Hubi ( @Hubi@feddit.org ) English64•27 days agoI confirm that I’m never going to buy it then.
m-p{3} ( @mp3@lemmy.ca ) English53•27 days agoI’ll buy it when it comes to GOG then.
ditty ( @dditty@lemm.ee ) English45•27 days agoThe game wasn’t even profitable after a year as a result of not being on Steam, according to the article. Pretty interesting
dan1101 ( @dan1101@lemm.ee ) English23•27 days agoI guess they don’t want it to be profitable then. Maybe over the next 10 years it will break even on Epic.
Epic profittability is on Fortnite; there will be lot of skin based on Alan Wake franchise and, also, Fortnite ads everytime you launch AW2 form their launcher etc.
…as for Alan Wake franchise itself, well it goes in the
epic games store marketing black hole
Zacryon ( @Zacryon@feddit.org ) English27•27 days agoThat’s okay, since I am never coming to Epic Games. Seems only fair.
skozzii ( @skozzii@lemmy.ca ) English26•27 days agoThis is the bullshit that makes me hate Epic games. I want Fortnite to die already so Tim Sweeney can eff right off.
A exclusive war only one person is waging…
FartsWithAnAccent ( @FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io ) 25•27 days agoShame, I’m never buying a game from the Epic Store.
Oh well.
ErsatzCoalButter ( @ErsatzCoalButter@beehaw.org ) English20•27 days agomfw i don’t pay them money
Altima NEO ( @altima_neo@lemmy.zip ) English16•27 days agoSucks for Remedy then, since they won’t be getting my money.
Rakenclaw ( @Rakenclaw@fedia.io ) 15•27 days agoOh well, there are other games to buy.
hexorg ( @hexorg@programming.dev ) English14•27 days agoThat’s what they said about red dead redemption too
spooky2092 ( @spooky2092@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) English13•27 days agoDamn, and I was just about to break my “have never played Alan wake” streak…
Lojcs ( @Lojcs@lemm.ee ) English11•27 days agoHopium take 1:
There’s no reason they’d reveal their plans to bring it to steam early and cannibalize on the epic store salesHopium take 2:
Even if they don’t have plans right now if they ever want some quick money to meet targets or something it’s the prime candidateHopium take 3:
When or if remedy starts making money (like from control 2) they might buy the publishing rights backHopium take 4:
It’ll run better anyways when Alan wake 2 remastered comes out in 10 years pythonoob ( @pythonoob@programming.dev ) English9•27 days agoGuess I’ll never get it then.
JokeDeity ( @JokeDeity@lemm.ee ) English9•27 days agoI guess I’ll just wait till you dipshits give it to me for free or I’ll pirate it if I ever get the urge to play it.
