Remedy on releasing Alan Wake 2 on Steam
>game still not profitable
>winning
EGSgays have brain damage
How do you fall for such simple bait?
>EGSgays have brain damage
lol Steamgay can't comprehend that making games is above everything. enjoy your microtrasnsactions cuck.
enjoy your NFT scam games lol
Delusional
EGS is the premier store for crypto scam games.
Timmy accepted them when steam told them to frick off, and for no other reason than that
poor reading comprehension skills and its consequences. Tim paid for a real long awaited game to be made. the fact that he tolerates some fad means nothing, the market has already decided they are shit, which means Gabe's regulations meant nothing. go back to buying $30 dollar CS skins cuck.
>game barely sold on the shitass launcher
> WE WON TIMMY CHUDS
i'll buy it day 1 on steam
>implying anyone would buy it there anyways
>MUH HECKIN WOKE
Max Payne 2 flopped.
Alan Wake 1 flopped.
Quantum Break flopped.
Control flopped.
What do they have in common? White main characters, 3 of them are men. Why didn't you buy the games, anons?
Because Sam Lake is a hack.
The only game that was decent was Max Payne 1 and that was because they had a budget of $3.50 so they had to cut corners everywhere then use unique ways to hide it which resulted in pure unadulterated kino with lots of SOVL.
>Why didn't you buy the games, anons?
>if it's not a skyrim tier success it's a flop.
only Quantum Break really flopped and that's on MS
Alan Wake 1 sold 4 million after 5 years.
Control sold 2 million copies after 1 year and 5 months.
Alan Wake 2 is at 1.3 million after 6 months.
Wasn’t it 1.3 million after 4 months?
thanks for proving my point.
? its selling faster than the others at this point in time. also max payne 2 heavily underperformed and failed which is why rockstar shelved the ip for so long and took it away from remedy.
>Despite a positive reception, Max Payne 2 sold poorly, leading Rockstar Games' parent company Take-Two Interactive to cite the "continued disappointing sales of Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne" as one of the causes for the company's reforecasted sales for 2004
AW2 is arguably their weakest game in a while, I don't see sales picking up for it
>AW2 is arguably their weakest game in a while
is it?
>AW2 is arguably their weakest game in a while
true but that's because of wokeism not Tim. you don't get to put sales poison as the front of your game and get away with it.
this is a very weird sentence, the 2 problems AW2 is performance which is awful and not enough combat encounters but overall as a package it's definitely the strongest since Max Payne 2. OST, voiceacting, visual direction, atmosphere and story are all fantastic while the combat is a relatively good REmake clone. While Control was better in the combat department it suffered by weird balancing, shitty RNG loot mechanics and not enough challenge towards the end so I'd still rank my satisfaction with the combat the same as AW2. Liked Quantum Break's story but everything else was meh.
Alan Wake 2 not selling like hotcakes is exclusively the problem of it being an EGS exclusive, it's selling better than Control thanks to all the publicity and word of mouth it had but people just don't want to buy stuff on Timmy's moronic feature poor store
The story was underbaked all the way through and crumbles completely at the end succumbing to post-modern self-aware millennial writing. About 35% of the game is actually playing as Alan, where you're often playing within the confines of the same location. If you enjoyed the musical segment that's a plus for you but that can be a huge negative depending who you ask. As more people play it, discussion will be interesting to read since it's a pretty divisive game. I wouldn't say the writing is great, it was clearly revised in the middle of development and left me disappointed even after playing it about 7 months ago.
although I don't agree with you on the writing I see your point. I think we'll get real discussion only after all the DLC drop + 6 months. At launch you couldn't talk about it because people called you a shill for any opinion on the game and after that you had months of people screeching SBI troony/Alan Woke if you dared mention the game.
>The story was underbaked all the way through and crumbles completely at the end succumbing to post-modern self-aware millennial writing
You have never even written a short story. You dont know what good writing is.
also
>Alan, where you're often playing within the confines of the same location
Musical set, haunted hotel, cinema, dark place city hub, subway station, forest.
Meanwhile Saga has: forest, small town, haunted house, cofvefe world
Apart from covfefe world, Alan definitely has the more interesting locations.
>About 35% of the game is actually playing as Alan
This is a major non-criticism. Twin Peaks Season 3 which the game is heavily inspired by only had the protagonist appear with his normal personality for literally only like 5% of the season.
>>if it's not a skyrim tier success it's a flop.
