Eh, there is no shortage of devs out there that deserve support either. Many of which release their games to the convenience of the player and focus on being fun and interesting rather than poisoning their product with racist DEI bullshit. I'll give my money to them instead.
because that's autehtic dialog
Epic funded the game, as far as I'm aware.
Yeah no way I'm buying this unless there's a physical version.
bingo, woulda bought it day 1
Karma for this:
If you want to see some real loss porn, go visit Embracer and Amazon’s game development vertical.
With the ammount of commentaries like this I'm still amazed how little companies know about their public. Sure, the split may be 65:35 to digital but that's accounting aaaaaall type of games and gamers. You release a top tier, GPU demanding, narrative driven, hardcore 360 era referenced, single player videogame and GASP! The buyers are not the kids that are installing Fortnite! Cannot be!
It's a great game, except for anything that has to do with the gameplay I'm afraid.
Amazon has multiple revenue streams to cover losses. Remedy does not.
what's the context?
Ah, I wasn't aware of that.
AW1's 5M sold is also across a decade, included in bundles and dumped at bargain bin prices.
Flip side is if Epic would not have been involved, perhaps this would have launched on Steam day 1. That’s what i’m waiting for.
He wasn't wrong though, "woke western culture" is a monoculture with identical precepts in every part of Europe, every part of the US, every part of Australia, every part of Canada, etc... Did you not wonder why a Finnish studio is producing social commentary on the struggles of American black women in the first place?I’m now wary how many of the negative “opinions” online are from people who actually played the game.
Caught someone on gamefaqs whining about “Alan Woke” and how garbage the game was and he hated playing it and so on, and he then said, “and can these ‘diverse-loving’ western games acknowledge any culture besides America?! There’s more than white and black Americans in the world you know!”
And I was like, “bruh, do you think Finland is located within the U.S.? Do you think Norse mythology originated from the U.S.?”
And he responded with, “what do either of us have to do with Alan Wake?”
Good point. I remember it flopping back in the day so I was honestly surprised that it even got a sequel. Now they are depending on AW2 to sell even more to hold up the company for the year, why?
Everyone was surprised at a sequel. Not surprisingly it didnt sell great.
I don’t support EGS and I prefer physical media. So either the game is on Steam or I can get a physical copy for the console. It’s a fairly straightforward ask.
But that was your counter-argument to the "Alan Woke" Gamefaqs post, challenging his assertion with the implication that Finland is a far off foreign land with its own rich culture that has nothing to do with woke American politics. Yet here we are, and these are indeed some of the themes in Alan Wake 2.
If she is written to have a chip on her shoulder about white people, then sure.
I believe Remedy is internally referring to it as Project Condor. They recently trademarked "FBC: Firebreak" name, so I assume that might be this game
Alan Woke you say.
BRUH. I wasn’t pointing out in my first post that Remedy is Finland. I was pointing out that there are multiple characters that are American and Finnish in Alan Wake 2, and that Norse mythology is a part of the game, not about where the studio itself is located. And when that Gamefaqs poster expressed confusion about what Finland and Norse mythology had to do with Alan Wake 2’s characters, it made it very clear they had lied about even playing the game (or at least playing it anywhere even close to completion).
That‘s what I clearly said. Stop trying to read between the lines there, there’s nothing to fucking read.
I don’t like people who lie about shit like that poster on gamefaqs did, and if they start to “justify” said lying, they will continue to plummet in my estimation of them. PERIOD.
