Numerous developers have reported that there is a significant spike in
sales once their exclusivity deal with Epic has ended. PC gamers see
the Epic storefront as a negative, not a benefit, and have repeatedly
shown a willingness to patiently wait it out until the game shows up
on other digital marketplaces. I'm not sure why Remedy thought their
game would be any different.
 
Of course, you could argue that people like me -folk who refuse to buy
the game on Epic- are the real problem; that if we really care about
supporting quality games (and the developers who produce them) we
should just pony up and buy "Alan Wake" regardless of what platform
it's on. But I just don't like doing business with Epic, and that
-unfortunately- means no sale. But were the "Alan Wake 2" on Steam,
I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
 

I resolved never to do any business with Epic when they knobbled a game I had already pre-
ordered on Steam. I waited a year, it came out on Steam, and I bought it.

Mark.
