don't get me Wrong.. Big fan of the series always supported IOI for their work until now..

But i don't agree to the privacy policy. If you read it carefully then you will notice that this game (plus their IOI website and your IOI account) is also used for targeted ads, tracking cookies, following you on social media and all that stuff.

It is not acceptable paying 90 bucks for a game just to give the permission of being followed and tracked and your data being used (sold) to 3rd parties. This is not about gathering general 'game data', accepting the policy goes beyond that. You give them permission to follow and track you and spam you with ads and if you use an IOI account then they will even use your real name, email, age and gender for targeted ads.

If you don't agree to this policy then you can't play online and thus you are locked out of portions of the game and won't receive unlocks/upgrades etc. If you don't agree you will have half a game.

For game publishers it is not enough anymore to simply sell a nice game and make profit from it.... they want your data and sell that as well. You can decline it, but then you can not play the full game. I call that extortion.


Edit: Just to add, the EULA on the store page has no mention of this privacy policy and the restricions in the game it causes when you don't accept that policy. So you first need to buy the game (or DL that 'demo') to be aware and know the existance of the policy you need to agree too in order to play the full game.

So it goes like this; 'this is our nice product, please buy it. Okay thank you for your purchase! And by the way now that you have bought it, you need to accept this policy (that we didn't mention before) if you want to actually play the full game... '.


What can we do as a COMMUNITY to not getting this type of extortion? sadly.. dont buy any Hitman Game.
but its for a good reason.. maybe we get a better type of game..
