Hitman went ignored by so many due to its episodic nature, and then the retail release came and went with a whimper and no promotion. It's a shame.
It sold pretty well though didn't it?

Is it confirmed that the rights to the franchise belong to Square Enix?
For comparison:
Hitman Absolution: Owners: 3,020,229 ± 50,168
Hitman: Owners: 631,227 ± 23,003
Hitman Absolution also shipped 3.6 million in a few months whereas presumably Hitman is no where near that.

Why do I have the scary feeling that they are going to rush/cut content of KH3 :sThey spend too long on high budget games and then expect their other games to move insane numbers to prop them up.
I refuse to believe Absolution sold 3 million on Steam alone.

I think someone will probably buy them, especially among boutique publishers.
ZeniMax (Bethesda) would be a good fit if they're not panicked about Providence also trying to sell them off.

That may have been a factor as well, but lets face it: Absolution shit the bed. The franchise was tainted after someone decided to fuck it up and make a linear game out of it. Backlash was huge, even though it sold well and the initial hype was strong. Once you played it though...uuuggghhhh.As much as I think the episodic nature actually helped the game from a quality standpoint, I think it hurt it from a sales perspective.
Giant Bomb's GOTY! (if that means anything, lol). Idle Thumbs guys were also enamored with it for a while. Were there a lot of technical problems? I only remember a lot of griping about the online-only business.It had good reception ? I only remember first part being bad technically on PC.
Damn Hitman and mankind devided were my 2016 Favourite titles, both of them are dead

So SE is at a loss solely due to Hitman?
Does that impact their other non-IO titles?
