I'd consider this an interesting intersection of software, business, and finance. There were a lot of games that tried the episodic release format (which many considered the future), but few ended up succeeding. Hitman is one of the last series still pushing this concept, and this final update is a pretty elegant bow on an otherwise messy pool of game content. It's not earth-shattering, but certainly curious and worth discussing.

Hitman 1 in this series was a bit of flop at the time because of the episodic model. I think they had the right idea, but not enough meaty content. Now with 21 maps and stacks of missions and puzzles doing regular map drops for $10 every few months seems like a really good way to create a really rich product.
