraw from the business" of developer Io Interactive. The situation seemed to brighten shortly after, when a rumor surfaced indicating that Io will retain the rights to Hitman and proceed with work on the second season. But an update tweeted today indicates that less than two weeks after the studio was put on the block, it has been forced to let employees go.
>The number of employees affected by the cuts isn't known, nor is the status of Square Enix's efforts to sell the studio. It's obviously not good news, but the potential upside is that reduced staff levels could help make Io more attractive to potential buyers. It's also possible—although this is purely speculation—that the layoffs are a condition of a buyout agreement that's been reached but not yet announced.
hahahahah...
*breathes in*

>>377971212
damn because it was actually a good game but the problem is it was completely fucking broken
>crash on load (unplayable)
>crashes ingame
>episodic content buggy
>DRM always online broken

A shame. I heard the game is actually better than Absolution.

>>377971212
Greedy fucks get what they deserve, all they had to do was make a blood money 2 but nooooo, lets throw in some fucking episodes, always online and bunch of other trash like Denuvo.

>finally make a worthy successor to BM
>die soon after

I was never interested in hitman and watched the series rise and fall without playing a single game. Looking back at youtube vids and stuff, some of them were pretty cool.
Episodic release of a single player game with this type of gameplay is one of the dumbest ideas I can think of.

It's greed, plain and simple. Bunch of out of touch suits sitting in Square Enix thinking of how they can leach this large market of gamers.

works for me™ since launch

>People blaming the developer for publisher decisions
Every time. Those fucking Japs forced this shit on them, and now they're fucking them over to cover up their gigantic failure with FFXV. I can't wait for FF7 remake to fail for the same episodic bullshit and they have no one to blame but themselves.

It literally was BM2 though.
>>377971621
It was Square Enix that forced them to do all of those retarded anti-consumer business practices. No need to blame the developers because they got dicked by a bunch of out-of-touch gooks that are trying to use the western games industry as their retarded fucking testing platform for how much jewry they can get away with.
