With initial hype but failed promises, live service games have gotten a lack of trust from players due to poor performance. Therefore, is it worth investing?
Well my friend, It simply shows that a perfectly crafted single-player experience can offer just as much, if not more, fun than a live-service solution.
We really need to stop phrasing it this way. It is not “live service” or “single player”. You can be multiplayer and not live service; you can be single player and live service. If I’m not playing live service games, it’s not because I don’t enjoy multiplayer. I love multiplayer games. I just hate games that are designed to self-destruct.
True, it’s a curse that the hitman reboot trilogy is one of my favorite “games” of all time. Simply nothing can match it for me, not even the older titles in the same franchise. And it’s always online. If they don’t offer a contingency plan for end of life down the line my favorite experience will eventually disappear.
That’s good to know! I am a bit tied to my true account, I’m at some ungodly multiple hundreds of levels and have challenge hunted more than I do in most games, but if I can still play all the maps and freelancer mode etc. with server emulation down the line that would be absolutely amazing.

This is not a pass for IO Interactive, but fans have reverse engineered the server and made a bootleg one, to my understanding.
