Ok ive been keeping this to myself for too long.
Everytime the Hitman games are mentioned it is refered to as Eidos´s game and Eidos´s famous bald assasin and all that. No matter how much Eidos tries to cover it the game and game idea is still made by the Danish company called IO Interactive so everytime i see its called an Eidos game i get the impression that because something is Danish it has to be crap?, so Eidos cover a brilliant game with the Eidos brand because ohh Eidos is british so that must be perfect. Ofcourse i know Eidos is part of it but they are only the publisher and NOT the creators. They are not the ones busting their ass to make a great game, they only publish it and think that gives them the right to smack their name on it and actually "steal" it. for example: If you notice when you start a Hitman game you see the Eidos screen first. Also look at the box it says Eidos with capital letters at least twice on a box and IO Interactive in a little box in the corner or the middle.
The reason why i get so pissed everytime i see its an Eidos game is because danes doesnt have alot of great things known in the world, and the Hitman series is one of the best things we offer to the world.
IO seem to know this since they put in small hints of Denmark in the games, like:
The Agency logo in the first game had the letters D.K on each side of the skull meaning Danske Konger (Danish Kings), it also had a crown on the head to symbolize a kingdom
In Hitman 2 - Silent Assasin you see on news papers that Denmark won the worldcup in 2002 i think it was
In Hitman Blood Money on the training level you hear the speaker speak english with an accent because hes a dane called Rasmus Højengaard
This is something you may not see but the office in the final sequence in Hitman Blood Money is modeled after one of the rooms in IO Interactives HQ in Copenhagen
Also in that cutscene will you hear Diana say "your majesty" on the phone refering to Droning Magrethe II af Danmark (Queen Margaret II of Denmark)

The thing that really tipped the tray for me was the announcement on the new Hitman movie they are working on, and once again it was refered to as Eidos´s game.
Thats all i really have to say about that for now. You may agree or disagree, i would like to know what you think about this subject
