Do not give your money to Chinese companies while they continue to put people in concentration camps, illegally harvest inmates organs, and try and destroy the sovereignty of any nation's bordering them.

Ugh. This was the one game that I would have bought on Steam on day one. Normally I wait for 50% off sales, since I've got such an enormous backlog on Steam and GOG to keep me occupied (especially now that I bought a modern rig last year). See you all in a year and half, I guess? Edit: They probably need reliable money now that they are independent, but I am not such a fanboy that I am going to go blindly along with all their decisions. I am a needy and fickle consumer!

So how well does Hitman run on PS4?

I probably won't be playing Hitman 3 for a long time but Dartmoor should be a great location. It's a beautiful part of the country and I've been waiting for another UK map since Contracts.

I'll just get it on my PSpoor then lol I wonder if unlocks would be tied to the io account or the actual save file though? I have Hitman 1 from PS+ or something on there.

I'm pretty sure they've confirmed that h3 was gonna carry over unlocks. I'm not too bothered I guess. Might be kinda fun going back into the levels full on sight procurement style. Hokkaido was at its best before I unlocked items.

This is ridiculous because it's so impossible to actually enforce in your life making a huge stink about it honestly kind of comes off as racist. You can't "vote with your wallet" against loving China, so giving it undue emphasis is weird. The Chinese government is loving terrible, don't get me wrong, but the way you're framing this is absurd.

One day a man was walking along the beach when he noticed a boy picking something up and gently throwing it into the ocean. Approaching the boy, he asked, “What are you doing?” The youth replied, “Throwing starfish back into the ocean. The surf is up and the tide is going out. If I don’t throw them back, they’ll die.” “Son,” the man said, “don’t you realize there are miles and miles of beach and hundreds of starfish? You can’t make a difference!”After listening politely, the boy bent down, picked up another starfish, and threw it back into the surf. Then, smiling at the man, he said…” I made a difference for that one.” Just because you can't be perfect doesn't mean you should give up. In this case it's just as easy for me to not support the CCP as it is for me to pay them my money. This sort of I can't do anything so I won't even try is why things don't happen

My point is: one, that specifically hyperfixating on the CCP is loving weird, especially considering that a lot of the anti-China stuff in the games space these days is pretty racist. Two, you don't actually seem to be doing anything else to divest yourself from China, you're just not downloading a games launcher you don't like.

"If you can't divest yourself from the CCP in every way possible, just don't bother" is some real hot poo poo. China is in every aspect of America's supply chain, we've shipped them gobs of our industrial capacity, we (as a society) hosed up real bad. Of course some rando deciding not to support Tencent isn't going to solve the problem, but it's a moral decision and they are entitled to make it. Mocking them is poo poo.

That's not what I'm saying at all. I'm probably just getting worked up because the anti-EGS discourse is so loving awful and stupid, but it's weird to get all self-righteous about not downloading a games launcher, something it seems you already had no plans to do.

My number one problem with EGS exclusives is that the games never start with "we're going to be exclusive for a year", it's always a surprise several months later. I understand that's probably how they work, but the bait and switch really leaves a sour taste in my mouth. e: Starting with "hitman 3 in 2022 okay" would have been better instead of being hyped for it coming next year, at least in my case.

Presumably all the missions and stuff from 1+2 on Steam will still transfer to the Ebin version?

It just rings extremely hollow to me that EGS is the only thing where China's crimes seem to matter, almost as if it's not really about China but people are just mad that Steam isn't a monopoly anymore and want an excuse to be mad about it. e.g. Tencent having a 40% stake in Epic is apparently a dealbreaker but their stakes in Bluehole/PUBG, Grinding Gear Games/Path of Exile (80% ownership!), Actiblizzard, etc almost never come up.

It's incredibly dumb. Anyway, yes, your progress and location unlocks are tied to your IOI account, so the launcher doesn't matter in terms of progress: quote:HITMAN 3 pre-orders are scheduled to go live later this month and we’re pleased to have an updated line-up of platforms. In January 2021, you’ll be able to play HITMAN 3 on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, Google Stadia and PC, where the game will be available exclusively via Epic Games Store for 12 months.

If you have a genuine issue with concentration camps and not respecting the sovereignty of other nations you probably shouldn't be buying anything on Steam either

There’s plenty of reasons to not like the Epic Games Store and not want to do business with it that are unrelated to the creeping, intertwined nature of capitalism and the futility of boycotting.
