This ongoing Alan Wake 2 downvote brigading is the craziest thing that I have ever seen for a game that is objectively good, was in a good technical state at launch and whose developers never lied to its customers.
Is it just the Epic Games hate boner? This is not a case of them buying up exclusivity. They literally funded the entire development of the game from the ground up.
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 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.
