Which is a tragedy, because I/like/  Remedy's games. But they're a
mid-tier studio, and extremely vulnerable to the twists of fortune.
They release maybe one game every two or three years; the profits from
the last game are all that keep the company alive to make the next
product. Big-name publishers can weather a flop because they have the
resources. Even Indie studios can survive a failure more easily,
because their overhead is so much less. But the mid-tier studios are
often one bad game from closing. And "Alan Wake 2" might be that bad
game.

Or you get bought up by some behemoth and get closed down to make the balance sheet look better. Those well 'deserved' bonus payments have to come from somewhere.
