It was also on sale at the all time low from Nov 27 - dec 3...

...but that's completely unrelated no doubt.

That's the misleadingly labelled demo though.

Hitman has the single worst video game edition system by a long shot.

The demo with a "90% sale" is only used for marketing, the actual game has never had a sale >50%. This fucking game keeps appearing at the top of my Steam wishlist when sorted by "Discount" despite its mediocre sale percentages.

Eh, it's 1/3 of the trilogy, and the entirety of hitman 1 (2016), $3 is an insane value for that.

Still super scummy to break it out like that and try to trick people in.
