The fact that this is the state the franchise is in is precisely why I won't be playing it any time soon. I don't want to completely reconfigure my gaming setup to accommodate moving my bedroom PS5 to my desk to play long story titles like this, so I get to play the waiting game instead. Bonus points if they go for secondary Epic exclusivity, because the HITMAN III launch was such a disaster on PC that I'd really rather not buy anything else from there.

It's just an unnecessary hassle and, as someone who only recently got into the franchise with XV, it's actively preventing me from bothering to really stick with it instead of just playing another Yakuza or something.

Edit: Like I'm sure it's not an issue for 90% of people but I literally cannot be assed to go out of my way just because they chose not to make it convenient.
