can't believe it
For comparison, Dying Light 2 sold 5 million copies in its first month. I wonder why it was more popular.
doubt many people had DI2 being a success on their bingo cards for 2023

Alan Wake 2 is only $50 on PC compared to $60 on console.
It's a nice gesture since they don't have to pay a platform commission on PC. They could have easily got away with charging $60 on EGS. Regardless, I'm renting it on console so the only thing Epic will get from me is telemetry data.

I guess I'm not renting it.

jesus I know some people had limited expectation for a AW2 success but even them would have never though the game would end up being digital only
I'll just wait until they give it away at Christmas a couple of years down the line.
I didn’t expect it, nor did I expect to be interested in it myself. Just looks like fun, with some very impressive gore.
Hope it comes to Steam.
Would be like $45 if it was on GMG and full priced
But I think i'll wait to see if there's Steam version eventually.
Awesome game, but you can tell their giveaway budget was slashed compared to prior years.
Epic published a physical edition of Alan Wake: Remastered. Despite all the flowery language about how AW2 being digital only will help YOU, the consumer, I'd guess it didn't sell very well at retail and they have a lot of left over stock and don't want to repeat that with AW2.
That's true. I still think a Steam (and GOG) version will happen as Steve Allison said they would be exclusive for "a long time" and not permanently, but you're looking at several years.Would be like $45 if it was on GMG and full priced
But I think i'll wait to see if there's Steam version eventually.
I'm a VERY patient gamer
Also, by waiting for a self-published Steam version, at least my money goes to Remedy and not to Epic. I will not support their quest to lock PC games to their shitty store in any way.
The fact that Epic doesn't bother to make a retail version for AW2, proves once again that they have no issues taking people's choice away if it benefits them one way or another. The €50 price on PC is only meant to push as many buyers towards EGS as possible. I hope people at least consider this before buying the game. No doubt other publishers are following this experiment with lots of interest.
The FTC fine must have done a number on Epic's giveaway budget.
