We really need to stop phrasing it this way. It is not "live service" or "single player". You can be multiplayer and not live service; you can be single player and live service. If I'm not playing live service games, it's not because I don't enjoy multiplayer. I love multiplayer games. I just hate games that are designed to self-destruct.
True, it's a curse that the hitman reboot trilogy is one of my favorite "games" of all time. Simply nothing can match it for me, not even the older titles in the same franchise. And it's always online. If they don't offer a contingency plan for end of life down the line my favorite experience will eventually disappear.
This is not a pass for IO Interactive, but fans have reverse engineered the server and made a bootleg one, to my understanding.
That's good to know! I am a bit tied to my true account, I'm at some ungodly multiple hundreds of levels and have challenge hunted more than I do in most games, but if I can still play all the maps and freelancer mode etc. with server emulation down the line that would be absolutely amazing.
