The game was "retired". It's no longer being sold in favor of pushing players towards Hitman 3 (where you can play all the H1 and H2 content just like you can play H1 in this game). The servers are staying up for now, but nobody new will join the playerbase.

I don't really get it. I prefer mature games that have finished their update cycles. I wouldn't buy H3 right now, but I've bought H2 in December. The new policy would have lost me as a customer.

and if I have 2 parts, but there are no dls, is it possible to get them in the game itself?

I don't know, I'm not an expert. But it looks like "no" is the answer. I just went to the in-game "Store" tab and when I click on a DLC all it does is open the Steam page where it tells me it is no longer being sold.
Maybe you could activate a key if you can buy one on some other store outside of Steam? I don't know. Doesn't look like there is any way to get it directly on Steam though.

It only disadvantages people like us with lower end specs
Hitman 2 runs 60fps on my mediocre 1060 3GB ,same levels in Hitman 3 run worse .
Anyway, I think their move is justified tbh, maybe the confusion upon buying will finally disappear and new comers can enjoy the trilogy without going through 3 pages guide to know to buy the game lol

I don't know... for someone like me who was buying from scratch it really wasn't a big deal. Hitman GOTY, Hitman 2 Gold, done. No DLC, no upgrades, no legacy packages. I feel like the simplification argument only holds true for people who bought early and piecemeal and those are out of luck anyway now that all sales have stopped. IOI deliberately went with the sales model of a million DLCs and were surprised that people got confused. Now that there are finally consolidated versions (GOTY and Gold - I made those two purchases and now my Hitman 2 on Steam has 33 DLC) they cancel sales. Beats me.

Bit of trashy move to remove Hitman/Hitman 2 from Steam, in order to force ppl to buy H3.

Is there a way to still get maps in hitman 2?

[AnakiИ]

Gentlemen, is this what I understood? Anyone who had only the base versions of H1 and H2 got all the free dlc's? I'm browsing my base version of H2 and when I click on a dlc it redirects to its page and informs me that it's already in my library. If so, point to the AIO.

alive game

Didn't even get to play the game and now all the content/achievements has become digital paper weights.

I refuse to buy HITMAN™ 3, IOI can make the game Free to play, and include HITMAN™ and HITMAN™ 2 Content to those who has already purchased the previous standalone games... Only then, MAYBE, If we decide to invest in the new game content, Once we are satisfied...

Otherwise IO Interactive can go flap themselves. They don't deserve my money.

KaveMan, this has been the case since launch and even before launch with Hitman 2. You can still access all the levels and elusive targets/contracts/arcades (other than freelancer) on the levels you do own if you download the demo. The demo is not feature restricted in any way compared to the base game, its like the free download for Hitman 2

But it is still playable? I've bought the (was it gold?)-Edition a couple of months ago and wanted to play it the next days.
