Not launching on Steam hurt sales hard on PC.
After their really primitive lie, Alan Wake 2 would be digital only just to bring it physical 1 year later, hoping to fool people who would double dip really hurt its sales. 1,8 million in a year is as good as nothing. Good that it flopped! So glad i did not buy it. And the thing is that it was planned all the time. As a costumer i would get together with other purchasers of the game and force my money back from a digital purchase.
I'm not sure how good 1.8mil is for Alan Wake, but this is gut-wrentching to hear! With how much acclaim this game has recieved, you would think it'd have passed at least 3mil by now. (Also, 40% completion rate is pretty insane. Reads to me, at minimum, half of consumers were very satisfied with their purchase.)
Control launched on Steam and has been out for 5 years and Alan Wake 2 missed the platform completely and has been out for 1 years. That's it. You're rambling nonsense and ignorance.
"false advertising based on the game cover"
she's on the cover of the game as well lmao.
you're not doing a good job hiding why you dislike her.
Looks at profile picture
Yep! Can confirm she is on the cover lol.
Wow, watch out people, we've got a bigot in the comment section. Lol "DEI character"...so you're the type of person who gets mad anytime a character in anything isn't a white male. What a freakin bigot loser.
Imagine being mad over the gender or skin color of a video game character. Wow. You've got some serious politically motivated brain rot going on.
You are completely breaking the rules with this comment. Completely Ad hominem attacks that are not allowed here.
DEI is a problem in the industry, it probably doesn't have much to do with this company, I don't know I honestly don't care. But don't pretend that people who have issues with DEI characters have brain rot, DEI is associated with the death or destruction of some of our most beloved franchises including but not limited to Star Wars and Lord of the Rings, to only name the most notorious ones.
I respect you as a poster, but this is a repulsive post here. Please don't write stuff like this anymore.
The thing is, the character was white in early development(even presented as such in some promotional materials), there's a whole theme in the AW series about Nordic background and mythology, and the name Saga Anderson is about as Nordic as they come. And suddenly she is black and blurts out random social grievances in the game that don't really fit anything that is going on? Plus, we know Remedy worked with Sweet Baby on this one.
Hmm, just random hate and bigotry, or calling out DEI bullshit, what do you reckon?
No bud... A quick google search will show you Control only sold 2 million unit in a year and a half... on a larger install base (PS4/XOne)
AW2 was next gen ONLY and has sold 1.8M in 13 months... plus its a Horror game which usually sells worse than Action games.
Look at the facts before you make some dumb while claims.
AW2 literally isn't woke at all lol
