Thank you Remedy for not Epic-jailing this like with Alan Wake 2! That game is such a masterpiece that more people need to play ๐Ÿ˜ญ

I'm still patiently waiting for it to get released on Steam.

All things land on Steam eventually.

It's not happening. Alan Wake 2 was not just a regular Epic exclusivity deal. Literally every other publisher refused to touch the franchise. Epic didn't just publish it, they fully funded its development. Given these circumstances, I can't imagine it ending up on Steam in the foreseeable future - if ever.

If you can't allow yourself to hold your nose and make an Epic account just pirate it at this point. It's an absolutely phenomenal game and not worth missing out on over attempting to show Tim Sweeney the middle finger.

just pirate

Second that. Also, I'm sure everyone at Remedy perfectly knew that there will be close to zero profit from sales on EGS. Things like that planned beforehand.
