  I was part of the 50% who were let go during SQEXIT in 2017, and I vouch for every statement made by my former colleagues in this doc. Everything considered, both IO and SE handled the layoffs gracefully, and gave incredible support to ensure we&apos;d land on our feet. Thank you Noclip for this pristine documentary, it made me feel so proud of the parts I played in getting HITMAN (2016) off the ground.

  They dropped IOI to invest in the Avengers game. Ironic.

  It’s really amazing and refreshing to hear that Square was so cool and supportive throughout their breakup

  Fast forward a couple of years and the Avengers game is absolute shit that nobody is playing and Hitman 3 is the biggest commercial success the franchise ever had

  Hitman 2016 and Hitman 2 are among the greatest games of this generation.

  Them releasing an episode for free to get people into the game was such a smart decision. <br>It&apos;s basically a modern version of shareware. <br><br>Game demos don&apos;t really exist much anymore, since making a demo costs a lot more time and effort than you might think, but for Hitman they can &quot;just&quot; say that such-and-such level is free, and that&apos;s the &quot;demo&quot;. Brilliant.

  Really cool to finally learn more about IO, and also tonally appropriate as a follow-up to the Telltale documentary. Not shying from the human side of the break from Square Enix, but also the resilience of those who stayed I hope would cause parent companies to stay their hand a bit to let the developer work it out.

  Watching this now and seeing Eidos/Crystal Dynamics placing their bets on the shambles that is Marvels: Avengers is comical, and I’m so glad that a fantastic Dev team like IOI were able to deliver their vision of the Hitman Trilogy. Excited for more news on 007 🙊

  As an avid Hitman fan and player since Codename 47, I found this documentary fascinating and beautifully compiled, with compassion. &nbsp;I look forward to the next part.
