well this is what I see, yet I own H2016 and H2: 2018 
Can someone from IO write us an actual tutorial on how to buy your games. That would be swell, thanks!

Itâs actually pretty easy still tbh - the only major change is that a gaping hole has been opened to buy the base game for cheap (roughly 43% off) at any time.
You can pay $69.99 and buy HITMAN: World of Assassination. Or you can download the demo and then buy the HITMAN WoA Upgrade Pack for $39.99 and youâll have the entire base game (for some reason the upgrade on Steam gives you the Access Passes for the H1 content again even though youâd already have them if you own âPart Oneâ).

Damn IOI is back with the dumbass sales strategies. How lovely for new players to feel like this, trying to buy the whole package:
If I had never been a fan and I wanted to try out this game, only to stumble upon this confusing shit, Id call it quits and never risk buying the wrong/incomplete product. This is bad marketing.

If theyâre going to break apart the game again, then they should reinstate Location Importing.
I think most of us understood the want for a simpler purchase structure what with all the confusion about it. But if theyâre just going to go back to piecemeal purchasing then offer the possibility for free importing for those who missed out.

Aw man, I fear that the new Part One break-off bundle is some intentional misdirect to make players accidentally spend more buying multiple different bundles/DLC instead of all of it in one package⌠
Like, I just realized, look at this:
Youâd think that since Part One has âHitman 3â as the first piece, youâd be getting both the main game Hitman 3 and Season 1 as content â but no, youâre only gonna get Season 1.
The âHitman 3â is actually the Free demo version of the game, as all other main locations are seperate, as you can see with the other bundleâŚ
And add in all those commas, colons, and âHitman 3 Access Pass:â prefixes, then itâs just a smorgasbord of confusion and potential misdirects.
Just⌠uuugh, seeing this happen time after time is honestly pretty mentally draining.

Pretty shitty on IOâs part and I wish Valve would step in to have them make it more clear on what people are buying.

I wish I was a little bit taller, I wish I was a baller, I wish I had a girl who looked good (I would call her), I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat and '64 Impala. But, you see, I can get all of that but you canât make Valve do anything they donât want to.

I donât think itâs that, but as I said on Discord when it first launched I do believe itâs a sneaky tactic to get it to show up on the Steam front page more because it just says âHitman WoA/3â and shows the price of this Part 1, which makes it appear like H3 is actually rather cheap and reasonably priced, but then you click on it and you see thatâs not the price for H3⌠but by then itâs too late, it succeeded at getting on your front page and making you click.

Just indefensible. Why canât IOI run their business to the same high standard that they make their games? Anti-consumer bullshit that all of us should rightfully call them out on.
Hakan - sort it out!

I posted this picture elsewhere but didnât quite parse it:
This is the âUpgrade Packâ for HITMAN 3. It doesnât show up on the store page, but you can find it by going to one of its DLCs (Berlin, etc.) and finding it through that.
Note carefully the contents of the above, and below.
The only thing missing from the top image is the game itself, the HITMAN 3 product. All maps/access passes are included (except HM2 DLC levels), and everything youâd otherwise find in the starter pack - access passes for HM1 First Season + GOTY.
In theory⌠you could buy just the Upgrade Pack, and play the entirety of HITMAN 3 on the âdemoâ version. On my own demo version, whenever I try to play a HM3 map (Dubai/Dartmore/Berlin/Chongquin/Carpathian/Ambrose) it tells me I need to buy the upgrade pack. I can play all my HM1+2+DLC levels (imported) without issue.
Itâs completely head-on-ass. Anybody remember this picture?

I just noticed that in my Steam library. Had a momentary panic attack when I didnât see Hitman 3 any more and thought it had somehow deleted itself. But itâs all good.

Theyâre also doing some scummy price listing trickery.
âPart Oneâ is the first listed price, making it look like all of WoA is 60% off when it isnât. I know a friend who was thinking of grabbing it because of the sale and had to tell them theyâre out of luck.
You also canât wishlist the full version to track a sale.
WoA and the Deluxe version arenât bundles anymore, so you canât grab the parts you want separately if, for example, you donât care about anything outside the H2 Gold content.

But it is? The Upgrade Pack for Part One owners is also 60% off. So if they buy Part One + the Upgrade, itâs 60% off the price of buying it in one package.

You know what would be useful to have on the page then? The Upgrade Pack.
Or just 60% off the full listing.