Max Payne 2 resulted in the series being sold to Rockstar and no games in the series being made for almost a decade.
Alan Wake's sequel literally got cancelled and Sam Lake had to make an apology video.
Quantum Break was objectively not successful since Remedy got dropped by MS.
Ironically, Control was the sole success of those games listed.
Yeah Epic still published Alan wake 2, what a shocker.
Depends on contract I guess. Alan wake 1 was published by microsoft but remedy got the rights back later. Dunno if they bought those or it was some timed thing
>At the moment AW2 is on EGS
That's the second reason why the sales are so low.
>lol why is MS releasing their exclusives on other platforms, don’t they know that exclusives sell consoles?
>no I would never download a second storefront, for free, to play a GOTY candidate, l’ll only play it if it comes to the storefront I like
>we hope PC gamers find it there
no you don't, because even you are not that stupid to believe that will happen. nobody is going to play anything on egs, period.
you haven't recouped your costs for a reason clowns, well many reasons but that's one of them
>you haven't recouped your costs for a reason
epic paid the whole thing. they got their money back
culture wars require that remedy self published game on egs because they're dumb and thats why they also added a Black person in the game, because they hate white people and they're also about to go bankrupt because they didnt get any money from aw2
can't tell if you're genuine moron or some 8 year old trying to "troll" people on interwebz
>they're also about to go bankrupt because they didnt get any money from aw2
All their games take ages to break even. Control took 5 years to sell 4 million copies and Alan Wake 2 so far is selling faster than that game, actually.
On top of that, Remedy is getting a lot of money from Sony (marketing), Epic (exclusivity, publishing), 505 Games (publishing) and Tencent (investment).
>Control took 5 years to sell 4 million copies and Alan Wake 2 so far is selling faster than that game, actually.
Anon... Control only got that extra two million because of the second wind it got from the Steam release.
Guess what's not getting that.
and thats a GOOD THING
And that's why they are hoping. They know that EGS is a place where games left to die but they couldn't make this game without Epic.
evidently not enough people are finding the game on ebin
too bad!
Tim paid for the game.
He's not letting Gaben have it.
Same as the ports for the old kingdom hearts games that he refuses to sell anywhere else (nobody is paying $150 for the collection of old sqeenix games anyway so eh)
I genuinely didn't even know it was on PC until now.
Sorry, Timmy, I found it on torrent site instead.
Epic is so hypocritical when it comes to these things, the only way they can get people to use their platform is by holding games hostage (and even then it doesn't work)
timed exclusives can suck my nuts
Yeah Timmy claims monopolies are bad, yet he has no problem if he's ruling one himself.
Unlike with a lot of the other sellouts, Timmeh footed the bill for Lake's magnum opus from the start, and so frankly it's only fair that it's exclusive to the Ebin store for as long as he feels like it.
>to use their platform is by holding games hostage
>i made a child
>im holding it hostage
>painyfully average remedy tps #4
>when you ask anyone about the game the first that comes up is the musical
tim actually paid for this
Genuinely curious but has any paid epic game exclusive game ever been succeful?
I think that when they released some numbers back then, only Borderlands 3 was their biggest release everything else flopped
RDR2
Also on Rockstar Games Store at launch.
Also, if I remember correctly there was some analyst data that said when RDR2 reached 1 million copies sold on PC, 600k of them were just on Steam.
we saw from the trial the only game that was remotely successful was borderlands 3, the only thing that came close was satisfactory.
Hades was EGS exclusive for a while. It was a popular game there and sold well, when it came out on Steam a lot of people also bought it.
>It was a popular game there and sold well
citation needed
Noclip's documentary of developing hades. The devs said the game did well there. They didn't say how much but I remember a lot of streamers were playing Hades when it was still exclusive to EGS.
I won't lie, when it launched on Steam it did really well compared to EGS launch, and I think that's proof of Hades popularity even before Steam.
>but I remember a lot of streamers were playing Hades when it was still exclusive to EGS
They were paid to promote it
Did they?
Yeah, because Steam is still the biggest market for games and they are not under an exclusivity deal anymore. EGS probably is missing some features aswell that makes technical tests way harder to do.
That doesn't take away from the fact that Hades did well there, I'm not arguing or speculating about anything else, or the quality of EGS as a store, cause I don't use it. I use Steam or GOG.
If someone uses gog it would mean they're not a "gotta buy gaben a new yacht" steam fanatic, and there would be zero reason not to use ESG too
How does one back freedom from DRM and then backs the absolute worst DRM guy around exactly?
