Remedy Entertainment has stood by its choice to release Alan Wake 2 exclusively on the Epic Games Store, despite discussions about its 2 million sales and possible revenue losses from Steam's absence. Michael Douse from Larian Studios raised concerns that this exclusivity might have impacted the game’s financial success. Remedy countered, stating that without Epic's backing, Alan Wake 2 might not have even been made. As they move forward with their next project, Control Resonant, Remedy's partnership with Annapurna Pictures hints at new opportunities. Do you think exclusivity deals like this benefit developers or hurt them in the long run?
