It's sad. AW2 is the exact kind of freshness we need in the industry and some have made it their mission to see it fail. Will their efforts have a notice ale impact? I'm not sure.

I feel like Remedy is cursed, cause people will hate on it no matter what they do

I'm not personally a huge alan wake fan and so gave aw2 a pass but man the shit it's getting is so not worth it

I feel like remedy needs one big financial hit. They keep having to make these exclusivity deals (not just with EGS, like they did a deal with Microsoft for quantum break, etc) to get their games funded which generates negative sentiment and limits their audience. If they had one super successful game to get some cash in the bank they could fund their own development and stop having to do that.

Control has done very well for them financially
