I don't know how they can book this shyt as an extraordinary loss. They are a video game company, this shyt happens. Sorry, I do accounting in real life brehs so this looks like window dressing for the balance sheet.
Yeah Season 1 was not an extraordinary loss for SE. SE made a huge profit overall the past year. Looks like they want focus on sh!tty Marvel/Disney games/franchices. They are losing 40 mil by dropping IOI.

Let's be honest Hitman is a relic of the 2000's, almost all of the attempts to update have been so-so at best. Some franchises need to die.

Nah, that franchise can go in several different directions. You are a hitman for hire breh. How can this ever get old if done correctly?

It might need another development team behind it, but it's got a great history.

Hitman 2 was the true jump-off point for that franchise. Part 1 on the PC felt more like a proof of concept.

IO developed arguably the best game in the series last year. I still give Blood Money the edge but IO gave us so much content and still giving. I wish there were more locations as many others probably do, but I got more than my money's worth of the game...and still discovering new sh!t.

They just don't seem to have that support for that franchise.

Rockstar would be PERFECT for this shyt now that it seems like Max Payne is dead.

Has it been confirmed that Max Payne is dead?
Nah, but where can they really go with the franchise? That story line at the end of part 3 was already running on fumes. Dude is no longer a cop, no family, sucks as a bodyguard, but is great at killing people...

Max Payne is the new hitman? :ohhh:

He did shave his head already :ohhh:
