Always online is bs

This isn't an mmo so take it out!

The game plays identical to absolution when offline: story only, nothing to unlock

this is the community wish till Hitman 1 back in 2016, IOI just don't care.
They like to punish us for buying the game.
It would be more than enough if the game transmitted the progress after finishing the mission, even transmitted it before game closed would be enough, but IOI seems to hate gamers.

what a joke. at this time and age they are pulling this. Gamers have to vote with their wallets or else you know what to do.

There is also a private server so you don't need to use IOI's servers and you can run it on your own pc to use "online" mode.

You say this, as if things are expected to get better. It's actually quite an opposite. It is a wonder that Hitman isn't a microtransaction riddled hellhole.

Gamers should not buy and I haven't supported them. That's the very best can be done. Like i agree the game is good and all but why screw gamers with always online option.

No arguing there. Unfortunately, there are new generations of players who grew up on exploitative mobile and free-to-play garbage.

Hitman is this curious example who seems to do a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ thing for just a sake of it. I am still at a loss as to why Hitman reboots are always online. It seems to me like IOI is just creative problems for themselves while pissing people off.

This used to be a non issue for steam H1 and H2 gamers. Apart from players located in Antarctica or having terrible internet access.
Now, it is a real nuisance to H3 steam players.

Good to see there are mods. If IOI is not willing to scale their infrastructure to the steam players base, me thinks they'll just pull the plug once sales have watered down 😣

Nearly 4 years since Hitman Absolution contracts servers went offline, so much for it being a "temporary" server closure.
In the meantime, we are continuing to work on solutions for the server and restoring the DLC for sale. Source: https://www.ioi.dk/hitman-absolution-service-message/

More like in the mean time making weapon reskins while completely ignoring Absolution server issues and Hitman 3 VR issues. If Absolution contracts is dead and IOI isn't going to fix VR then IOI must admit it instead of ignoring problems.

From Hitman 1 online DRM on GOG release to VR issues, I can't have much faith in IOI or their Project 007. Let this serve as a testament to why you don't own "games as a service".

There's nothing ioi can do with absolutions contracts mode without permission from square-enix, which they ended up not getting

Those mods literally saved the hitman 1 and 2 for me. I thumbed down both hitman in my reviews mainly because of the stupid always online bs impeding unlocks and progress, so annoying. I thought hitman 3 will be better in terms of this, but it's the exact same.
