My point being, if BM had been an actual failure, IOI wouldn’t have bothered to continue it, even six years later. The reason they did is because it was so well regarded by the fan base that they felt they could safety make another. What this forum thought doesn’t matter; lots of things and opinions were different more than 15 years ago. What the wider Hitman and general gamin communities thought is what mattered. And to this day, those communities believe BM was, for a long time, one of the best, if not the best game in the series. Majority rules and all that.
