I’m leaning towards this as the explanation, given general levels of carelessness observable in IOI’s social media presence & communication style recently.

I’m going with Hanlon’s razor here too. I think someone glanced at it, their brain went "youtube video about hitman. yes 
" and they clicked repost.
But I can’t lie, it would be incredible if someone went rogue

I want to believe so hard that Samir is going rogue.
Let me live this dream.

Yeah, I saw. R.I.P
On the plus side, that confirms he reads Reddit more than here.

“Leave the Bartoli. Take the Blueberry Muffins.”
At least good on IOI for going on bluesky.
Strange it was shadow made, they didn’t announced it on their other socials/X/twitter.
It’s kinda 101.

In fairness it’s hard to advertise Bluesky accounts on Twitter directly due to Elon.

The deletion seems to suggest that the repost was done without reading the post/watching the video… Not the best look.
Shame that they didn’t save the video and use it in the next livestream (still without first watching it). Would’ve been even funnier.

It’s not like the video title & thumbnail were even subtle either… not that it would even be a good excuse for accidentally reposting a highly critical video anyway, but still…
I can only assume the pretty picture of Sapienza is what caused the confusion. You know, in the same way a child might be drawn in by bright coloured toys in a toy shop.

Sometimes I think IOI likes messing with us.

A general message of “we expanded” with an associated picture of the bluesky logo seems to be the general template.
Another action is a post on Reddit, maybe asking the mods to pin it.
Seeing the current movements on the internet I’m sure both would be well engaged with.

Ok, we got to buy more and more. Does it ALLOW ME TO SAVE?? The game is no good to casual users/newbees IF we new comers cannot save and get frustrated and quite by “overtrying” over and over again while IOI smiles all the way to the bank.

I’m pretty sure that the game will even warn you when starting up the mission that you are spoiling the story. So in a way you are ruining the story by buying this version. Not that all people care about stuff like this, but still…

It’s only level 2, so not a giant spoiler but a new player wouldn’t necessarily know it’s only level two. To them it could be level 2 or it could be the last one.

I have now attempted communications with news outlets over Twitter and BlueSky by making an informative thread on both of the ongoing situation. Let’s hope our voices of anger and frustration can be heard on this issue

I have confirmed that the Steam Store has been updated with information on the Episode Upgrade Pack for Episode Sapienza.
However, the description still seems to be missing.
And since the “Upgrade Pack” includes “HITMAN 1 Complete First Season” and “HITMAN 1 GOTY Edition”, it is not clear what the actual situation is, but when someone who does not know the contents in detail sees the “Episode Upgrade Pack ” However, it would appear that buying the “Upgrade Pack” with almost the same contents is a better deal than buying the “Episode Upgrade Pack”.
Isn’t this a bit problematic?
