I find it devastating that a game I was so passionate about for such a long time is managed by such reprehensible people.
I regret sticking around and putting up with bs for so many years, only to (unsurprisingly) see things get worse.
To fellow hitman enjoyers, donāt stand for ioās use of human traffickers, rapists, and zionists to promote live service ācontentā.
Iāve chosen to deleted my account and not come back. I will really miss you amazing people. If if you still wanna chat, add me on discord or nexusmods!
You know you donāt have to leave HMF b/c of your distain for IOs current management team right?
HMF isnāt run by IO. Just hang out in the off topic threads if you still like the people. In the larger gap years between games (BM to absolution and absolution to 2016) it was really just the off topic threads that stayed fun anyway.
JCVD was allegedly gifted āservicesā of human traffickers.
Gary Busey(?) and McGregor = rapists, regardless of not having ever run The Wild Card again (presumably due to contractual obligations/limitations anyway) and theyāve already condemned McGregor publicly and removed the availability of said related DLC from all digital storefronts.
But I guess Iām not up to speed on who the āZionistā person or persons are.
Nothing recent/specific, just needed a punchline for my joke. Albeit obviously your ranking of BM in the series in general should see you with a perma-IP ban on the site and having to surrender your badge and your gun.
I talked to them over Discord about this, and I did just suggest never logging in again. Short answer; the reveal of the State of Despair crossover basically pushed them over the edge into āI donāt want to even think about the company anymoreā.
And I get it, to be honest. With the year and a bit weāve had of PR screwups, I can totally understand getting less and less happy with the game or the company behind it. Making dodgy deals with Conor, not apologizing for that mess, making the Sapienza edition and pretending itās the best deal ever, making a goddamn spreadsheet for purchasing the game as if thatās acceptable! Then JCVD being investigated for child trafficking and now the crossover with a dodgy mobile game with misogynistic and misleading advertsā¦and who knows what else Iāve missed!
Itāsā¦not a great look for the company, and it sounds like they just wanted out of the fandom. And I respect that decision. Which is a shame, because they were the lifeline between us and @CombatGlue, so that link is now severed.
This is the cost of your business, IO Interactive. Sometimes people are so ashamed of your actions, that theyāll leave the game and fandom entirely. Think on your sins the next time you collaborate with another company, and perhaps think through the future consequences first ā for your games, reputation as a company, and as a brand.
Oh noooo, Iām gonna miss you!
I totally understand you though. If it wasnāt for the off topic threads and the people here, I wouldnāt be in the forum. I lost my will to play the game a long time ago, I didnāt even play the undying and heās my favourite ET.
Part of it was because I was bored about Hitman, but
the bigger part was because I was angry at IOI for all the stuff they pulled.
This Forum will miss you, but I hope this is the best for you and that whatever comes next in your life is great.
Take care!
