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.

Lifthrasil: So? Any results so far from your 'investigation'? What did looking into the topic yield so far?

russellskanne: Nope, since Gabriella obviously enjoys watching our fruitless struggles over here.
IDK but could we try to keep this not quite as creepy as singling out GOG staff and posting their pictures for like no reason.

Agreed. Despite the way we may feel about GOG, singling out employees that have no real say in the direction the company goes seems a bit far.

The picture is literally on the front page right now. Plus it's just a little bit sarcasm, nothing more.

The investigation is still undergoing. No, not the one about how Hitman completely evaded the curation. That investigation never even started. He's just that stealthy.

Until I see contrary evidence I have to assume that they are still investigating how hard it is to get away with adding a full blown DRMed product and how effective the release of Blood Omen was in countering the userbase bail out.

My guess is they're investigating how time / resource intensive it will be to provide online unlockables in SP... or if IOI will even ok it.

I will say this...

... if GOG stripped out all of the online shenanigans and provided unlockables via some SP or optional scheme, I'd buy all 3 of thee new games when (if) they released here.

(but never have been a fan of IOI's timed online missions and weird connection demands)

We'll see what happens...

At this point they should try to contact the modders who made the offline mods for Hitman 2 & 3 to see if it would be possible to do something similar for H1.(If IOI is ok with that that is) I am not convinced that IOI will spend any time working on Hitman 1 when they are busy working on 3.

I just hope that Gog won't spend too much time investigating and at the end just release a fully unlocked save...

Just out of curiosity, how would you feel if GOG and IOI released a version where all equipment/locations/disguises/etc. are available offline, but they are all unlocked from the start, not tied to your progression like it is now? Also, when answering, please add whether you have you already played the game before somewhere else or not.

Good. I hope the articles and videos keep coming. The game needs to be delisted and fixed. Beyond that, we need a detailed explanation from GOG as to how it got here in the first place. No amount of new releases, shiny sales, fun collections, etc will change the need for that.

Why TF do they mumble into their mics so much where half the video I have to turn it up, and then they start talking at a normal volume? They need a sound engineer, or need to sound check their videos or something.

I would be fine with it.

That would be pretty terrible, it's basically like being forced to use a cheat code. Unlocking things is part of the gameplay, having them unlocked from the beginning is essentially skipping part of the game.

I mean, it'd be a solution, but I'd still feel pretty cheated out of the gameplay experience, it'd be akin to just using a cheat code instead of earning the content as reward for actually playing the game.
