Freelancer - Pre-Release Discussion

A possibility exists that Freelancer will be delayed in its release by IOI. We have not heard whether a delay is not forthcoming. This could not not be true or not true. One of these cases is likely true.

It’s a very unlikely one at this point, we’re days from launch, they’ve still been touting January 26th as the release date on their social media channels and even more so on their refreshed website.

If there was going to be a delay, IOI would’ve known it long before the week of and would’ve communicated a new timeframe instead of upholing the current one. I’m sure the CTT helped them a great deal on knowing what needed to be done.

EDIT: This tweet is now a thing:

very unlikely 
 but you can’t be absolutely sure. Almost completely sure, but not completely sure. Who knows? There could be a massive power outage in Denmark. Someone may have deleted all the files and the backup on mistake just before uploading onto the servers. Who knows?

We cannot know both the release date and timing of the release of Hitman Freelancer, with perfect accuracy.

Of Course not! That’s with anything.

That’s like knowing what your going to get for Secret Santa. (A bit late to use this but, ahh well)

Also don’t you think like that mate, very negative, but funny to read :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

I don’t even know if you are actually writing on the thread. You could be a bot. And Santa is not real by the way. As they say, the only two things that are real are death and taxes.

And I’m not so sure about death. Most of the death I see is in Hitman; that’s not real. :thinking:

Nope no tin cans here.

I do know that one mate, do you not know what secret Santa is?

If it is your chosen secret Santa for Xmas, then it is then your secret. If you want to reveal your secret, I won’t tell others.

Well the way the internet works these days, we can have a dual of avatars, where one dies.

In terms of taxes, I am sure that the government would like to receive a cut of the pay for service that Agent 47 receives. He may be charging a prorate based on whether it is death by strangulation, katana, toilet bowl drowning, exploding propane flask etc.

I would think that he would be renumerated for the cost of drycleaning of his signature 47 MKIII suit and black gloves, especially when it comes to a lot of blood spattering such as with a circumcision knife.

Which actually brings up an interesting question in regards to how 47, and ICA for that matter, charged for the service: is there a discount if the target is an asshole?

According to canon, 47 just does what he is told, and has no emotional attachment to the target that he kills.

Possibly he gets extra money for sponsorships just like an athlete, such as to use of Steinway & Sons piano wire for strangulation kills, or use of a Manchester Sureflame, for exploding Propane Tank or Motomco All-Weather Bait Chunks, which is considered one of the best rat poisons to use.

I don’t want to hear these words leave your mouth ever again! :joy::joy:

A possibility? Really? Why, what’s gotten you thinking that?
If there were some sort of power outage or severe thing impacting the online rollout, the delay would only be a day or a few. Not another massive months-long delay :sweat_smile:

Alright, Mr. Murphy’s Law

Also according to canon, he does have a sense of honor and enjoys karma and poetic Justice, as well as helping out civilians when he can. So, now that he’s in business for himself and it’s more about the pleasure of the work than the profit, would he, or Diana, or anyone in the business really, offer discounts on targets that they’d really like to see die? It’s an interesting notion now that 47’s in this place where it’s not just about the contract, but also about why he’s taking it. I dunno, just seems it would be funny to me.

Death? Yes. Taxes? Not for everyone. Some ppl don’t pay them
. Legally.

There must have been a past discussion about targets people have been sad to eliminate. I can think of a few.

Well, there is a slim possibility that Mr. Murphy has an stroke and then we can’t invoke his law out of respect for the late Mr. Murphy and his law of foreseen, but unlikely coincidences that happen to come true.
