I was mostly reconciling that this is a myth due to that there’s not enough evidence to support this theory, yet everyone who is against EGS is under this impression. So likewise other myths that are amongst it, I just used this as an example.
Ah, Ok, clearly I misread it.
Why would they do that? The contract was signed long ago - they would have to pay a penalty at this point.
Plus IO has said that deals like the one with EGS are why they were able to open the Malmo studio, get the James Bond IP and be able to self-publish that game when it releases.
Even if they could go back, they wouldn’t.

Well, with all the recent news I’m curious, how many people will make a refund of HITMAN 3. Or won’t buy it all from Epic.
If there will be a significant amount of refunds, it will surely affect the HITMAN 3 player base with all the concequences.
I would like to make a poll on that case, so…
Will you refund HITMAN 3 if you already preordered it?
- Yes
- No
- I doubt
- Haven’t decided yet
0 voters
If you didn’t preorder it, will you buy it post launch?
- Yes
- No
- I doubt
- Haven’t decided yet
- Will buy it on Steam

should’ve added an option for console players
This thread is not about consoles

people who don’t play on pc can still participate, can’t they?
Of course, but if they don’t care about PC it will be pointless, and their answer is preferably “no”, because they won’t buy the game for PC

Completely irrelevant to the question asked.

why do you have to do this? your remark doesn’t add anything to the already concluded conversation.
and yet there was no question asked in the message i was replying to. if you are referring to the inital poll then it indeed is relevant: if you’re a pc player who’s getting fucked but still decides to preorder in egs then that’s not a decision i’d personally respect. if you are a console player then it seem to me that there is no reason to cancel your preorder because you’re not screwed anyhow
lol
i’m glad i’m not hyped for this game anymore. looking forward to buying it when it gets a very big steam discount a few years from now. thanks IOI!

Won’t buy it and I heavily criticize any dodgy exclusivity deal and do not buy the game. Not going to change that stance for any game. That means I won’t buy it on Steam or anything else if it ever gets there.
Do I expect that enough others share my view to affect sales? Not even remotely.
Will drop this here. I was polishing off Cyberpunk so only just fired up Hitman 3 PC today + ran the progress carry over. Leaving it a few days meant I avoided the queues so the process was quick and smooth for me. Hitman 3 looks amazing on PC. Great to see EGS dinging all my H1 and H2 achievements upon running the game for the first time. I’m not surprised to see IOI present the trilogy as a single package so well but it’s still a pleasure to see.
Cheers IOI and congrats on all the critical acclaim H3 is receiving.

I couldn’t care less about this. I already use a bunch of stores, so using one more didn’t even make me flinch for a second. Did people not play Mass Effect 2 back in the day because it was only on Origin? Maybe I’m weird but the thought of that barely crossed my mind.
Granted I don’t play multiplayer games and therefore don’t use Steam’s community features, which I know many do. Still… you can launch any game through Steam if you want, and get most of those benefits.
Anyway… I assume IOI made what they thought was the best financial decision and I hope it works out for them.

In retrospect, the only thing I’m bummed about is not seamlessly, and immediately, being able to do H2 levels in HIII. Once that’s fixed, it’ll be the definitive experience, and I don’t care that it’s on Epic.

But in this case whole H1/H2/H3 is a one platform, sharing all experience and levels in one place. That was whole idea of it. People get H1 and H2 with all goodnes withing and then IOI change platform and make it exclusive. It’s not fair. I don’t mind if this new Hitman would be a totaly new stand alone game, but it isn’t - its a part of one platform, and why last part of it they relase on different place? This is a problem because why people complain.
And of course whole Epic Exclusivenes, huge pricing and bad launcher is a different story, but also its one of things why people don’t like it.

I don’t understand this.
Why the hell would you want to open H1 and H2 when you can just play them in H3? They’re literally the same game with very minor differences.

They have said Hitman 2 will be added for those who have it on Steam, so I don’t really see why this matters?

Practically you can’t 
Mostly because that exclusivity of Epic Store. And I won’t pay double money for this same when I bought both games on day one for full price. And second thing that I like to have everything in one place. And because of that riddiclous situation I can’t have them in one place - for now at least.
Does anyone else find it kinda funny EGS people seem to be using H2’s Steam Discussions page to talk about H3 stuff and write reviews?
