I would have played but my 5 year old system can barely run it…
Probably a good game, not sure, but most of my gaming time is spent on Baldur’s Gate 3, play-through after play-through.
I would have picked it up but in waiting for it to come to Steam
Epic published the game, gonna be a long wait. It will come to steam when epic gives up the storefront dream, which is to say never.
For the most gamers I know games are available on Steam or the high seas, especially for me that use Linux so Epic games are not officially available, every game that only releases on Epic for me it’s a “too bad, I would have bought it”
Yup, I’ve never spent a dime at Epic because they don’t support Linux. I’ve bought games from Steam, Humble, and GOG because they do, and I spend far more on Steam because they support Linux better than the other two.
It’s pretty simple for me, if it’s easy to get on Linux, I’ll buy it. If not, I won’t.
I can wait. I got plenty to play. Even Xbox and Playstation are publishing their exclusives on good platforms now. Origin caved. I can wait a decade+ for Todd or Tim or whatever his name is to run out of fortnite money, lol.
I really want to play it, but it’s on epic. I’m waiting for steam version.
Same here. I’ll either wait it out until it eventually comes to Steam or just watch an LP.
PC gaming has taught me patience.
Because I hate using their crappy launcher. It needs me to log in every time. It’s more annoying than my banking app.
I don’t use it because there’s no official Linux client, and they don’t have Linux versions of games even when they exist on other platforms. Linux is what I use, so I’d have to go out of my way to use their platform.
Why bother? Steam gives me a fantastic user experience, almost all the games EGS has (and probably more), actively invests in my platform of choice, makes innovative hardware products like the Steam Deck (which I love), and prices are very similar.
EGS gives me… some free games and holds exclusives hostage? That’s not enough to win me over. Give me a good user experience, not bribes.
Only 850k copies? Jesus. Maybe release it on a bigger platform, lol. Like…not Epic?
Ampere estimates that globally, just on console, Alan Wake 2 sold 850,000 copies as of the end of November.
And,
Epic Games does not provide digital sales data to Circana, so there’s just no way for Circana to tell us how well it sold.
So no one knows apart from Epic and Remedy
