Dear Community,

Thank you for your patience and for giving us the time to investigate the release of HITMAN GOTY on GOG. As promised, we’re getting back to you with updates.

We're still in dialogue with IO Interactive about this release. Today we have removed HITMAN GOTY from GOG’s catalog – we shouldn’t have released it in its current form, as you’ve pointed out.

We’d like to apologise for the confusion and anger generated by this situation. We’ve let you down and we’d like to thank you for bringing this topic to us – while it was honest to the bone, it shows how passionate you are towards GOG.

We appreciate your feedback and will continue our efforts to improve our communication with you.

What will be interesting is where IO Interactive goes from here. If they're interested in game preservation, we should expect Hitman 2016 to return to GOG in the near future with all server dependencies removed, allowing us to enjoy the full singleplayer experience at our leisure.

Honestly, as I have said earlier in this thread, I don't really expect anything to happen for Hitman 2016, if we are lucky they might consider doing it for Hitman 3 but I doubt we would ever got anything more than an "unlock all" save for Hitman 1

I have asked for the hitman's money back.

What will happen to all the achievements I got in the game when hitman is removed from my account? Will remain? Will they disappear?

Here's my hope IO gets the shit it deserve for it's false advertising and underhanded sales tactics. Given the number of people just hard blaming GoG I doubt it, but I can hope IO gets the shit it deserves for this abyssmal abuse of good faith

I think they misunderstood "DRM-free" as being an inconsequential sales gimmick rather than a core philosopy at GOG.

It's gog's fault for choosing to sell the game on their store.

On the other hand, GOG could use this game as an example to developers that their customers really do care about DRM-free. Seeing is believing.

Case in point. This is mostly IOs fault. IO is the main antagonist here and deserves -FAR- more shit for it. Blaming GoG as they are an equal whos a complete lack of understanding on the concept of intent. Being victim to loophole abuse is not entirely free of cause, but not a malicious false advertisement

Are you saying GOG does not know what they sell, that they do not test the games and can't check if they are DRMed or not? Otherwise how exactly GOG's decision to go ahead and sell this always-online garbage can be described as "being victim to loophole abuse" rather than deliberately allowing DRM on the store?

Assuming GOG is too stupid to know a game they put on their store had DRM is not exactly the best argument to make. Either they knew and did it, which is bad. Or the didn't know and are grossly incompetent with curation and demographic research, which is equally bad. If they're that stupid, they would be in business as long as they have. GOG are not some hapless victim here.

Ecumen1cal: My expectations were very warranted but in your haste to post a rebuke you perhaps missed the fact that what many people here were asking was offline loadouts, costumes and starting locations, what also eluded you (due to in large part i asume your inability to conduct a cursory search online) was the fact that a solution to this already exists and has been used by buccaneers to play the game with these unlocks offline for years!
Nothing eluded me. The "solution" that already exists is to unlock all of those things from the beginning, like using a cheat code or someone else's save file. That's a dreadful solution and not one I would consider acceptable for a GOG release.

A proper fix where that content is unlockable through playing the game as intended (but offline) will take longer than 2 weeks. You can keep your supercilious snark to yourself.

teceem: Have you ever had a job? At a big company? For all we know, the fine people at IOI have just had a meeting about whether they should have a meeting to discuss the possibility of re-reviewing their policy regarding this subject.
Bingo.

Please stop spouting this nonsense. It is GOG that is advertizing that they have a 'curated, DRM-free store'. It is totally GOG's decision and their discretion as to what games they allow on to the store. Given their stated commitment to DRM-free, it is their responsibility to their customers, in fact it is their business, to ensure that games that are released here do not contain DRM. I expect nothing less from a store that claims to be 'DRM-free'.

It is very clear that GOG is to blame for this farce, not IOI.

You could turn this massive reputation damage into a big win if you managed to secure the whole trilogy while stripping it of online requirements.
Wishful thinking, I know, but one can hope. I'd pay a pretty penny for that, too.

I agree. GOG makes a big thing of being a curated store. A cursory playtest would surely have alerted them to the fact that offline progression was impossible even if the game was technically DRM-free.
