Which is odd, since the game was one of Remedy Entertainment's
fastest-selling titles, and the long-awaited sequel to a beloved game.
It received generally favorable reviews, even if most agree it wasn't
quite as good as the first game. It should have put Remedy into the
black on day one. What went wrong?

They released a shit game that's a boring walking simulator compared
to the previous games.

Putting it on Steam would have subjected it to lots of user review
comments, which would have hurt sales even more.  If Epic even has
implemented these comments at all (I'm not that familiar with the Epic
launcher as I only use it to claim occasional free games), they are so
far out of sight that not many users will see them.

So if you have a shit game that you know is shit, it's wise to keep it
off Steam and where people are silenced.