I mean, GOG covers areas that steam doesn't and is also DRM-Free, EGS doesn't do much aside from exclusives and free games, which is why I don't use it.
well its like, if you go through the process of clicking the mouse button a dozen times to get a launcher installed, your cc details provided to the site once, the barrier of doing it for another launcher is very small
and then you can play video games through it
>That doesn't take away from the fact that Hades did well there
Not from what we saw in the Apple trials.
Maybe the free epic exclusivity bux helped Supergiant but the only game that turned a profit during those years on Epic was Borderlands 3.
I remember when that was going on, did they disclose their profits and game sales during it? Do you have a link?
Think about it this way.
Hades 2 came to Steam day one and had its massive technical test on Steam alone. Not Epic.
It was in early access in that period
I dont think so because if it were the case timmy would parade this news day and night
Im always thinking about that one indie dev who said epic made 1% of all sales
It's not like there's a vampire's curse preventing Epic from putting Alan Wake 2 on EGS. Timmy just has his head up his ass.
>Borderlands 3
>Satisfactory
That's it.
AIEEEEE I AIN'T BUYING UNLESS IT'S ON STEAM, GABE NEEDS ANOTHER YATCH
satisfactory was one of the only ones
Unless they make a non-woke patch, I'm not interested.
>TimmyCHADS winning hard
Yeah, thanks for paying for my copy Tim
nobody wants that Black person poop on steam
They really wanted to put it on steam i guess, Tim destroyed their (non existant) marketing.
But well, 50 bucks is 50 bucks.
But remedy already got paid for it. It's the investors that took L. Devs love shit like ESG or timmy EGS because they can get paid even if the game doesn't do well commercially.
Dead Island 2 has Epic spyware on Steam btw.
Epic is killing PC
>Can't leave Epic even if they wanted to
>This means they'll never actually make a profit because EGS is a marketing black hole
lmao
I don't get peoples problem with EGS, that being said, no one's missing out by not playing AW2, and I bought the deluxe edition day one. Everything good it does you can get from watching a playthrough, actually playing the game can be laborious
aw2 was thoroughly high quality experience
it looks consistently great, voice acting and lipsyncs great, the writing is some of the best in gaming
>we hope PC gamers find it there
>we hope
>we
>hope
So they haven't yet? Lmao, nice "win" Timtam.
Don't really give a shit about your pozzed blackrock AAA slop anyway.
>Signing a contract with Epic was a good ide-ACK
You don't need Steam or EGS to sell your game. I would've considered if you just had your own site where you sell the exe. Look at Starsector.
why would you ever bother with that
The fact that they are sticking to their beliefs and not bending the knee to monopoly shills is pretty based not gonna lie
AW2 is fricked.
Can't even release the game on Steam because Epic is publishing it on PC and console - no way they would ever let that happen. Even if it would make their money back. Tim is too much of a stubborn moron to do whats best for his company and Remedy.
They released AW1 and Control on GOG, so Epic might let Remedy release it on there as well in a couple of years.
>Tim is too much of a stubborn moron to do whats best for his company and Remedy.
Timmy laid off 900 people to further his metaverse dream of having Fortnite be a shitty Roblox knockoff. Funny thing is that the new game modes they've added have all been flops and the player base is almost down to where it was last year before they had to do the layoffs. He's a straight up incompetent businessman.
literally no one except journalists played this shit game
Me and my brother did
It was one huge astroturfing campaign
i did and liked it. ill also buy the expansions
Not only it's not on steam but also has no physical release. I guess publisher literally holding them as hostage.
no steam no buy
simple as that
How’s the PS5 version? Worth it to not have to use the epic shit store?
>How's the PS5 version?
It's fine/good. My PS5 is my multiplat machine at this point since my PC is a shitbox now and I don't feel like upgrading. But yeah it's fine.
>EGS redirects their funds to publish games
>they fund and publish Alan Wake 2
>people predictably seethe that it's not on steam
Maybe if Gaben funded games instead of buying yachts and sports cars then he'll have more steam exclusives too. He doesn't need to if you couldn't tell as many publishers already sell their games exclusively on steam.
Having literally yesterday finished the Alan Wake 1 for the first time, not only am I not interested in buying it on Epic, but the changes to the gameplay and structure really don't make me interested in a sequel that goes in the worst direction from a game that already had problems.
