    A Low Budget Alan Wake would have been better than one that doesn’t sell a single copy because putting it on Epic is the marketing equivalent of proudly announcing that your product is loaded with anthrax.

    It’s a platform that literally struggles to GIVE games away.

    I realize there was no other choice, but if they expected to sell a product on EPIC they were smoking that pack.

    As for would it have done well in crowdfunding? Probably Alan Wake is a name everyone knows as “One of the horror greats”

    It wouldn’t have gotten 50 million though

      I don’t follow. As a fan, I get to play the game either way. Why would a lower budget version that more people buy be “better” for me? It might be better for the companies involved, it might even make future installments easier to sell to investors which means I get more games. But at the end of the day, as a player I end up with a worse AW2. Why would I want that?
