And because of the GDPR SE was unwilling to spend resources updating the service themselves. Because Absolution's Contracts Mode contained SE IP property, (for other games) SE chose to not release the servers to ioi during the split of the companies. The problem for Absolution is that ioi does not have access or control over the Contracts servers. The newer game servers are in full compliance of the GDPR. As a note: ioi owns, controls and updated the Contracts Mode servers that they have under their control for the newer games, that includes HITMAN (2016), HITMAN 2 (2018) and HITMAN 3 (2021). SE chose to shut down the Absolution Contracts Mode servers in response to the GDPR.Ĭan they be fixed and brought back online? In theory, yes. Many games and websites chose to shut down rather than spend the manpower and resources required to comply with the new laws. These changes required extensive back end changes of all existing server infrastructure in the world. In 2018 the European Union released new privacy laws known as the GDPR which demanded sweeping changes to how all servers and websites manage data and information. The contracts mode for Absolution used various SE licensed IP objects from other SE games (such as Tomb Raider, Deus Ex, etc) and because of this, SE chose to keep the contracts servers when ioi parted from their company. Due to various business decisions ioi split from SE to become independent in 2017. At the time Absolution was released in 2012, ioi (the developer) was an owned subsidiary of SE (the publisher).
