Thanks to everyone who has alerted us potential purchasers to the online DRM. I almost bought it. Whew !!

Your welcome man, dealt with this idiocy on steam back in 2016. The community begged IO to change this rubbish and we all thought at the time that was Square Enix that wanted this type of rubbish. Then years passed, IO got their independence and only to find out that this was ALL THEIR IDEA and they REFUSE to give us what we paid for. This game and this game alone is why i stopped buying DRM games. Now here is 2021 and they brought the same practice millions have begged them to stop over to TO A DRM-FREE PLATFORM. I [ray that IO interactive bites the dusts one of these days. An interesting side note, this game shouldn't be here without the 2nd game because they are all in one. You can play Hitman 1 inside of hitman 2. The simple fact that they are breaking up the game and charging for it to make maximum profit on the DRM-FREE people is a travesty.

I did not know that, thank you.
