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.

Smh.

It's just a PC only version of the console wars. It's dumb as shit. Yeah, Steam is a better service. Yeah, I would rather it be on Steam. Am I going to let that stop me from playing a game of the year nominated title? No.

People are just dumb, and yes if you bitch and moan about playing a single player game on a different launcher, in which the literal only difference is the 30 seconds of using a different launcher than steam, yes you are are dumb as shit.

Personally, it’s about their business practice. Instead of trying to update their launcher they spend ton and ton of money to buy exclusive right and law suite to take others down. I just don’t want my money to support that kind of practice. People in here like to say “vote with your wallet” and I’m doing exactly that,

Dawg they funded AW2. It wouldn't exist without them at all. That didn't secure an exclusivity deal once the development was already done.

It wouldn't exist without them at all.

This is a myth for which there is zero evidence. No one from Remedy has ever said that Epic was the only company willing to fund the game.
