GOG users are not satisfied with Hitman’s online requirements
Although the early “Hitman” games have been on GOG for some time, the work of the “Assassination World” trilogy recently composed by IO Interactive has not. The first of them, Killer-Game of the Year Edition, Arrived at GOG this week and currently has a 70% discount, but it is not as popular as Agent 47’s other outings.
With a total score of 1.4 stars (out of 5 stars), it is the lowest-rated killer on GOG, even Killer: Pardon scored 4 stars (out of 5)Most user reviews are critical of the newer killer for the same reason: “In any sense, this game is not DRM-free”, as Sheershaw rated it as a one-star review.
Not only does Hitman need an internet connection to use online features such as user-created contracts, leaderboards, and time-limited elusive goals, but it also needs to improve your mastery progress. Otherwise, you will not be able to unlock new equipment, additional loading slots, different starting positions, or different pickup points when you replay the mission.
GOG users claimed that this betrayed both the platform’s anti-DRM stance and the store’s description of the killer. “There is a text on the sidebar’DRM FREE. No activation or online connection is required to play the game.’, but I don’t think it can exceed a small part of the game content,” emme wrote. According to Neurus_Ex, “For both publishers, this is totally shameful because they did not use the actual DRM-free version, and on the GoG side, it was sold as a’DRM-free’ version, which is clearly not a case. “
