Alan Wake 2 Skips Steam: Sweeney Confirms

This situation highlights a unique aspect of Alan Wake 2. Unlike many Epic Games Store exclusives, Epic Games not only published the title but also co-financed its development with Remedy. While Remedy reported Alan Wake 2's sales met expectations and expressed satisfaction with the collaboration, they've also announced future self-publishing, ensuring broader platform releases including Steam. Interestingly, despite meeting sales projections, the game has yet to turn a profit over a year after its release.
