Alan Wake 2 was published by and likely would not exist without Epic. It is unlikely it will come to steam

Perhaps someday it’ll come to Steam so I can enjoy it. :/

Oh for sure I definitely agree there haha. As far as software is concerned I don’t like the epic store. Steam is much better on that front. But I also don’t have any true moral issue with the epic store. Especially for playing a game they funded. Epic also funded and published the Alan Wake remaster. They effectively were able to bring back a long dormant series, and for that I am happy since Alan Wake 2 ended up being one of my all time favorite games.
I wish they didn’t have to keep it in their store, since I like steam more, but at the end of the day I’m not too bothered by it

Is Control on steam? I have the GoG version. But that game is “multiplatform” then Alan Wake very well could be too
chloyster@beehaw.org 3 months ago
Control is on steam because it was published by 505 games.
Don’t get me wrong I’m anti epic buying exclusivity for games. But like if they fully funded the development and published it…

Ah gotcha. Thanks. I was assuming it was the same publisher .
And I agree with you. It’s been like that for forty years. I never understand why people get so upset over it recently.

Oh man, wanted to play AW2 someday. I didn’t know it was only on Epic. Fuck those guys.

Yea it’s just dumb and a waste of effort imo (Epic should focus on actually providing a functional store first, not second)
Supposedly Control 2 at they very least should be on Steam…
