Alan Wake II is Remedy's Entertainment fastest selling game, but still hasn't recouped development and marketing expenses.

    I would have bought it if it hadn’t been an Epic exclusive. Maybe when it releases on Steam.

      Agreed. I loved the first but I’m not going to install epic for one game

          So to compensate for a poor service that is epic game launcher you have to turn to oss solution maintained by the community thanklessly while still giving epic the 25% cut of your sale? I’d rather not give epic any money at all

            As I previously said, I don’t advocate for buying from Epic. But if it happens that you have some games from their Store (for whatever reason, like ones you got for free) there are alternatives to their client.

          I primarily play on TV and VR so big picture is already my interface of choice

          Edit: does it even support Steam? They’re not advertising it on the FAQ:

          Support for launching games from the Epic Games Store and GOG

            You add the game in Heroic, and it has a menu option to add the game to Steam. There’s another setting that will do this automatically, once the game is installed.

          I use playknight, though I still don’t buy from epic.

          Play knight gives me an overview of all humble keys I haven’t used as well as gog, steam, epic, etc.

          Just helps me make sure I don’t buy a game on sale that I own

      I’m sure there are many who share that sentiment. I tend to forget games even exist if they’re Epic exclusive.

      I’ll wait for the GOG release, I have Control there already.

      I don’t particularly hate epic,but ~90% of my games are on steam,so I don’t really install the rest cause I don’t need to.

      that being said,I will buy it when and if it comes to steam. if not,oh well…

      I have to assume they did the math and concluded an epic exclusive was still the more lucrative option.
