Sure but that cunt still keeps the money, money that basically came out of the players pockets.

    He was very obvs an asshole before, granted.

    But what do you want them to do? Sue him for damages after they kicked him? Maybe they should reconsider their contracts in the future and add clauses for "if it later becomes known you are the scum of the earth, this contracts is voided and you owe us the money + damages", but would this stand up? Without looking further into it, they did all they could do. But maybe I'm too lenient.

    Dude was already a known abuser before IOI gave him a bag of money not just an asshole, basically punching people that didn’t kiss his feet. He even punched an old man who refused a drink McGregor offered. I would have liked that they never gave him any money. Hence why I stopped buying their games, if they had a lapse of judgement before they might have it again in the future.

    Aleight, I looked it up and the first case was brought way before the release of the DLC. Also, he appeared with the turd in chief, which I forgot about. Not buying hitman games in the future either, although they made it to my wishlist some weeks ago. Opinion changed, thanks!

    I still don't get the appeal of having celebrities in video games in the first place tbh. Screams to me "we have a lot of money to throw at this game but no idea how to use it to make a fun game so instead we'll buy some name recognition".
